What You Need to Know About Hauling

People ship cars across the country for many reasons. It could be a move to college, a new workplace, a car show appearance, or a new purchase. You need to understand the basics of auto moving to help you identify a trustworthy hauler company to move your vehicle. Here are tips to help you in auto shipping:

The Required Documentations

Before you search for the right mover to move your vehicle, find out if you have all the paperwork the transporter needs to ascertain you are the rightful owner of the vehicle you want to be moved. Most companies will require you to provide the following:

• Identification, passport or driver's license
• Car's title
• Registration
• Proof of insurance
• Proof of ownership

Failure to provide these documents in time may cause delays, or the company will decline to ship your automobile.

You might need additional paperwork for international delivery depending on whether you are importing or exporting. In most cases, you will be asked to show the certificate of title, tax payment, import duties, and bank consent if you financed your vehicle overseas.

Moving Firms

Not every day do you need household items moved from one part of the country to another, so you probably don't know much about auto shipping. Since it could cost you hundreds of dollars, it pays to spare time to research before picking on a particular transporter.

Before you trust a firm with your automobile or household items, consider online reviews, registration, license and bond, rates, and years of experience. Make a small list of companies that offer the kind of services you are looking for and compare them against these factors.

You can make use of the following resources during your research:

• Recommendations from family or friends
• Local car dealerships
• The Better Business Bureau (BBB)
• Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)

Bear in mind that the most expensive or cheapest mover in the market is not always the best. Quality services at an affordable price are what matters.

Enclosed vs. Open Delivery

Most hauler companies offer customers the choice between open and enclosed methods. While both options are reliable, they differ in price and safety levels. Your choice, therefore, boils down to your budget and the type of car you want to be moved.

Open Delivery

This option facilitates cars using open trailers. It is the country's most popular option because it is affordable and easily available. Even though your vehicle is exposed during shipping, the carrier trucks used are designed to hold the shipment in place even under pressure.

In the unlikely situation that your car is damaged by road debris or harsh weather during moving, the company through the insurance coverage takes liability. Open transport is commonly used to facilitate ordinary and used automobiles.

Enclosed Hauling

The enclosed method is the perfect alternative if you are worried about exposing your automobile during shipping. Thanks to the fully covered truck used, the shipment remains anonymous to the outside world. The only challenge with this option is that you could pay up to 60% more than open transport and have to wait longer to receive your vehicle at the destination. Enclosed hauling is most suitable for expensive, luxury or delicate automobiles.

Door-to-Door vs. Terminal-to-Terminal Service

Your selected service will determine how your car is picked up and delivered.

Door-To-Door Service

For this service, you can choose your desired pickup and drop-off locations. However, your desired pickup and drop-off locations must be accessible to the company. You will pay a few hundred dollars more, but it will save you time and effort. In addition, you will not have to worry about the safety of your auto at the firm terminus.

Terminal-To-Terminal Service

For this service, vehicles that must be transported or picked up are kept at the company terminus. Usually, these terminuses are located in major towns or residential neighborhoods. The terminal-to-terminal service is not as convenient as the door-to-door service, but the cost is lower. Before you choose this service, ensure there are no major security concerns about the safety of your vehicle at the firm terminus or storage point.

Delivery Dates

For the carrier company to put together a plan to facilitate your vehicle, they have to know the location and destination of your car and the schedule. Make the firm understand your needs to avoid surprises later in the process.

The pickup and delivery dates are almost impossible to tell when it comes to auto shipping. A reputable hauler will most likely offer a five to ten days window for pickup or drop off.

If you need your vehicle delivered before a specific date, the company will arrange for expedited services, but it will cost you more. We advise you to book your slot with the firm at least one month before your intended travel date to avoid a last-minute rush.
