Using Moving Firms

What Not To Do - While our tips generally focus on what you should do to find the right mover, there are a few things you should make sure that you don’t do. Here is a short, but important, list of things to avoid when looking for the right company to move your vehicle:

• Getting only one estimate - There is no limit on how many companies you may contact or get price quotes from--take advantage of that and compare services!
• Accepting the lowest bid - Everyone wants to save money, but when you find an estimate that is significantly less than the others, there’s usually a good reason.
• Not researching companies - With a mover licensing information, it’s easy to look up their company history and safety records using the resources available at the FMCSA website.

Inquire About Discounts & Specials - While they’re not always advertised, many haulers will offer discounts to their customers. These discounts can take many forms and may be different from company to company, but there is a good chance you can save some money by shopping around and asking about discount programs. Here are some common customers that receive price breaks from companies:

• Members of the military (active duty & retired)
• College students and faculty
• Customers moving multiple vehicles at once
• Scheduling round-trip hauling
• First-time haulers & online booking
• Discounts for seniors
• Snowbirds & seasonal travelers

These are just a few of the possible discounts available to you from auto shippers--just make sure you ask about discounts, even if they’re not explicitly mentioned.

International Hauling: RORO v. Container - When you move overseas or internationally, you still have a choice as to what method you use. The two most common ways to haul to another country are using RORO (roll on, roll off) and container moving. Roll-on, roll-off method means the car is driven onto a boat and secured in the cargo area before making the trip. With a container, the vehicle is loaded into a container that is then put onto a ship. One of the advantages of using a container is that you’re allowed to put personal items in the container with the vehicle, whereas other methods require that the vehicle is hauled on its own. A third option, though much more expensive, is air freight. Air freight is usually only recommended for extremely rare or high-end vehicles.
