Useful Ideas When Shipping Your Car

​When you need to ship your car, know that there are some risks involved in this process. Open trailers are cost-effective but are susceptible to theft and damage. On the other hand, enclosed auto transport companies have a lesser likelihood of theft or damage.
 
When shipping your car, you risk your vehicle and your money. Make sure the transport company you choose is reliable and efficient.
 
Here are some useful ideas that can be of help to you in ensuring the safety of your automobile.
​1. DO NOT GIVE A DEPOSIT
Reputable auto transport company normally do not ask for a deposit from their clients. They usually ask for the full payment after the car has been dropped off. It gives you the guarantee that the service you get reaches up to your expectations.
 
2. EMPHASIZE YOUR SCHEDULING
If your car’s delivery needs to occur on a specific occasion such as car show, anniversary, or birthday, make sure that the auto carrier knows about it. It is because most trucking companies ask for some time allowance for their delivery and pickup.
 
Usually, they require 5 to 7 days of time, as they may encounter various elements on the road.
 
3. DO NOT CHOOSE A CAR CARRIER BASED ON PRICE ALONE
Often, the most affordable price is not automatically the safest and the best option. In the shipping industry, quality is more important than quantity. A low price is a red flag. It could indicate substandard equipment and poor service.
 
4. PREPARE FOR CAR SHIPPING
If you have already chosen your car transport company, you need to do some things to prepare your car for the journey. Fill the tank with gas and full-charge your battery. Your car carrier may give you an additional fee if they cannot drive your car on and off the trailer.
 
Inspect the antifreeze level of your car so that it can endure the climates while on the road. It is also not ideal to put additional items inside your car because their safety is not guaranteed.
 
5. PERFORM A THOROUGH INSPECTION UPON DELIVERY
You or another person you trust should inspect your car thoroughly upon delivery. If you find any marks, scratches, or damages, make a note of them before you sign their document. For damages, you can file a claim against the auto carrier.
 
CONCLUSION
It is possible to ship your car whenever necessary. Check your auto insurance for the coverage applicable to car shipping.

Shipping a car across the country or overseas may be quite expensive and risky. So we should be sure that the transport company is reliable and efficient. We must not give a deposit as reputed transport companies don't ask for a deposit. We should give importance on our scheduling if we have to deliver the car for any car show, anniversary or birthday etc. Normally it takes 5-7 days for delivery. We must not choose a car carrier based on price alone as this indicates substandard equipment and poor service.

My husband will be on an out-of-town trip and he wants to bring his own car because he is trying to maximize the mileage. Thanks for your reminder that the enclosed transport service is more expensive than the open carrier as they provide extra care in handling and transferring the vehicle into the destination and they do not normally ask for a deposit. Moreover, it is highly advisable to get a reputable company that stands behind its service in transporting our most valued auto.

Thanks for pointing out that we should not base our choices on the prices alone, so we shouldn't pick the company with the lowest price when transporting a car. I will keep that in mind to keep the car safe. We just need to find these kinds of services because we want to send one of our old but useful cars to a relative who lost their belongings due to the fire in their area.
