Avoid this company if possible. I wished that I would have checked out this site prior to giving this company a deposit. There's nothing about "pride" with this company. They sucker you in with a quote that is below average, get your deposit, and then forget about you! I had to keep on top of the company to ascertain if any enclosed drivers responded to my transport needs. After multiple calls, and five days into the ten day window, I was told that there was a driver who could pick up the car the next day, but he wanted more money. They wanted me to pay another $200.00 for the transport. Bottom line, I got tired of waiting and found another endclosed transport to do the transport for $1600.00. When I informed "Ashley" that I was unable to wait any longer, and that I found another company, she was somewhat rude and unprofessional about it. The last words I heard from Ashley was that I just lost my $150.00 deposit. Yes, the costs were more, but I've learned my lesson about American Pride Auto Ride....

Before any order is processed all customers are required to consent to terms and condition via electronic signature. Bill consented to a (10) say window for pickup of his vehicle. On the fifth day, Bill was advised that a transporter was located but was requesting an additional $200.00. Bill was also advised that he was under no obligation to accept the additional billing as there were still (5) days remaining per agreement to locate him a transporter. Although Bill would have shipped his vehicle for less money by utilizing our brokerage he became very impatient and decided to cancel his order prior to the expiration of the (10) day pickup window. Unfortunately Bill was now not entitled to a refund as per the agreement he consented to as he had booked with another company during the interim. Bill could of had his vehicle shipped with our company for $1550.00, he elected to chose another shipper for $1600.00.
