Using Abilene Auto Transport Services

This section explains the basics of the auto transport process, including what you need to do to prepare your car and what the requirements are for a vehicle to be shipped to or from Abilene.

Information – Before contacting any companies (even through a form on their website like the one to the right), you should gather some basic information about the vehicle(s) you need to be shipped. Important aspects that will affect the price of transport include the car’s current location, make, model, year and of course, delivery destination. Most companies will ask for some basic contact information of yours when you request a price estimate–usually just your name, email and phone number. It’s also a good idea to have a timeframe for delivery that you’re comfortable with, ideally several weeks out from when you start contacting auto transporters in your area.

Shipping a vehicle internationally? One of the best and most affordable ways to do it is by a container and you can find the world’s most popular ports for container shipping on this page.

Requirements – In order for the shipper to load your vehicle onto the transport carrier, there are a few requirements that you’ll need to meet (see below for the information about external components and modifications). The gas level in the vehicle should be at less than one-quarter tank and if it’s higher, you might face an additional fee from the company. Hauling multiple vehicles at once means that gas weight adds up and this is a way that companies help minimize the cargo weight they’re hauling. Personal items are not allowed to be transported inside the vehicle when it’s being shipped. The inside of the car should be clean and as empty as possible, including any removable electronics. Finally, the car needs to be in good running condition. Some shippers can move inoperable vehicles, but most use a type of carrier that requires the car to be driven or rolled onto it for loading.

Modifications – Any modifications or custom parts that have been added to your vehicle could pose a potential problem when transporting over a long distance. Because of this, most auto shipping companies will request that any removable components be stored before loading. This includes items like rear spoilers, specialized antennas, luggage or bike racks, removable GPS and music systems and pretty much anything else that can be removed. If there is any issue that may affect the clearance level of the vehicle, either above or below the car, that should be communicated with the transport company as early as possible.
