Using Gilbert Vehicle Transport Companies
When you are looking to book Gilbert car transport services, keep a few key tips in mind:
- Ask about possible methods of payment: When you drop your car off or pick it up, your vehicle transport company may have certain policies regarding methods of payment. You may only be able to utilize cash or credit cards, for instance, upon pick-up, whereas you may have other options when dropping off directly at the company’s brick-and-mortar operation.
- Get information on your driver: This is the person transporting what is arguably one of your biggest assets. So it stands to reason that you would want to know a bit about the person’s experience. Ask about background in transporting, how long the person has been with the company and any other pertinent information that you may deem necessary for booking transport.
- Open air shipping is the most affordable: In fact, you can save up to 60% with this type of shipping versus container or enclosed shipping options.

Such a result cannot be guaranteed with an open carrier. Only an enclosed truck, a container, or a plane can make it happen.
