About Van 3 Auto Transport

Based in Countryside, Illinois, Van 3 helps people arrange vehicle transport across the United States. Our car shipping experience dates back to 1999, and our approach is built around clear information, practical planning and a team you can speak with before you book.

A vehicle move often comes with other changes: a new home, a car bought from another state, a seasonal move or a military relocation. We help customers understand the transport options and coordinate their shipment with a carrier, so they know what to prepare and what happens next. Whether you are shipping an everyday car or discussing the needs of a classic or exotic vehicle, the starting point is the same: your route, your vehicle and the arrangements that matter to you.

The company behind your shipment

VAN 3 AUTO TRANSPORT INC operates as a transport broker. We arrange the shipment through a carrier network; the assigned carrier operates the truck and performs pickup and delivery. Our business details and public profiles give you a starting point for checking who you are booking with.

People to help you plan your move

Car shipping questions are often specific to the vehicle and the people at either end of the route. Our team helps you work through those details, from selecting a transport type to understanding what the carrier needs at pickup. Tell us about anything that could affect loading or access before you make the booking.

A conversation before you book

An everyday vehicle, a low-clearance car and a restored classic can call for different discussions. Explain the vehicle’s running condition, dimensions, modifications and any handling concerns. We can talk through open or enclosed transport and the proposed arrangements, helping you understand the service you are considering.

Communication around the shipment

Let the team know if your requested dates change, the car is no longer ready or someone else will attend the handover. Keep your booking details available when you contact us. The carrier will call before pickup to arrange the details, so make sure the right contact person can be reached.

How we arrange the transport

Our work connects the information you provide with the practical requirements of the shipment. Van 3 checks carrier authority, insurance, safety history and previous performance as part of its vetting process, then coordinates the move with a carrier. Vehicle requirements, truck access and the route all need to be part of the conversation.

From route details to booking

After you complete the quote form, the system finds the best available quote for your transport type and route and displays it on a new page. You can book there and choose payment in full or a deposit by credit card, debit card or PayPal. Review your vehicle and route details carefully, and ask the team about any special requirements before confirming.

From pickup to delivery

We arrange pickup and delivery at your address or a nearby safe meeting point that the truck can access. Be present, or discuss an authorized representative, and inspect the vehicle with the driver at each handover. Record its condition on the paperwork and keep a copy. Before booking a special vehicle, ask about the assigned carrier’s coverage and any relevant conditions.

Your quote is locked for 48 hours after you receive it, with no hidden fees. If you do not book in that time, the offer may change; an updated quote is locked for another 48 hours. Read the Price Lock details before booking.

Accreditation and feedback you can review

Trust is easier to assess when you can read the evidence for yourself. Our confirmed accreditation is with the Better Business Bureau. We also direct customers to the existing review collection and public review profiles, where they can consider the experiences described alongside the service information.

Our BBB accreditation

The BBB business profile lists Van 3 as an Accredited Business, with accreditation since August 1, 2015 and an A+ business rating, checked October 16, 2026. Follow the profile to see the latest status and the information published there.

Car shipping across the United States

From our Countryside base, we arrange vehicle transport across the United States. You may be moving a car between neighboring states or planning a longer cross-country route. Provide the pickup and delivery ZIP codes, your vehicle details and requested dates so the quote and proposed arrangements reflect the journey.

An address or a nearby safe point

Our door-to-door service uses your pickup and delivery addresses where the truck can safely and legally reach them. Narrow streets, low trees, tight turns or access restrictions may mean meeting nearby instead. Discuss those conditions in advance and agree the practical details with the carrier before pickup.
