*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and what type of vehicle you are shipping.

The Work of Auto Transport Companies

Auto transport or vehicle transport companies transport automobiles using specially designed carrier trucks from one point to another. A customer looking to relocate their car to a new location can contact an auto transport company directly or through a broker. Unlike car transport companies, brokers do not own trucks. Instead, they connect customers to auto carrier companies on commission.

Once you have identified a carrier company that meets your needs, the first thing to do is request a quote from them. A quote form is a form that gives potential customers how much they will pay to ship their car to their desired location when the relevant data is input. The quote form is free, and no shipping company should compel you to ship your car with them after filling out the quote form. The A-1 Auto Transport quote form will ask for the type of car, location, destination, and auto transport option.

If the quote is within your reach, you can go ahead and complete the booking online or contact the shipping company to get specialized assistance. Always check that the car shipping company is duly registered and has all the required licenses to offer car transport services.

Be Wary of Scams

Not all auto transport companies you find online are legit. Before you sign any contract with an auto shipping company, it is essential to check their reputation on credible websites like Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org.). Stay away from companies asking for your personal financial information. Although you can always report auto carrier companies that commit fraud, it's better to be safe than sorry.

A credible company like A-1 Auto Transport allows flexible and verifiable payment options. Our quote form is free and non-obligatory.

You may also want to check what previous customers think about the shipping company. Most companies have a platform that allows their customers to give their views about their services at the end of the shipping process. It's not wise to hire an auto carrier company with too many complaints from customers.

Common Payment Options

Before selecting a car shipping company, you should check that their payment options are verifiable. Most companies will allow you to deposit a percentage of the shipping cost at the beginning of the process and pay the full fee upfront.

Apart from credit or debit cards, other payment options provided by shipping companies include carrier checks, bank to bank transfers, and invoice payments depending on the company policies.

You need to understand that most car transport companies accept credit or debit card payments only for the initial payment. You will have to pay by cashier check or other payment options when your vehicle is delivered.

There are two main reasons shipping companies find it challenging to accept debit or credit cards at the end of the shipping process. The first is because they want to avoid any fraudulent claims. A rogue customer could open a dispute with their bank on a claim that they did not receive the services they paid for, and the money could be refunded to them.

Also, cash payments or cashier's checks help auto transport companies avoid processing fees ranging from 2% to 4%. The amount may appear insignificant, but when it is accrued from every customer, it will significantly impact their annual profits.

How To Cut Down the Shipping Cost

Some people opt to drive their car instead of shipping it because of the cost of hiring an auto carrier company. The initial cost indicated on the quote may scare you, but there are things you can do to reduce it.

Some of these things include:

• Ship multiple cars: A company like A-1 Auto Transport offer discounts to customers shipping more than one car. If you are a vehicle dealer or own more than one car, you should ship all your cars once. In doing this, you will reduce the cost and save time.
• Proper timing: Shipping rates fluctuate depending on demand. When the demand for shipping slots is high, you will pay more to ship your car than when the demand is low. In most cases, more car shipments are witnessed in the summertime compared to wintertime.
• Choose open-air transport: If you don't mind exposing your car to the outside environment during shipping, it's best to choose open transport over enclosed transport. This option is cheaper and can transport more vehicles in one trip.
• Be a regular customer: Shipping with one company regularly gives you a chance to benefit from loyalty discounts.
• Empty your car: Weight is a crucial consideration shipping companies use when calculating the auto transport cost. Remove all the unnecessary items from your vehicle to reduce weight and the risk of loss. Also, the insurance coverage provided during shipping does not include personal items.
