Auto Transport Affiliate Program

An auto transport affiliate program pays publishers or referral partners for sending prospective vehicle-shipping customers to a transport company under the program’s agreed compensation terms. A1 says its affiliates can use promotional materials and real-time lead-tracking software to monitor referrals as they arrive. Learning the services being promoted also helps you match content to the right customer need; A1’s car transportation services page covers its main vehicle-shipping options.

As of September 24, 2026, A1’s program page lists $50-$200 per booked shipment or 5%-15% commission, while the same page also describes its affiliate arrangement as pay per lead rather than per sale. Because those are different compensation models, applicants should confirm the active payout schedule for their account before forecasting income. Shipment values can vary widely, and A1’s car shipping rates guide explains the underlying transport costs customers may encounter.

An auto transport affiliate program is best suited to publishers whose audience already has a reason to research moving or shipping vehicles. A1 specifically invites owners of automobile or related websites and blogs to inquire about its program. Relevant audiences can include people researching relocation, vehicle purchases, dealerships, motorcycles, classic cars, military moves, or other situations that create a need for vehicle transport. The closer the audience is to an actual shipping need, the more naturally the referral fits the content.

A1 says affiliates receive real-time tracking software that records leads as they come in, giving partners a way to monitor referral activity without relying only on customer reports. The current program page also states that affiliate payments are made monthly and are issued within 10 days after the end of the month. Since compensation terms can differ by affiliate arrangement, your approved program terms should identify which recorded leads or other actions qualify for payment.

An affiliate that only advertises a service and refers prospective customers does not need FMCSA broker authority merely to publish referral content. FMCSA requires registration when a business acts as a broker and arranges interstate motor-carrier transportation, so that distinction matters if your role goes beyond marketing. A1’s auto transport broker guide explains that separate business role. Paid affiliates should also clearly disclose their financial relationship with the company they promote under FTC endorsement guidance.

A1 says it is currently accepting applications for its affiliate network and directs prospective partners to contact the company by email for program information. The live page does not present the program as an instant self-service enrollment; interested publishers contact A1 first and receive the applicable partnership details. Once participating, A1 says affiliates can access promotional copy, graphics, forms, and its real-time referral-tracking software for their campaigns.
