Helpful Auto Trasport Tips

A vehicle is expensive and delicate, and you cannot afford to make any mistakes, especially when selecting an auto transport company. Our experts here at A-1 Auto Transport have compiled helpful tips to help you make an informed decision.

Find The Right Transporter

Picking the right auto transport company is essential. There are numerous auto transport companies online, and selecting the right one is difficult. You can rely on referrals from friends or family members, but it's important to do your research since auto-shipping needs vary.

You can contact an auto transport company directly or through a broker. Whichever way you choose, you have to ensure they are registered with the FMCSA. However, we advise you to work directly with an auto transport company to avoid additional charges and get first-hand information about the process.

There are several things to help you separate reputable haulers from those with questionable traits. First, check whether the transporter has authentic customer reviews on the website. If they do, check out what previous customers think about the quality of their services. Google Reviews, Trustpilot, and Better Business Bureau (BBB) are other trusted platforms to gauge a carrier company.

A reputable auto carrier company must have a well-designed website with all relevant features and information indicated. The website of a transport company should have a free quote form, contact information, physical address, registration (USDOT number), and customer reviews.

Evaluate The Auto Transport Prices

The next step is to evaluate how much you're likely to pay as auto transport costs. Consider requesting quotes from several transporters before choosing one that suits your budget. And the good thing is that auto transport quotes are free and non-obligatory, so you can request as many as you want.

As you vet auto transport companies based on rates, be careful with those charging lower than the average market prices. Some entice customers with low rates but have numerous additional hidden charges. Worse still, some offer lower rates but compromise on the quality of service.

Auto transport quotes vary depending on transportation distance, vehicle type, auto carrier option and season. Cross-country shipping often costs between $600 and $1800. However, you should expect to pay much higher to ship your vehicle with enclosed transport.

Choose Your Suitable Auto Carrier Option (Open or Enclosed Transport)

You can choose to ship your vehicle with an open or enclosed carrier truck. As the name suggests, open carrier trucks are uncovered trucks used to ship automobiles. On the other hand, enclosed carrier trucks have side walls and a roof. The option you choose depends on the type of vehicle you want to be moved and your needs.

Statistically, nearly 90% of auto transport customers prefer open transport over enclosed transport. Even though it exposes your vehicle to the outside environment during shipping, it has proven to be as safe as enclosed transport. Plus, most vehicles are not vulnerable to harsh weather conditions or road debris.

With regards to price, open-air carriers are way cheaper than enclosed carriers. The fact that more vehicles can be loaded into the carrier truck reduces the auto transport cost for individual vehicles. In most cases, you will pay up to 60% less than the amount you would have paid to ship with an enclosed carrier.

Schedule Your Shipment Early

You need to understand that auto shipping is not as fast as driving. Cross-country shipping is a large logistical puzzle that requires days, at times, weeks to plan. So, you should book a slot with an auto transport company as soon as possible.

The average timeframes to transport vehicles for different distances are as follows;

• 100 to 500 miles, 1–2 days
• 500 to 1000 miles, 2–3 days
• 1000 to 1500 miles, 3–4 days
• 1500 to 2000 miles, 4–5 days
• 2000 to 2500 miles, 5–6 days
• 2500 to 3000 miles, 6–7 days

These dates are from when the transport company picks up your vehicle to the drop off date and not when you sign a contract to the drop off date.

It is near impossible for the transport company to provide a definite timeframe. Most prefer giving an open timeframe of between five and ten days.

Prepare Your Vehicle for Shipping

Lastly, there are a few measures to ensure the auto transport process is smooth and to cut costs down. A reputable transporter should have them listed on the website and inform the customer before the pickup date.

Here is a list of things to do as you await the pickup date:

• Perform general service
• Thoroughly clean the vehicle
• Unload unnecessary items
• Take all-round pictures of your vehicle
• Leave the gas tank ¼ full

You should receive a notification one or two days before the pickup date, so you will have sufficient time to prepare your vehicle for shipping.

During pickup at the end of the shipping process, you will sign the Bill of Lading to indicate the condition of your vehicle. If you notice any damages at the end, raise the issue immediately. The transport company, through insurance, should pay for all damages to your vehicle during shipping.
