Using Burlington Auto Transport Services

• Get References - References can be hard to come by in the auto transport industry at least genuine references written by a real customer. Be cautious of what you find on company websites and review sites. While these can be helpful, they should be approached with a grain of salt as they are also easy to manipulate. So where can you find good information from someone with experience using a car shipper? One good place to start is with real estate agents and moving companies. Many customers that are moving also need a car moved and getting a recommendation from a professional with some industry knowledge is clearly far preferable to trusting an anonymous source from the internet. Another good options to contact are auto dealerships and car rental agencies. Both types of business would have regular interaction with a car shipper.

• Insurance - There is a base level of insurance that every auto carrier must have in order to be licensed. This means that insurance is included in the overall cost of shipping and you should not have to pay extra for coverage. There are some circumstances in which additional coverage may be purchased, but that should be at your discretion and usually only applies when moving an expensive or luxury vehicle. If an auto transporter is trying to convince you need extra insurance for shipping a 2000 Toyota Corolla, that should raise some red flags. If you decide that you do want to purchase additional coverage, contact your auto insurance company first and see if you have any existing coverage. Some standard policies do include provisions for car shipping.

• Don’t Fill Up - You should not have more than one-quarter of a tank of gas in your vehicle before it’s picked up by the shipper. Some companies will even request as little as one-eighth of a tank before they will load your car onto the carrier. This is done for both safety and cost reasons: the weight of 8 full gas tanks compared 8 tanks that are only 1/8 full is quite substantial. One you decide on which company to work with, make sure know what sort of preparations they require before shipping!
