How Auto Transport Works

Another name for auto transport is vehicle shipping or auto shipping. It is a service that helps car owners or companies to relocate cars using especially desired trucks to different locations. Whenever you need your car moved, the first thing you would do is to request a quote from a potential auto transport company.

If the quote is within your range, you will reach out to the auto transport company and ask them everything you need to know, including the available shipping and payment options. If you are satisfied with the answers provided, you can go ahead and confirm the booking by depositing the agreed payment. Some companies will agree to partial payments at the beginning of the process, while others only accept total payments before the process begins.

The shipping cost often varies depending on the type of car you are transporting, transportation distance, the auto shipping option, and season. You are likely to pay higher shipping costs during summer than in winter because more people travel during summer.

Once the booking process is complete, a representative of the auto transport company will call to discuss the pick-up and delivery dates. They will also discuss what you need to do to ease the process and avoid unnecessary delays.

How to Cut the Shipping Cost and Improve the Process

Choosing a top-rated auto transport company alone will not assure you successful auto shipping. You can do things to reduce the initial shipping cost and avoid any hitches during transport.

Wash And Declutter the Car

Before the shipping date, thoroughly wash your car and remove all unnecessary items. At the end of the journey, identifying any possible scratch or dent at the end of the trip would be easy. Also, you would not want to show up in a new town with a dirty-looking car.

Removing all your items from your car will reduce the weight of your car since it is an important consideration when calculating when shipping costs. Decluttering the vehicle also reduces the possibility of a loss. In case of an accident, the insurance cover provided by the shipping company only covers your car.

Take Car for Service Maintenance

Your vehicle is driven into and out of the carrier truck during loading and unloading and you'll experience delays if your car fails to start during loading and unloading. If the car you are shipping is in working condition, it is important to take it to a mechanic for service maintenance.

Ask your mechanic to take a keen look at the battery condition, tire condition, fluid level (oil, brake fluid, washer, coolant), undercarriage leakages, and any mechanical problem identified by the shipping company. Auto transport companies often reject cars with aggressive undercarriage leakages.

Open-air Transport and The Door-To-Door Service

The standard shipping option for most customers is an open auto transport and door-to-door service. The open-air transport will ensure you pay less, and the door-to-door service will ensure you don't waste time delivering and picking your car.

With the door-to-door professional service, you will eliminate the chance of paying any extra storage charges. The argument that open-air transport will expose your car to the outside environment could be true, but it might save you some money in shipping costs.

Prepare The Paper Work

You have to prove to the vehicle shipping company that you are the actual owner of the car you are transporting. If you are a car dealer, you have to verify your documentation. Delivering your vehicle without the required papers may delay the shipping process.

Apart from the ownership documents, it is also essential to equip yourself with the agreement and proof to show the car transport company's amount. If there is a dispute relating to payments, you will need all the necessary documentation to prove claims on the amount you paid the auto transport company.

Take All Round Pictures

Last, you need to take all-around pictures of your car before handing it over to the auto transport company. If you are an individual car owner, this may not be necessary because you probably have a clear picture of your car at your fingertips. However, if you are a car dealer or company dealing with multiple vehicles, you may not have a clear picture of your car, and the only way to ensure your car arrives at Alta Sierra safely is to take round images of each of them. Whichever the case, take pictures to have sufficient documentation in case the car gets scratched or dinged.

When clearing out at the final destination, you can take your time to compare the condition of your car with the picture you took at the beginning of the process. If you realize any new scratch or dent, raise the issue with the auto shipping company before signing the delivery form.
