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

Step 1: Find the Right Transporter

Relocating a car to a location thousands of miles away can be daunting. The only way you can ensure your automobile arrives at Littlefield safely is by hiring an experienced transporter with a proven track record. This is why research is important before committing to a hauler company.

Take a keen look at what previous customers say about the transporter. A good company should have 4/5 Google ratings and an "A" rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Other important things to check in a shipping company are insurance coverage, services offered, and shipping rates.

Once you have two or three potential shippers, use the contacts provided on their website to reach them. They should be friendly and have a wide knowledge of the shipping process from start to end. Plus, they should not take too long to answer your questions.

Here are examples of questions to ask the shipping company representative:

How long will it take to ship my car to Littlefield?

What safety measures are taken to ensure my car is safe throughout the shipping process?

What happens if my car is damaged during shipping? (A reputable transporter should have an insurance policy covering damages ranging from 50,000 USD to 1 million USD).

Is there a chance of the initial shipping cost increasing?

Note: You should only move to the next stage if all your questions are answered satisfactorily.

Step 2: Select A Shipping Method

There are different methods a car shipping company can use in different shipment stages. The methods depend on the type of car/condition of your car, budget, and how fast you want your car shipped.

Some shipping options include door-to-door, terminal-to-terminal, open-air, and enclosed carriers.

Door-to-door service: The hauling company will pick up your car and deliver it to your desired location. It is the safest and the most convenient way of shipping a car. However, you will pay more because the carrier truck will use more fuel and time to ship your car.

Terminal-to-terminal service: You will be required to drive your car to a pickup location and pick it up at the shipping company's terminus near your destination. This option is cheaper than the door-to-door option.

Open-air carrier: These are fully open, mostly double-layered trailers. Most customers prefer the open-air carriers because they are cheaper, readily available, and can ship more cars. Its only challenge is that your car is exposed to road debris and harsh weather conditions.

Enclosed carriers: It is one of the most secure ways of shipping a car and is mostly used to ship luxury, expensive or delicate automobiles. Enclosed carrier trucks use fully covered trucks to facilitate cars.

Step 3: Request A Quote

Visit the website of the company you have chosen and request a quote for your shipment. The amount you get will depend on parameters like type of car, transportation distance, and auto shipping option. Ensure the information you enter into the quote form is accurate to avoid changes in the shipping cost.

If you feel the amount on the quote is too high, don't hesitate to call the customer care representative for specialized assistance. Some companies provide a window for negotiations and could adjust their rates slightly to suit your budget.

Step 4: Schedule the Shipment

When you have a quote at hand, go to the website of the hauler company and make your payment. Alternatively, call their representative to help you out in the booking process. You must have all the information about your vehicle to complete the booking process.

Most transporters allow credit and debit card payments. Choose a payment method that is available and verifiable. Once the payment has been processed, the shipping company will contact you with a date and time you should expect your car to be picked up and dropped off. You should expect a notice two or three days before the provided dates.

Step 5: Prepare the Shipment for Shipping

Once the shipping process is done, sitting down and waiting for the pickup date is not enough. There are things you can do to make your vehicle 'perfect' for shipping. By doing this, you will avoid delays or unnecessary calls from the shipping company.

You ought to do the following before handing over your car to the shipping company;

• Thoroughly wash the interior and exterior of your car
• Remove valuables and all unnecessary items
• Have your driver's license and registration to verify you're the owner of the car
• Disable the alarm
• Leave the gas tank of your car ¼ full to reduce weight
• Take the car for service maintenance

Step 6: Complete the Process

Depending on your arrangement with the shipping company, you should prepare your car at least a day before turnover time. Cross-check your documents and inspect your car when you meet the shipping company representative. You can also take a few pictures to avoid doubts about its condition at the end of the shipping process.

You will get a notification informing you of the arrival of your car at the agreed destination. You must sign a few forms to confirm you made all the payments and that your car is in good condition.

If you notice any new damages or changes in the condition of your car, raise the issue before driving it away. Once you have proof that the damages occurred during shipping, the insurance cover provided by the shipping company should get your car fixed.
