Hauling Options

Before you choose an appropriate company to move your car, you need to understand the options offered by car transportation services. At a glance, most carriers provide customers with four basic relocation options;

• Open-air auto shipping
• Enclosed auto transport
• Door to door service
• Terminal to terminal service

Open-Air Moving

These are carriers you often see on the road loaded with eight to ten cars. They are cheaper than the enclosed auto transport option but expose your vehicle to the outside environment. It's a convenient option if you're shipping an ordinary car or multiple cars to Avocado Heights.

Enclosed Auto Transport

Your car is loaded into a fully covered truck or container before being hauled to the new location. As a result, you will not have to worry about harsh weather conditions, road debris, and prying eyes throughout the process. The only undoing of using this option is that you will have to pay more.

Door To Door Service

The auto transport company will assign someone to pick up and drop your car at a designated location. It's a good option if your schedule is too tight and if you're willing to spend more to move your vehicle to Avocado Heights.

Terminal To Terminal Service

Your vehicle arrives and departs from a designated location, and it is consolidated with other cars to be shipped to another terminal location. You will pay less to use this option, but you will be required to an area where it is consolidated with other cars before being shipped to Avocado Heights. If you choose this option, your travel plans should coincide with the day your vehicle will arrive at the destination to avoid paying an additional shipping fee.

The option you choose for your car depends on moving needs and budget. If you're shipping an expensive or delicate motor vehicle, the enclosed auto transport and door-to-door service is a good choice for you. However, if you're moving an ordinary car and you have all the time at your disposal, the open-air auto shipping and terminal to terminal is a better option for you.

How Relocating Companies Determine the Moving Prices

Many people know the process but have no idea how moving companies calculate the shipping cost. Here is a quick breakdown of what most carriers consider when calculating the auto transport cost to clear the frog.

Vehicle Model, Size, and Weight

Relocating pickup trucks and SUVs will cost more than shipping smaller automobiles. Size and weight are therefore essential factors when calculating the shipping cost. If possible, you should remove all personal items and detachables from your car before handing them over to the shipping company.

Doing that will not only reduce the weight of your car but mitigate the risk of losing your items during freighting. In case of an accident, the insurance company will compensate nothing apart from your vehicle.

Shipping Distance

Another important factor that determines the shipping cost is transportation distance. This is why you're required to provide accurate pickup and drop points when filling out the quote form. Carrier trucks will use fuel to haul cars to bigger distances than smaller distances. There is also the amount of time spent on the road; the higher the distance, the more time the carrier drivers will spend.

Season

Shipping rates vary depending on demand, and supply dictates the shipping rates. People tend to travel more during the summer than in the winter, so shipping rates are higher. If you're working under a tight budget, you will get the best deals during winter than summertime.

Auto Transport Option

The car shipping option you choose depends on your moving needs and budget. If you're transporting a luxury, expensive, or delicate automobile, the enclosed auto transport and the options of the door-to-door service are good choices for you. However, if you're working under a tight budget, the open-air and the terminal-to-terminal service are perfect shipping options for you.

Freighting An Automobile

The shipping process consists of three main stages – selecting a carrier, making the order, fulfilling the order, and receiving the car. To ensure your vehicle arrives at the destination successfully, each of these stages must succeed. Here is a deep look at how each step occurs and expectations.

Step 1 – Select A Company

The company you choose plays a significant role in whether the process will be a success or not. All auto transport companies will claim to offer quality services, but a few will keep their word. To reduce your chance of falling into the wrong hands, here are things you to look at when choosing a car transport company.

Registration and licenses - A reputable carrier should have all the required permits and be registered with relevant agencies. Ensure that the transporter is registered with the Department of Transport and has an MC number. Verify the legitimacy of the information provided with FMCSA.

Insurance and bond - If the car, driver or both or a third party get involved in an accident, you stay covered as long as the carrier is insured. The majority of car insurance agencies never cover cars being shipped. Nevertheless, you need to know about their insurance coverage. Read and understand the coverage you get while your car is in transit. Besides registration, ensure that the company you're dealing with is bonded and insured.

Reputation - Check what previous customers are saying about the vehicle trucking company. Most car transport companies have a customer review section where previous customers share their thoughts about the company's services. Better still, if you have someone within your circle who has used the auto transport company before, ask them what they think.

Step 2 – Make A Payment

Once you have identified a suitable company, call them and discuss the payment methods. Some companies allow customers to make partial payments, while others require customers to make full payments before the process begins. Ensure the payment method provided by the shipper is safe and verifiable.

Step 3 – Schedule A Pickup

A representative of the auto transport company will call and arrange the pickup dates. They will also advise you on what you can do to make the process smooth and successful. Speaking with the customer care representative also allows you to ask any questions concerning the process.

Step 4 – Prepare Your Car for Shipping

Once the booking process is done, it's time for you to prepare your car for shipping. Whether your vehicle is in good working condition or not, take it to your mechanic for general service. In addition to what your mechanic will recommend, check the car for undercarriage leakages, fluid levels, battery condition, and tire condition.
