Auto transport services we offer

• Open carrier services: Open carriers are the most affordable means of shipping a car. They are long hauls fitted with flatbed racks. It’s among the simplest methods available too. The cars are loaded onto the flatbeds and secured in place using straps. No enveloping structure covers the cars during transportation. However, the safety of every car is 100% guaranteed. The open nature of such carriers is advantageous. They can accommodate larger autos like buses, motorhomes and even heavy equipment like bulldozers. Open carriers can also accommodate several vehicles, an advantage to multi-car shippers.
• Multi-car shipping: Both household and commercial clients that are interested in shipping more than one car get to save money thanks to our professional multi-car shipping services. Besides having an abundance of open carriers, we are well experienced in formulating delivery plans for shipping different cars to different destinations, using the same carrier. Auto dealers and other corporations are some of the clients that benefit most from this service.
• Enclosed carrier service: Unlike open carriers, enclosed ones come with an intermodal container in place of the flatbeds. The container provides protection to the cars against external elements that cause damage; elements like small pebbles, twigs and adverse weather conditions. The extra protection however comes at a price, making the enclosed method expensive for many. This method is however considered the best for shipping high-end vehicles whose expensive and flashy nature calls for privacy and extra protection.

Types of cars we ship

25 years of car shipping has gained us experience in shipping different types of automotive including trucks, vans, sedans, SUV, motorcycles, inoperable cars, salvaged cars, high-end cars, electric cars, golf carts, ATVs and heavy equipment.

How to get your car ready for transportation

• Have the car cleaned: A cleaner car is more appealing to the eye. Dirt and dust hide scratches and small dents, which could compromise on the reliability of a car hauler’s inspection report.
• Remove all personal items: Personal items including clothing, accessories and electronics can get lost during transportation. Also, unnecessary items in the trunk can add to the car’s weight. The heavier the car the more it costs to ship.
• Drain the gas tank: A car is best shipped with no more than a quarter-full gas tank. Gas adds to the weight of the car. You only require enough gas to cover the loading, offloading and parking of the car. There should be enough left to cover the distance to the next gas station available.
• Run a maintenance check: Look for any leaks in the car. Oil spillage could cost you quite a lot. Apart from mechanical failure, the oil may spill onto another vehicle, especially in the case where the car is on the top decker of an open carrier.
