Osprey Auto Transport Pricing & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

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

When Is the Best Time to Ship a Car?

We can not always choose when to move our vehicle. You might have a new job in a different state, or you may be moving from work to home for an emergency. These moves often occur, and we do not get to choose when they happen.

However, there are other moves, like going to college or moving to a new home, which we can plan for in advance, and you might be asking yourself when is the best time to move your automobile. Although car hauling companies can move your car any month of the year, there are seasons when auto shipping services are cheap and easy to get.

Hauling during Winter

Most shipping companies experience low turnout during the winter because of fewer activities and poor weather conditions. The demand for moving slots is low during this time, and transporters will lower their rates to entice customers.

If you are trying to reduce the delivery cost, you can ship your motorcar during winter. However, It is not advisable to ship your automobile during this period due to the high risk of accidents. Also, your motorcar will take longer to arrive at its destination because of the poor road conditions.

Moving during Fall

September, October, and November are probably the best months to ship your automobile. The weather is moderate, and not many people are moving. Due to the low demand for auto hauling services, auto shipping rates are low, and you will get quick services.

Hauling during the holiday season

A lot of activity happens during this period, affecting auto-moving. Most people want to be with their family during the holiday season; motorcar shipping company personnel are no exception. This leads to less staff and thus slow services. Also, because truckers are on holiday, few trucks are on the road, leading to high delivery rates. Whenever possible, avoid booking a hauling slot during the holiday season. But if you need your car moved during this period, book a moving slot before the season starts. This way, you will get better rates and proper service.

Things To Do During Drop-Off and Pick-Up

A vehicle is an expensive investment. Once you have selected your preferred shipping company, you can take measures to improve the overall hauling process during drop-off and pick-up.

Drop Off

Remove All Your Belongings from The Car: All your belongings that are not part of the automobile must be removed. These items can be stolen or damaged during transit, and you will not be compensated because the insurance cover is only liable to the motorcar. Also, additional items in the vehicle add unnecessary weight.

Confirm The Tire Pressure, Fluid Level, And Battery Condition: Ensure that the tires have the required pressure and do not deflate over time. Also, take your automobile to your trusted mechanic to check the fluids. To avoid scenarios where the car doesn't start after moving, ensure the battery is in good condition before handing it over.

Drain Your Fuel to A Lower Level: Your motorcar only needs fuel to be driven into and out of the carrier truck and to the nearest gas station at the destination. This is about 10 miles of fuel. Leaving the fuel at a lower level reduces the fire risk and avoids extra weight on the car.

Put Together All Paperwork: The hauler company must prove that you are the motorcar's rightful owner. During drop off, have your driving license, automobile registration documents, and your agreement with the shipping company with you.

Pick Up

The shipping company will contact you two or three days before your car arrives to prepare it for pick up. If you choose the door-to-door service, the carrier truck will deliver your vehicle to your doorstep. But if you select the terminal-to-terminal service, you must go to the hauling company's terminus near you to pick up your vehicle.

If someone else will pick up the automobile, inform the moving company before pick up. Share their identification and contact details with the company so they can use them for verification.

During pick-up, scrutinize your motorcar correctly to ensure that it arrived as it was loaded into the truck. If you notice any scratches or damage, inform the delivery representative immediately. The insurance provided by the hauling company covers all damages during shipping.

If your car is in good condition, sign the bill of lading and drive it away. It is good to leave reviews about the quality of service you have to help other people looking for auto shipping services.
