The Auto Shipping Process

Choosing a company you can trust with your car for days or even months is a critical decision. You need to choose an established company that will give you value for your money.

The auto shipping industry in the United States is huge, with hundreds of companies offering shipping services across the country. The auto shipping process is more than just picking a company and handing over your car to the shipping company.

Here are five steps to follow when choosing an appropriate shipping company:

Step 1 Understand Your Needs

First, you have to understand your car shipping needs and expectation. Needs here means how you want your car shipped, timelines and budget. There are three essential factors to consider when choosing a shipping company: type of car, transportation distance, and auto shipping option.

Type of car: Size, weight, value, and condition dictates the company you choose to ship your vehicle. It is more expensive to ship big, weighty, costly, and inoperable automobiles than small, less expensive, and operable automobiles.

Transportation distance: A local shipping company is appropriate if you are looking at less than 500 miles. But if you are looking at 1000 miles or more, an experienced auto shipping company with better equipment will do a better job.

Auto-shipping options: Different car transport companies offer different shipping options. A-1 Auto Transport, for instance, offers customers open transport, enclosed transport, door-to-door service, and terminal-to-terminal service.

• Enclosed transport- It is an auto shipping option that ships cars using a container or a fully covered truck. If you are worried about exposing your car to the outside environment, enclosed transport is appropriate.
• Open transport - your car is transported using an open carrier truck in this option. It is cheaper and more available than enclosed transport. Also, the open transport option ships more cars in one trip.
• Door-to-door service – in This shipping option, the car transport company picks and delivers your car to your desired location. If you are working under an overly tight schedule, the door-to-door service will enable you to continue with your activities uninterrupted as your car is shipped.
• Terminal-to-terminal service - For this option, you will drive and pick up your car at a designated location, in most cases the shipping company terminus. It is much cheaper compared to the door-to-door service.

Step 2 Research and Explore

Once you fully understand your needs, it's time to find a company that suits them. When you search for auto transport companies offering shipping services to Farmers Branch, you will find a long list of companies, all promising the best services. However, not all these companies can do what they claim to do.

Here are essential things to consider when compiling a list of potential auto carrier companies:

Website outlook: A reputable shipping company should have a well-designed website with all relevant information clearly indicated. Look out for features such as customer reviews, free quotes, and contact information on the website.

Reputation: What the auto carrier company says about themselves is important but what matters most is what their customers think about them. You can look at the customer review section of a company to know what their customers say about their services. Alternatively, you can use their social media platforms. A-1 Auto Transport has a customer review feature that allows customers to give their opinion at the end of the shipping process.

Insurance: Ensure the company you are about to hire to ship your car has an up-to-date insurance cover. Read through all the insurance clauses to ensure your shipment is fully protected throughout the shipping process.

Customer care: When you have inquiries, you need a company that is ready to pick up your calls or respond to your emails promptly. Stay away from an auto carrier that takes too long to pick up your call or does not answer your questions satisfactorily.

Step 3 Request A Quote

Most established auto shipping companies have a free quote feature on their website where you can fill and get the shipping cost. The free quote form on the A-1 Auto Transport website requires you to provide your location, destination, type of car, and preferred shipping option. Ensure the information you provide in the free quote is accurate to avoid getting the wrong shipping cost.

Avoid companies that charge exorbitant prices but also be on the look for shippers that offer unreasonably low prices. Always ask the company representative if there is a possibility of the shipping cost changing in the future.

Step 4 Pick A Suitable Company

You should have one or two shipping companies on your list at this stage. Speak with the customer representative of each of them and ask as many questions as possible. If you are satisfied, you can deposit the payment following the company's directives.

Step 5 Preparing Your Car for Shipping

Not all shipping companies will guide you on what you have to do to prepare your car for shipping. It is crucial to hand over a vehicle in good working condition. Take your car to your mechanic for the liquid levels, battery condition, undercarriage leakages, and tires to be checked before handing it over to the auto carrier company.

It is also vital that you put together all the paperwork, including proof of payment and documents that show the car belongs to you. Finally, empty the car of any unnecessary luggage to reduce the weight
