Heathrow Car Shipping Company, FL

Safe And Reliable Auto Transport Services With A-1 Auto Transport

Heathrow is a beautiful suburban community in Central Florida. The area is privately gated and is located 38 miles from Daytona Beach and 19 miles from Orlando. It comprises approximately 2,200 homes, the Heathrow Business Centre, and the American Automobile Association (AAA) headquarters.

Relocating items to a new state or country is not something you can do singlehandedly. You need help from professionals who will ensure your items and car arrive at Heathrow safely and within good time. However, do not choose any transporter. Choose an experienced, reputable, affordable transporter with a proven track record.

Signs Of a Good Hauler Company

Finding the right transporter can be tedious, especially when it's your first time shipping a car. You will encounter hundreds of hauler companies, all promising nothing but the best service. Before you trust any, you need to research properly.

To help you choose the right transporter, here is a list of signs you can use to identify a trustworthy auto transport company:

Excellent Customer Reviews

Opinions of previous customers are one of the best ways to gauge an auto transport company. Most transporters have a customer review section, and a bigger portion of these reviews should be positive. A few dissatisfied customers are a sign that the reviews are not customized. You should see a mixture of positive and negative reviews, but the positive ones should outweigh the negative ones.

However, it is not enough to rely on the reviews on the website of the transporter. You must go further and check what the public thinks of the company on its social media handles. Also, check out their ratings on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website. The BBB rates companies based on complaints from customers and accident records.

They Shouldn't Rush You into Decisions

The competition for customers in the auto shipping industry is fierce! Auto transport companies know you have many options, and a small delay could convince you to sign a contract with a different company. They will often entice you with time-limited discounts or limited shipping slots to make rush decisions.

Low rates or discounts should never entice you to make rush decisions when selecting a company. A reputable transporter should never force customers to make rush decisions. If you feel pressured by a car transport company, feel free to hang up or leave.

Upfront Pricing and No Hidden Fees

Unscrupulous auto transport companies will offer extremely low rates only to increase their prices once you sign a contract with them. When reading through the customers' reviews and come across complaints of customers lamenting a huge increase in the shipping cost at the end of the shipping process, stay away from that company.

The shipping process is pretty similar, and its cost is standard. For in-country shipping, you will pay anything between $700 and $1300. You should be careful with companies that charge very higher or lower costs than this.

You should also have an issue with a transporter that asks for full payment at the start of the shipping process. Even though terms vary from one transporter to another, a good company should charge partial payment at the beginning and full payment at the end of the shipping process.

When evaluating the auto shipping cost, most companies will ask you to indicate the location and destination of your vehicle, the type and condition of your car and your preferred transport option (open or enclosed). If the information in the quote form is accurate, the quote and final shipping cost should not vary much.

Verifiable Insurance Cover

Auto transport companies have numerous safety measures to ensure your vehicle arrives at the destination in good shape. But things out of the control of the shipping company, like a hurricane, road debris, hail, snow etc., cause unexpected damages to your vehicle. The only way to ensure your automobile arrives at the destination in good shape is by hiring a fully covered auto transport company.

Ask the transporter for a copy of their insurance policy and read all the clauses. Some insurance companies insert damaging clauses into the insurance coverage to make it impossible for customers to receive full payment.

If you have any doubts regarding the insurance coverage provided by the hauler company, call the insurance company to verify.

A Clear Policy Regarding Delays

As mentioned earlier, things that are out of the shipping company's control could happen, like traffic jams, huge storms or accidents. In case these were to occur, the shipping company should have a clear policy regarding these events. Some companies have a refund policy as a consolation to customers. Regardless, the policy should come in writing.

Wrap up

Not all transporters you encounter online are good enough to ensure your car arrives at the destination in good shape. You need to go beyond looking at just shipping rates and information indicated on the website when selecting a transporter. The irreducible minimums for any auto transport company should be well-defined insurance cover, upfront pricing, a well-designed website, good standing with customers and an active customer care team.
