2026 Navi Auto Transport Review

Navi Auto Transport is a relatively new car shipping broker that's making waves for its affordable prices. But do you get what you pay for? In this review, we'll take a closer look at how Navi Auto Transport stands up in terms of reliability, insurance, and customer satisfaction. 

Navi Auto Transport tends to give lower quotes than the competition, but none of these quotes are guaranteed. Like other car shipping brokers, Navi doesn't dispatch its own drivers. Instead, it networks with third-party carriers to fulfill your request. Carriers may not bid on your job if the price is too low, which may prompt Navi representatives to increase the price to secure a carrier. A higher quote from a broker like Sherpa Auto Transport or Montway Auto Transport may be more accurate when all is said and done, but it's difficult for any broker to predict the final cost of your transport.

In 2026, the average cost to ship a car with Navi Auto Transport is approximately $748 to $1,171. Prices range from about $236 to transport a small car one hundred miles on an open carrier to more than $1,784 for a coast-to-coast move.

Navi told us their prices tend to work out to about $0.60–$2.20 per mile. When we got eight custom quotes through Navi's price calculator, the average cost per mile came to $1.30 in an open carrier and $2.33 in a closed carrier. Both prices fall below industry averages.

Navi also offers four additional services:

• 1-day guaranteed pickup: $350
• 2-day guaranteed pickup: $250
• Top load: $100
• Personal items weighing more than 100 pounds: $1/pound

No deposit is required, but you do need to put a credit or debit card on file to start the booking process. You may be charged a $149 cancellation fee if you cancel after a carrier starts driving to get your vehicle.

If you find a reputable car shipper with a lower price, Navi will match it. 

Several factors can increase the cost of shipping your car with Navi. We've summarized our findings in the table below. 

Navi accepts oversized, low-clearance, and modified vehicles, but they tend to cost more to ship because a special type of trailer is needed. Contact Navi directly for a custom quote. 

Navi Auto Transport offers $50–$100 discounts for the following:

• Military members
• Veterans
• Students
• Teachers
• Seniors
• Law enforcement
• First responders
• Repeat customers
• People shipping multiple vehicles
• People willing to pay with cash upon delivery
• People who book several weeks in advance

Carriers are required by law to carry at least $100,000 in motor truck cargo insurance, and Navi Auto Transport only works with carriers who meet or exceed this minimum requirement. If you need to file a claim for damages, Navi will help you submit information to the carrier's insurance company.

However, if you're looking for additional broker-sponsored coverage, like gap coverage or a damage-free guarantee, you may want to consider a different company.  

Navi Auto Transport offers guaranteed pickup dates for an extra fee:

• 1-day pickup: $350
• 2-day pickup: $250

If you select guaranteed pickup, Navi customer service will prioritize your vehicle and coordinate with expedited carriers. However, there's always a chance that no carriers will be available in your area, so it can be risky to ask for a 24- to 48-hour pickup window.

Navi doesn't guarantee delivery dates, but that's normal in the auto transport industry. Traffic, breakdowns, and last-minute pickups can affect the delivery time, making it tough to guarantee when your vehicle will arrive. Navi will give you an estimated delivery date and allow you to check the vehicle's status through its online tracking tool. However, only some carriers offer true real-time GPS tracking. Some Navi customers are disappointed to find that the tracker only says "in transit" instead of showing a precise location. 

Navi Auto Transport reviews also indicate that some carriers do a better job communicating about delays than others. Some people say their pickup and delivery happened on-schedule, while others say the carrier arrived days or weeks later. No auto transport broker is immune to these complaints, so we're not alarmed to occasionally see these comments in Navi reviews.

We believe the majority of Navi Auto Transport carriers are trustworthy and unlikely to try to scam you or endanger you or your vehicle. Some customers have had poor experiences with carriers booked through Navi, but the company makes an effort to identify and remove these carriers from its network.

It's important to remember that the person who picks up and delivers your vehicle isn't a Navi Auto Transport employee. They're a licensed, fully insured driver who finds car-hauling jobs through brokers like Navi. Many carriers act professionally because this is their livelihood, but sometimes problems occur. For example, several Navi customers say their carrier demanded more money than expected upon delivery. It's unclear whether this is purely scam behavior from the carriers or a potential communication breakdown between Navi and the carriers about final costs. 

Consider asking a Navi representative if it's possible to connect you with a carrier that isn't new to their network. A more experienced carrier may come at a premium price, but it could be worth it for extra peace of mind. 

Many Navi customers are satisfied with their car shipping experience, awarding the company an average of 3.5 out of five stars. People who leave positive reviews tend to praise Navi's responsive customer service, punctual carriers, affordable prices, and simple tracking system.

Unhappy customers tend to report unwanted rescheduling, price increases, and poor communication. Navi representatives respond to many negative reviews to clarify their policies or to ask for more information about careless carriers. 

Some of the industry's top brokers maintain average star ratings of at least four out of five, so Navi Auto Transport has some catching up to do. Lower ratings may be a symptom of the company's youth, as it has only been in business for about two years. We hope to see an uptick in customer satisfaction as Navi continues to build its network of quality carriers. 

When we first started researching car shipping companies, we noticed an alarming trend: every brand seemed to have irate customers warning others to never use them. Type any car shipping company into Google and you'll find people complaining about lapses in communication, no-show carriers, surprise price increases, and scratched vehicles. 

Such widespread dissatisfaction seems to suggest that the problem isn't necessarily with the companies themselves, but with the car shipping industry as a whole. Brokers provide a popular service by streamlining the hiring process and allowing multiple carriers to bid on each job, which helps lower the final price. Some brokers offer additional perks like extra insurance coverage and quick access to a back-up plan when a carrier drops the ball, but the fact remains that they're middlemen and have little control over the carriers' schedules or communication skills.

Still, there are companies that successfully deliver cars and customer satisfaction more often than others. It's our job to figure out how they do it and who has the best track record.

Navi Auto Transport doesn't have two decades of experience under its belt like some of its competitors, but it has wasted no time establishing itself as an affordable option. Navi's network of carriers can transport to and from residences, storage facilities, auction houses, and ports, offering flexibility that can be difficult to find elsewhere. With no deposit required and no cancellation fees until dispatch, working with Navi is low-risk. It's worth seeing what kind of price and timeline they can offer compared to the competition.
