Vehicle Transport Companies

When you are looking to book vehicle transport services, keep a few key tips in mind:

• Scrutinize your vehicle before shipping: Look for dents and other cosmetic issues before moving your vehicle to ensure that you know the difference between existing issues and damage that may have been incurred during the auto-hauling process.
• Look for a company that offers quality service and affordability: You shouldn’t have to compromise one or another just to ship your vehicle. When searching for a company, opt for one that offers both.
• Request documentation from the shipping company: From insurance to proof of US DOT registration, ask to see documentation from your auto shipping company before signing on the dotted line to ensure that the company in question is legit.

How Cars Are Hauled

Open Auto Carrier- This standard auto transport service offers an affordable way to ship a car nationwide. With no wear and tear from driving hundreds or thousands of miles to the destination, open modes of transport are the most common way that cars are shipped. The vehicle is loaded onto the carrier by driving it up a short ramp and securing it in a place where it will be driven to the delivery location.

With open transport, vehicles are fully exposed to the elements, just like they are when they are driven. If you own a luxury car, classic, or other rare or valuable vehicle, you may want to consider enclosed services rather than open.

Enclosed Auto Carrier- Enclosed auto transport services are for those vehicles that need a very secure environment due to value or condition. Cars like classic roadsters and hotrods, race cars, high-end luxury cars, and vintage collectibles are often shipped with enclosed auto transport to prevent contact with foul weather, vandals, and road debris.

There are fewer enclosed transport carriers available, which means you may be able to have a guaranteed delivery date when you book service, but be prepared to pay more for the service. Enclosed transport can cost more than open auto transport because the carrier hauls fewer cars than an open carrier, and insurance premiums may be higher because of the car value and the extra care that is provided by drivers due to the condition of the cars they haul.

Train- Tr trains are a great place to start when you want to find cheap auto transport. Depending on how much time you have in advance to schedule and how far you may be from a station, trains can offer open and enclosed services for a lower cost than interstate transport. The only drawbacks to train service are that you need to schedule one to two months in advance, and you may need to schedule interstate transport to get the car to or from a station if there is not one local to you.

Plane-air freight is a speedy way to ship a car worldwide. It is also a very pricey mode of transport and is usually only scheduled for very expensive (Think; McLaren or Bugatti) motor vehicles that must be highly protected during shipment and with an overall value that is far too high to chance transport on the ground. It is not recommended for cars that are driven daily unless you don’t mind paying the high shipping rates. It is, however, the quickest way to have a vehicle delivered fast.
