Relocating A Car
Most households in the US own an average of two cars. Depending on the number of cars you have, you can choose to drive one and hire people you can trust to drive the rest of the vehicles when relocating. However, long-distance driving is slowly losing popularity because of the many challenges that come with it.
The most common challenges associated with long-distance driving include:
- Safety
- Wear and tear on the vehicle
- Time wasting
- Too many uncertainties
- Harsh weather conditions
The other option you can use to relocate your car is hiring a professional car mover.
Auto transport or auto shipping companies help individual car owners or companies to relocate cars to different parts of the country and across the world. They use specially designed trucks that can ship up to 12 vehicles in one trip. Open carrier trucks can ship eight to twelve cars, while enclosed trucks can ship six to eight cars, depending on their sizes.
How Car Transport Companies Work
Customers looking to relocate their car(s) can reach out to car transport companies directly or through brokers. Brokers are individuals and companies that help to link up potential customers with shipping companies on a commission. When you go online, ensure you know whether you are dealing with a broker or a shipping company.
The first thing to do when you identify a potential shipping company is to fill out the free quote form. If you are impressed with their rates, you can call the customer care contacts provided on their website to inquire more about their services.
When speaking with the auto shipping company, be sure to ask about the following:
- License and registration status
- The insurance policy
- Services offered
- Payment options
- Safety measures
If you are satisfied with your conversation with the shipping company representative, you can confirm your booking by depositing the shipping cost. Be sure to keep proof of payments to avoid any problems at the end of the shipping process.
If you choose the door-to-door service, a shipping company representative will pick up and ship your car to your destination of choice. However, if you choose the terminal-to-terminal service, you will have to deliver and pick up your car at the shipping company's terminal.
Preparing A Car for Shipping
Picking the best company to ship your car does not solely guarantee successful transport. To avoid any hitches during transport, you have to prepare your vehicle for shipping.
Here is a checklist of things you are required to do before handing over your car to the shipping company:
- Service maintenance: This is applicable if the shipping car is operable. Whether your car is working well, it's advisable to ask your mechanic to do general service maintenance. Ask them to check if there is any undercarriage leakage, the battery condition, fluids level and tires.
- Clean the car: Identifying any dents or scratches that could have happened during transport is easier with a sparkling clean car.
- Empty the vehicle: Removing all the unnecessary items from your car could reduce the shipping cost significantly. Also, decluttering your car reduces the risk of loss since the insurance policy of most auto shipping companies only covers the vehicle.
- Put together all the paperwork: The auto shipping company will want proof that you are the rightful owner of the automobile in transit. Therefore, it's essential to put together the documentation to show the car you are shipping belongs to you. It is also vital that you have proof of payment of the shipping cost to the carrier company
- Leave the fuel tank of your car ¼ full: Most auto transport companies discourage customers from handing over cars filled with gas. This is done to reduce the risk of fire in case of an accident.

Why Do You Need to Speak with A Representative of The Shipping Before Signing Any Contract?
Speaking with the customer representative of the shipping company will give you a better understanding of what to expect from the auto shipping company. You will also get a chance to have your concerns answered.
Why Do You Need to Empty a Car Before Handing It Over to The Auto Transport Company?
