Steps To Follow When Transporting A Car

On paper, driving your car to a new neighborhood may sound easy, cheap, and convenient, but it's not always the case. You will have to deal with challenges like fatigue, rogue drivers, road jams, and harsh weather conditions. It is an even bigger challenge when multiple vehicles need to be moved. For these reasons, a professional auto transport company is your only reliable solution.

Once you have decided to ship your vehicle, the next step is to select an auto transport company. The worst thing you can do is to pick a transporter randomly. You must do proper research to ensure you choose an experienced and reputable auto transport company.

Here are four essential steps when shipping a car:

Step 1 – Identify the suitable transporter

You can use multiple resources to select the right carrier company to move your automobile. You can choose a shipper through referrals, searching online, or through an auto transport broker. Whatever method you choose, researching before you make a decision is key.

First, you must ensure the auto transport company you select is properly licensed, insured, and regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Check what previous customers say about the transporter and, most importantly, their rating on the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Once you have verified that the transport company is properly accredited and has a good reputation, the second thing is to check if they meet your needs. For instance, if you want your vehicle transported with an enclosed carrier, ensure the transport company you hire offers the service. The services to expect from most auto transport companies include open and enclosed service, door-to-door, and terminal-to-terminal service.

Even if you are impressed with a particular auto transport company, it's not wise to confirm your booking without speaking with their customer care representative. A reputable transporter must have a friendly and dynamic customer care team. It's a red flag when the transport company takes too long to receive your call or reply to your email.

Step 2 – Determine the auto-shipping cost

While looking for the best auto transport company in the market, you must be conscious of your budget. Luckily, you don't have to move from one office to another or make endless calls to compare auto transport costs for different companies. All you need to do is request a quote from your auto transport company of choice.

The information required on the quote varies from one transporter to another. At A-1 Auto Transport, you will be required to provide the following information:

• The location and destination of your vehicle
• Type, model, and condition of your vehicle
• Delivery option (door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal)
• Personal items (indicate if you have any personal items that need to be transported)

By providing this information, the auto transport company will understand your needs and estimate the auto transport cost. The quote's accuracy depends on the accuracy of the information you provide.

Step 3 – Confirm your booking

Once you find a quote that is within your budget and agree with the transport company's terms, confirm your booking. You will sign the contract and pay the auto transport cost as agreed. After that, the carrier company will schedule a pickup date.

If you choose the door-to-door service, the transport company will pick up your vehicle from your home and transport it to your location of choice. But if you choose the terminal-to-terminal service, you must spare a day or two to deliver and pick up your vehicle from predetermined locations.

It is almost impossible for the auto transport company to provide guaranteed pickup or drop dates because of the numerous uncertainties that go into the process. Most companies prefer giving an open timeframe of between five and ten days.

Step 4 – Pick up and drop off

The vehicle transport company will pick up your vehicle on the agreed date. You can do the handover yourself or designate someone to do the job on your behalf. Whatever the case, you need to sign the Bill of Lading after inspecting your vehicle with a representative of the carrier company.

As you did during the handover, inspect your car at the end of the shipping process, and if you notice any new damages, raise the issue immediately. The hauler company is responsible for any damages to your car during shipping.
