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

Auto Transport Broker

These are companies or individuals with access to a huge network of auto carrier companies. They do not own any trucks or handle direct shipping of vehicles. Their primary function is to act as the 'middleman' between carrier companies and the customers.

Brokers help customers find the best transporter based on their budget, vehicle type and shipping timeframe. Further, the customer could delegate the role of managing and coordinating the shipment to the broker.

When you begin searching for an auto transport company on Google, there is a high chance of finding a broker website before getting the actual auto carrier company. Brokers are great in online marketing. On the auto shipping broker's website, you will not find a quote form or essential information like customer reviews and services offered.

Auto Car Carrier Companies

Unlike brokers, auto carrier companies offer actual auto shipping services. They own trucks or a fleet of trucks spread across major towns in the country. Most of these companies have physical offices but operate mostly online. They have websites where customers can get all the information about their services, request a quote and book a car shipping slot.

At A-1 Auto Transport, for instance, we have made the shipping process as simple as possible. All you need to do is fill out our quote to start the auto-shipping process. Any reputable transporter must offer a free and non-obligatory quote to all customers. In addition, they should not ask for your financial information.

Once you are done with the booking, a shipping company representative will pick up your vehicle as agreed and deliver it to your location of choice. In another arrangement, you could be asked to deliver your vehicle at a terminus for shipping and pick it up once it arrives at the destination.

What Makes a Good Auto Carrier Company?

One of the biggest challenges most customers face is choosing the right transporter from a long list of companies online. Luckily, there are things you can look at to help you separate good transporters from others.

Here are some of the traits of a good transporter;

Numerous Positive Customer Reviews

Customers who have shipped with the transporter should have good things to say about the quality of their services. Apart from the customer reviews on the website, check out what customers say on social media platforms associated with the transporter and their rating on the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Numerous positive reviews and a few dissatisfied is a common phenomena. A transporter that responds to unhappy customers is a sign that they care.

Offer Multiple Services

A good transporter should offer a wide range of services. For instance, they should not restrict you from shipping with an open carrier when you are interested in shipping with enclosed transport. The open transport option is suitable for ordinary automobiles, while the enclosed transport is suitable for expensive or luxury automobiles.

The auto shipping company should offer door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal services regarding drop and pickup options. Never bend your needs or requirements to suit the services offered by the transporter.

Offer Competitive Rates

A reputable transporter should not exploit customers with unreasonably high rates. Most transporters charge between $600 and $2500 to offer auto shipping services within the country. Anything below or above this range should raise your eyebrows.

Auto shipping costs vary depending on transportation distance, type and condition of the car and auto carrier option. Before making the final decision, you should request quotes from multiple companies to get a rough idea of the auto shipping cost.

Comprehensive Insurance Policy

Damages in auto shipping are a rare occurrence but are a possibility during shipping. This is why you need a transport company with clear insurance coverage.

It is a requirement for all auto transport companies to offer comprehensive insurance coverage for the shipment. Always take your time to study the insurance policy before signing the contract with the auto transport company. Other companies insert damaging clauses into the insurance to prevent customers from receiving full compensation in case of damages.

Friendly Customer Care Agents

Lastly, they should have a friendly customer care team ready to attend to customers' needs 24/7. A toll-free number should be displayed clearly on the website. Speaking with the customer care agent before entrusting them with your car is a good idea.

Take Home

On paper, auto shipping brokers and car transport companies may appear to offer the same services but differ significantly. Always be sure who you are working with; otherwise, you could end up signing a contract with a broker while you are interested in working with an auto transport company. Better still, ask them whether they are a broker or an auto transport.
