Justin Auto Transport Pricing & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

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

Shipping vs. Driving

When you need to relocate a car to a new state, driving it yourself is the first option that would probably come to mind. After all, vehicles are purposely made to be driven! However, there are factors to consider before hitting the road with your car. They include:

Distance To Your Destination

The distance between your location and destination plays a key role in your decision. For instance, taking a long journey with your car to a far-end state is unrealistic. But driving the car is faster and cheaper if you move to a nearby town. Essentially, drive the car if the distance to your destination is less than 500 miles and hire a car transport company if the distance is more than 500 miles.

Budget

You don't have to overstretch your account when moving a car to a new location. Take your time to compare both moving options and choose one that suits your budget. If you already have a shipping company in mind, go to their website and fill out the free quote form with the correct information. To get the cost of driving, consider the fuel cost, food, car maintenance, and accommodation.

In most cases, the shipping cost will be slightly higher than the driving cost; however, long-distance driving is uncertain. You could end up spending more time and money on the road. On the other hand, shipping cost is certain, especially if the information you provide to the quote form is accurate.

Safety

If there is a notable number of attack and accident cases along the route to your destination, you should consider shipping your car over driving it. Established auto shipping companies have numerous safety measures to ensure your car arrives at your destination safely. Furthermore, carrier trucks that facilitate cars are huge and less susceptible to attacks than small cars.

Condition/Type of Car

Some cars are not built for long-distance driving, especially when the journey is continuous. For example, small and old cars may not be able to navigate long journeys without developing mechanical problems. Equally, you do not want to expose a luxury or expensive automobile to wear and tear associated with long-distance driving.

Car shipping companies have special equipment to use for loading and unloading inoperable cars.

Things You Need to Do When Shipping a Car

When shipping an automobile, there are things you need to do to smoothen the process and cut the cost. Even though the responsibility of ensuring your car arrives at the destination lies with the shipping company, there are things you need to do from your end to improve the process. Some of these things include:

Avoid Scams

Like any other field, the auto shipping industry is filled with scammers who exploit naive customers. A legitimate transporter should have USDOT and MC numbers. Check on Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's website to verify the legitimacy of these numbers. A legitimate transporter should also have a valid and up-to-date insurance cover. You must never pay anything to get your car repaired if your car is damaged during shipping.

Beware of unscrupulous transporters who entice you with low rates only to increase their prices once the shipping begins. Such transporters could also compromise the quality of their services to compensate for their low rates.

Ask The Shipping Company the Right Questions

It's not enough to trust a car transport company based on the information provided on their website. Ensure to ask the right questions when speaking with the shipping company representative. Seek clarifications on pricing, safety measures, services offered, and insurance coverage before making the final decision.

Speaking with a representative of the auto shipping company also gives you a chance to gauge their friendliness and honesty. Keep off shipping companies that do not have an active customer care team.

Clean And Inspect the Condition of Your Car

Clean your car thoroughly and note any scratches, cracks, or dents. You can do this yourself or hire a professional to inspect your car. If you notice any major mechanical problems, have them fixed before handing over the car to the shipping company. Look closely at the tailpipe, tires, engine fluid, and alarm.

With a sparkling clean car, you will easily notice any new dents or scratches at the end of the shipping process.

Prepare Your Vehicle for Shipping

Some of the things you need to do to ensure the shipping process is smooth and devoid of hitches include;

• Leave the gas tank a ¼ full - Weight is an important consideration when calculating shipping costs. You only need enough fuel to help during loading and unloading.
• Deactivate the alarm system
• Unload personal items from the car
• Put together all documentation
