The Auto Transport Process Explained

Perhaps you're new with shipping cars, and it's the first time your encounter words like auto transport, auto shipping, or car transport which typically mean the same. Auto transport is a process that facilitates car transportation from one point to another using an auto hauler.

Vehicles are loaded into specially designed trucks before being transported to their respective destinations. Even though cars are meant to be driven, here are reasons that could compel car owners to seek car shipping services.

Wear and tear – Any additional mileage increases the wear and tear on your car, and the only way to keep your car intact is by hiring an auto transport company. Your car is loaded into the carrier truck and transported to Gold River, so you should expect zero additional mileage at the end of the journey.

Time – Long distance driving can be adventurous and fun but takes away days or even weeks that would have been utilized in a better way. Hiring an auto transport company is realistic if you don't want to waste days or weeks on the road. Besides, the process of selecting the right company, booking and preparing your car for transport will not take more than a day.

Safety – The security challenge is common for long-distance driving, especially when you have to drive through thick forests, parks, or even deserted roads. Auto carrier trucks are huge and are less susceptible to damage during transport. Furthermore, they take specific safety measures like trackers, depress buttons, and regular updates on the auto transport progress.

Additional cost – Hiring an auto transport company may seem like a daunting process on paper. Still, when you add up the cost of fuel, accommodation, food, parking, and car maintenance, the cumulative costs could be more than that of hiring a car shipping company.

Shipping A Car

Successful car shipping involves a lot of planning and research. When you search for companies offering car shipping services to Gold River, you will get a long list of auto carriers. Every company you find will promise exceptional services, but only a few are good enough to keep their word. Here are simple steps to follow when choosing the most suitable auto transport company to ship your car to Gold River.

Step 1 – Understand Your Auto Transport Needs

It is easier for you to pick the right company to ship your car if you clearly understand how you would like your vehicle shipped. A-1 Auto Transport offers customers open-air transport, enclosed transport, door-to-door service and terminal-to-terminal services.

Open-air transport – This auto transport option facilitates cars using open carrier trucks and is the most commonly used. Its only issue is that your vehicle is exposed to the outside environment during shipping.

Enclosed auto transport – Just as the name suggests, your car is facilitated using an enclosed carrier truck or container. It is more expensive than open-air auto transport and can transport fewer vehicles. It is most suitable for transporting luxury, costly, and highly delicate automobiles.

Door-to-door service – If you want your car to be picked and delivered at your doorstep, the door-to-door service is a good choice for you. Although you will pay more to use this service, it definitely saves you time.

Terminal-to-terminal service – Here, you will have to spare time to deliver and pick up your car at the specified delivery location as directed by the auto shipping company. It is cheaper than the door-to-door service, but you risk paying additional storage costs if you do not pick up your car on time.

Step 2 – Research and Explore

Remember, you're handing over one of your most expensive possessions, and so you need an affordable company with a clean track record.

Reputation – Before trusting a company, look through the opinions of previous customers. A-1 Auto Transport has a section dedicated to comments from previous customers. You can also use social media pages associated with these companies to get the opinions of previous customers.

Customer care services – Unprecedented occurrences are common for car shipping. Always check if the auto transport company has reliable customer service agents. The only way to confirm this is by calling or sending a message to the contacts provided on the website.

Step 3 – Request Quotes

It is most likely that you have a budget in mind. Before settling on a company, request quotes from as many companies as possible. The perception that the most expensive companies offer the best services is untrue because you will not miss two or three reputable auto transport companies with reasonable rates. Aside from staying away from costly companies, beware of those that offer meager rates.

Step 4 – Speak to A Customer Care Agent

Once you have two or three potential quotes at hand, pick up your mobile phone and call them to get a clear picture of the company. Ask them if you should expect any additional cost after paying the initial shipping cost. Calling the auto shipping company also gives you a chance to gauge their honesty and friendliness.
