Hauling

When you’re planning to ship a car to Galveston, you must decide on the type of transport you want and whether to use a broker or a carrier to schedule service.

• Open or Enclosed: There are two ways to ship a car. You can use an open carrier or an enclosed carrier. An open carrier will cost less and help get the vehicle delivered quicker than an enclosed carrier. The only drawback to an open carrier is that the vehicle will be exposed to weather and road debris during transport, as it would be if driven personally. This is, however, the perfect choice for cars that are driven frequently. Enclosed carriers will cost more than open carriers and may take a little longer to deliver, but they are excellent choices for classic, antique, and luxury cars. Enclosed carriers are occasionally climate-controlled, offering a secure, protected transport that open carriers do not provide.
• Broker or Carrier: When searching online, it is sometimes difficult to know whether a company is a broker or a carrier. A carrier will have a DOT number,r whereas a broker will not. Brokers can arrange for a carrier to move the car for you, and they will often require a non-refundable upfront deposit for the service. The balance will be paid by you directly to the carrier. A carrier owns its own trucks and can often schedule service faster and cheaper. If you don’t have the time to search for a carrier alone, a broker can be very beneficial. If you have time, looking for a carrier alone can save you time and help deliver your car faster.
