How Car Shipping Works

The Auto shipping process is pretty simple but can be confusing, especially when it's your first time shipping a car. Understanding how the process works is paramount to avoid making mistakes that could cost you a lot.

The first thing to do is to find a carrier company that meets your needs and requirements. Hundreds of companies offer auto shipping services, so you will always find one that offers the services you are looking for. However, do not just pick a company because it pops up first on your browser.

You must ensure the company has all the required licenses and has a good reputation among customers. Make a small list of potential companies and reach out to each of them by requesting a quote. When filling out the quote form, most shipping companies will require you to provide the following;

• The type/condition of the car
• Location and destination of the car
• Your preferred auto carrier option (open or enclosed transport)
• Timelines
• Contact information

From this information, the hauler company will come up with a quotation of how much you will pay to ship your car. Always provide accurate information to the quote form to avoid a huge disparity between the amount indicated on the quote and the final shipping cost.

Once you have a reasonable quote at hand, contact the shipping company and sign the necessary paperwork. They will give you a timeframe for the pickup and delivery dates and things you need to do to prepare your car for shipping. A shipping company representative will be sent to pick up your car on the agreed date.

Depending on the transportation distance, your car could take two to four weeks to arrive at the destination. However, you will get a notification of the arrival of your car two or three days early to help you make arrangements to pick it up from the agreed location. Be sure to inspect your car before driving it away. If the condition of your car is as expected, complete the remaining payment, if any, before driving your car away.

Auto Transport Cost

Without a doubt, the cost is an important consideration when shipping a car. Auto transport rates vary from one auto transport company to another. Therefore, get as many quotes as possible before settling on one company. Here is a list of factors that will determine how much you will pay to ship your vehicle to Fort Meade:

Auto carrier option: Shipping via open transport is cheaper than shipping via enclosed transport. While both options are safe, enclosed transport uses fully covered trucks and includes additional safety measures.

Size/weight of your vehicle: Bigger and heavier automobiles cost more to transport than smaller and lighter cars. Vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks occupy more space on the carrier than sedan cars.

Season: Peak season in auto shipping comes during summer and holidays, so you should expect higher rates in this period. The situation is different during winter; fewer people travel, so you should expect lower rates.

Transportation distance: Most companies charge $0.55 per mile for longer distances and $0.95 per mile for shorter distances. This difference is to prevent long-distance customers from paying exorbitant prices. Nevertheless, shipping a car for a long distance costs more than for a short distance.

Location: The location you want your car picked up or dropped off also impacts the overall shipping cost. You will pay less when the pickup and drop-off locations are within a major city or close to the highway. However, the shipping cost will be higher when the pickup and drop-off locations are rural.

Additional cost: The auto shipping company may charge extra costs like insurance coverage, expedited delivery, fuel, and door-to-door service. Ask the shipping company about any extra costs before signing the contract. However, any reputable company should have an explanation of any additional cost.

You have no reason to subject yourself to long-distance driving when you can hire professionals to move your car. Depending on the factors mentioned above, the amount you will pay to ship your car to Fort Meade range from $700 to $1200.
