Auto Transport - Understanding the Car Shipping Process

Auto transport/auto shipping/car transport involves moving cars from one point to another using specially designed carrier trucks. These trucks are designed to hold cars in place even under intense pressure. Established car transport companies like A-1 auto transport own a fleet of carrier trucks that ship cars across the country.

When you need your car(s) shipped, you can visit the offices of an auto transport company near you or book a shipping slot online. And since you will not always find a carrier company near you, it's essential to learn how you can complete the process online.

Here is a step-by-step procedure of how you can complete the shipping process online:

Step 1: Pick the Right Company

When you begin the search for a company to move your vehicle to Lindale, you will find a long list of auto carrier companies, and choosing the right one is not easy. Come up with a list of five companies and compare them against their insurance policy, shipping rates and services offered.

A good car transport company should have a well-designed website with all the essential features indicated. If the company's insurance policy is enough to cover your car and the shipping rates are within your range, you can move to the next step.

Step 3: Call the Company

Use the contacts on the shipping company's website to ask any questions you have concerning their services. It's a red flag if the carrier company representative takes too long to pick up your call or is inconsistent with the information provided on their website. A reputable carrier should have friendly and receptive customer care representatives.

Step 4: Make Payment

Once you are done with the calls, you should have settled with a reasonable quote. Apart from shipping rates, confirm that the company you choose has the right insurance policy and licenses. If you are satisfied with their payment options, you can confirm your booking.

Credit and debit cards are the most acceptable payment options. A-1 Auto Transport allows for partial payment at the beginning and complete payment at the end of the shipping process.

Note: Ensure the payment method you use is verifiable to avoid any issues in the future.

Step 5: Prepare Your Car for Shipping

The next step is to prepare your vehicle for shipping. While waiting for the pickup date, not all auto carrier companies will guide you on the dos and don'ts.

During loading, your car will be driven into and out of the carrier truck. Therefore, any mechanical problems in your car could delay the process, and you could incur extra charges. Your mechanic should look at the following:

Undercarriage leakages: Some carrier companies reject vehicles with aggressive undercarriage leakages. This problem should be fixed before the shipping date to avoid any delays.

Battery: Ensure the battery of your car does not lose power. Your car will remain off on the carrier truck for days, and its battery could lose power making it difficult to unload.

Tires: Ensure all the tires, including the spare tire, are in good condition. A flat tire during transport could delay the process.

Fluid: Check the engine oil, washer, and brake fluids.

Alarm: An oversensitive alarm can be a nuisance to the carrier truck driver.

Once you are sure about the mechanical condition of your car, clean it and remove all unnecessary items from it. Shipping a car filled with personal items will increase the shipping cost because of increased weight.

Step 6: Hand Over and Pick Up Your Car

You can choose the door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal service for pick-up and delivery options. The shipping company will pick up and deliver your car to your location of choice if you choose the door-to-door option. In contrast, the terminal-to-terminal service requires you to deliver and pick up your car at the shipping company's terminal.

Before driving away your car, ensure to inspect it for any possible damages and raise any issues you have with the shipping company. If you are satisfied with the condition of your vehicle, pay the remaining amount and sign the delivery form to complete the process.

FAQS

Is There a Need to Fuel My Car When Shipping?

It's a requirement to leave your car with only ¼ full fuel. Gasoline is highly flammable, and filling the car with fuel poses a massive risk to vehicles in transit.

What Should I Consider When Picking a Company to Ship My Car?

Check their insurance policy, shipping rates, services offered, reputation, and website outlook. Also, check that the carrier company is duly registered and has all the necessary licenses.

Which Payment Option Is Most Used by Shipping Companies?

Most auto transport companies allow for credit and debit payments. Other payment options include e-wallet, invoice payment, and cash payments. Always choose a verifiable payment option.

Is It Important to Service a Car Before Shipping?

Mechanical problems could lead to delays because your car is driven during loading and unloading. Also, it could take time to find a reliable mechanic in the new neighborhood.

Can I Ship My Car with Personal Items During Shipping?

You should empty your car before handing it over to the shipping company. This will cut down the weight, which impacts the shipping cost directly. In the event of an accident, you will incur losses because the insurance cover provided by the shipping company does not cover additional items.
