Expedited car shipping solves a specific problem: you need your vehicle delivered on a deadline that standard transport cannot meet. Whether you're relocating for employment, managing a business transaction, or handling an urgent personal situation, delayed vehicle arrival creates cascading problems that affect your livelihood, commitments, and financial stability.
BAH Logistics has specialized in expedited auto transport, executing over hundreds of priority shipments for customers facing time-critical circumstances. Our 99.2% on-time pickup rate and years of industry experience provide the reliability required when vehicle delivery timelines are non-negotiable.
Military PCS Moves & Deployment Orders: Permanent Change of Station orders and deployment notifications often provide minimal advance notice, creating tight timelines that standard 10-14 day shipping cannot accommodate. Our priority military service executes pickup within 24-48 hours and delivers vehicles to new duty stations as soon as possible, ensuring transportation arrives when service members need it most.
Job Relocation with Firm Start Dates: Starting a new position without reliable transportation creates immediate professional challenges, yet driving cross-country consumes your entire transition period and costs more than expedited shipping when you factor in fuel, hotels, and lost time. Fly to your new location and have your vehicle delivered on an accelerated timeline, ready before your first day of work. We coordinate arrival timing to align with your employment start date, eliminating rental car expenses and arrival stress.
Dealership Sales & Customer Delivery Commitments: Delayed vehicle delivery to out-of-state buyers increases cancellation risk, creates financing complications, and generates negative reviews that affect future sales. Expedited dealership transport delivers sold vehicles significantly faster than standard timelines, maintaining customer enthusiasm and protecting revenue while purchase commitment remains strong. Fast fulfillment strengthens customer relationships, generates positive reviews, and frees valuable lot space for new inventory.
Online Vehicle Purchases with Removal Deadlines: Auction purchases and private sales typically require vehicle removal within 7-10 days, with storage fees accruing for missed deadlines, yet flying to retrieve vehicles costs $1,500-2,500 when you include airfare, hotels, and driving time. Pickup executes within 24-48 hours with expedited delivery, meeting seller contractual requirements without personal travel, added mileage, or driving risk. Direct coordination with sellers and auction houses ensures seamless vehicle release and documentation.
Event Deadlines (Car Shows, Weddings, Commercial Productions): Event dates are fixed and cannot be rescheduled, yet standard shipping timelines risk missing shows, weddings, or productions entirely—forfeiting entry fees and business opportunities. Expedited service delivers vehicles well before event dates, providing adequate time for detailing, staging, and final preparations without last-minute pressure. We've successfully transported over 600 vehicles for time-sensitive events where arrival timing was non-negotiable.

Expedited (the fastest) car shipping typically costs 30% to 40% above standard auto transport rates, ensuring your vehicle receives priority placement in the shipping schedule. Depending on route distance, timeline urgency, and vehicle size, expect surcharges ranging from $200 to $500 or more.
Several factors can further impact your expedited shipping quote:
Transport Method: Enclosed transport adds $300 to $600+ for maximum protection during expedited delivery, making it ideal for luxury or high-value vehicles.
Pickup & Delivery Locations: Door-to-door service provides maximum convenience, while remote or hard-to-access areas increase costs compared to terminal pickup at major transportation hubs.
Route Demand: Popular corridors like California to Texas or Florida to New York typically cost less per mile than less-traveled or rural routes due to higher carrier availability.
Seasonal Demand: Peak moving seasons—summer months, holidays, and month-end periods—can increase expedited rates by 20% to 30% due to higher demand.
Vehicle Condition: Non-running vehicles require special loading equipment and may add $150 to $300+ to your expedited quote.
