Larchmont Auto Transport Pricing & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

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

Book Early

It's never too soon to book a slot with an auto transport company. Go ahead and book a slot as soon as you know about the relocation plans. Like other markets, auto shipping prices are dictated by the forces of demand and supply. Early booking will not only give you a chance to get good rates but also sufficient time to prepare your vehicle for shipping.

Auto-shipping is more than loading and unloading a vehicle to the carrier truck. Luckily, with a good carrier company, not much is required from your end. After you have booked a slot, the transporter will handle all the logistics of picking up your vehicle until delivering it to your desired destination.

Conduct Initial Research

To avoid costly mistakes, it's crucial you do proper research on car shipping. Customers always end up making wrong choices because they lack the required information. Luckily, a quick online search will provide you with all the information you may need in the auto shipping industry.

Pick a few potential transporters and compare them against customer reviews, services offered, insurance coverage and ratings with the Better Business Bureau. Fill in the free quote forms of the transporters that tick all these boxes. Remember that auto shipping costs for different companies should not vary much. Beware of any transporter that charges unreasonably high or low rates.

Prepare Your Vehicle

If shipping an operable automobile, ensure it's in good condition before the agreed pickup date. Inoperable vehicles must be able to roll, brake or steer to be eligible for shipping. While servicing your car, check fluid leakages, tires, and their undercarriage condition. Most importantly, you should indicate the accurate condition of your automobile to enable the shipping company put together the necessary equipment to facilitate the move.

Most car owners find it safe to keep valuable items like iPads, laptops, flash disks, and jewelry in their cars. We recommend you unload all these items before handing your car over. In the unlikely event that you lose your items during shipping, the transport company will not be held liable. Remember, the insurance coverage provided by the transporter only covers the vehicle.

It is a good practice to clean the car before handover. That way, you will easily identify any scratches, paint chips or dents during the inspection. Further, you probably don't want to drive a dirty car in a new neighborhood.

Be Flexible

Ordinarily, the pickup and delivery dates are always estimated. Auto carrier companies must deal with factors like traffic jams, weather conditions, diversions and more, which are not in their control. This is why it's important to be flexible regarding pickup or delivery dates.

Flexibility also applies to the auto shipping rates. You will get better rates if you work with the timelines of the transport company rather than giving them fixed timelines. And since auto shipping is generally slow, we advise you to book a slot with a reputable transporter at least one month before the shipping date. For emergencies, the transport company could arrange for expedited services, but it is much more expensive than working with the timelines of the transport company.

Be Thoughtful with Your Decisions

Every decision you make in auto shipping is critical. Understand the auto transport process and everything that goes into it. For starters, you will decide whether to ship your vehicle on an open or enclosed carrier truck. And for you to make this decision, you need to have a proper understanding of your vehicle. For instance, the type, model, year of manufacture and condition. You will indicate all this information in the quote form to enable the transporter to estimate the auto transport cost and understand your needs.

Understanding your shipping needs and communicating them clearly to the shipping company will ensure the process is hassle-free and seamless.
