Using Des Plaines Vehicle Transport Companies
- Online Presence - The internet is one of the first places most people will look when they need a service or product and auto transport is no different. It’s a great place to look if you need a price quote, but it can be difficult to find much information beyond an “about us” page and a list of services on most websites. More established companies will have a website that explains the process clearly and addresses some of the questions or concerns you may have about shipping your car. To get an idea of what we mean, visit our auto transport guide, where a wealth of topics are covered, as well as information about home moving. To be fair, not all companies have the time or staff to maintain an up-to-date website, but it’s usually the sign of an established company that ships to many locations on a regular basis.
- How To Compare Prices - For customers who may have never shipped a vehicle before, this is simple explanation of how to shop for quotes. The first step is to find three to five experienced companies and get a price estimate from each of them, ideally at least a couple weeks from your desired pick up date. Based on the prices and delivery dates you receive, you can pick the one that works best for you. While it’s always good to get a deal, watch out for suspiciously low cost estimates-there’s usually a catch, or worse. Getting an estimate from more than one company allows you to determine the price range and avoid the pitfalls that come with these “lowball” quotes. Before you make a final decision, call the company to verify information, ask questions, and make sure you feel comfortable with their customer service. No money should exchange hands before you’ve received a contract.
- Take Photos - Before you car is picked up and loaded onto a transport carrier, you should take photographs to document its condition, good or bad. This tip isn’t a requirement so much as a suggestion, but it’s a good practice that can potentially save you some trouble in the long run. For expensive, luxury or exotic cars, photos can be helpful even if the car is perfect condition-if a company moves your car, it should arrive in the same condition it left in and you’ll be able to tell if that’s the case easily. For cars that have some dents, scratches or other damage, it’s still helpful to take pictures in case any other damage occurs during shipping. It should be noted that damage to vehicles during transport is rare and any shipper registered with the FMCSA carries insurance that covers such incidents.
