Shipping
When you’re planning to ship a car to Galveston, you need to 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 enclosed carrier. An open carrier will cost less and is essentially going to help get the car delivered quicker than when using 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 more time for delivery, but they are excellent choices for classic, antique and luxury cars. Enclosed carriers are occasionally climate controlled and they offer a secure, protected transport that open carriers do not offer.
- 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 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 deposit upfront for the service. The balance will be paid by you directly to the carrier. A carrier owns their own trucks and they can often schedule service faster as well as with a lower cost. If you don’t have the time to search for a carrier on your own, a broker can be very beneficial. If you have time, looking for a carrier on your own can save you time and help get your car delivered faster.
