Fate Auto Transport Pricing & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and what type of vehicle you are shipping.

Hiring An Auto Transport Company

When choosing a mode of transport to move your car to a new location, distance, and type of car are the most important factors to consider. A distance less than 600 miles is a day's journey, and hiring an auto transport company is not cost-effective. For such a distance, you can drive the car yourself or hire an auto shipping company to do the job for you.

If the distance between your location and Fate is more than 1000 miles, hiring an auto shipping company is a good option. Subjecting your car to such a distance would lead to an unprecedented increase in mileage, leading to wear and tear. You will spend the little money you were trying to save repairing your car.

Apart from mileage, the reasons most people prefer shipping their car over driving include safety and time-wasting. You will also have to consider the cost of fuel, accommodation, food, car repair, and many other expenses you are likely to encounter on the road.

Auto Shipping

Auto Transport or car transport is moving vehicles from one location to another using specifically designed carrier trucks. It is most likely that you have encountered a carrier truck loaded with vehicles. The shipping process begins with a potential customer filling out the free quote form on the shipping company's website.

The information you will be asked to provide on the free quote depends on the shipping company. A-1 Auto Transport, for example, will ask for your location, destination, type of car, and auto shipping option. Ensure all the information you provide to the quote is accurate to avoid any future shipping cost changes. Note that the quote form is free and non-obligatory.

If you are satisfied with the cost, you can then go ahead and contact the shipping company. Any credible shipping company will have several contact options displayed on their website. You can send an email expressing your desire to hire the auto shipping company, but calling the company will give you a quick and more reliable response.

Open Transport vs. Enclosed Transport

Most auto transport companies offer customers the option of choosing between open transport and enclosed transport. While both shipping options will ensure your car arrives at your destination safely, they vary in many ways.

You have most likely encountered open carrier trucks on the road. Most open carrier trucks have two layers and can transport eight to ten cars, depending on their size. They are cheaper and easily available compared to the enclosed carrier trucks. The only major undoing of shipping your car using open carrier trucks is that your vehicle is exposed to harsh weather conditions, road debris, and prying eyes during transport.

Enclosed carrier trucks transport cars using containers or fully covered trucks. Such carrier trucks commonly transport expensive, luxury, sporty or delicate automobiles. Not many customers prefer the enclosed transport option because it is less available and expensive. You will pay more to use the enclosed carriers than open carriers. The enclosed carriers charge more because they transport fewer vehicles in one trip, and you can be sure that your car will not be exposed to the outside environment during transport.

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

Other auto shipping options are the door-to-door service and terminal-to-terminal service. The option you choose here will dictate how the auto carrier company picks and delivers your car.

You will choose a pickup and delivery location of choice for the door-to-door service. It could be your home, office or nearest town. It is the best choice for anyone who is an overly tight schedule. And since the auto carrier truck will spend more time and fuel to deliver the car to your doorstep, you will pay more to use this service.

The terminal-to-terminal service is quite cheaper but does not provide the kind of convenience the door-to-door service provides. The shipping company will guide you on where to deliver your car for transport and where to pick it up at the end of the process. Most carriers have terminuses where cars awaiting delivery and pick up are kept.
