Looking for an auto shipping company to move your car to Pinewood? A car is not like other household items that can be transported on an ordinary truck. It is delicate and expensive to repair, and even if you get it repaired after damage, it may never return to its original condition. This is why you need to be careful with the company you hire to relocate your car.

Overview Of the Car Transport Industry

The need to move a car(s) from one place to another is not a preserve of car dealers or companies. As long as you own a car, you may want it moved at some point. Driving is an option, but you cannot ignore challenges associated with long-distance driving like rogue drivers, harsh weather conditions, road jams, and accidents.

Auto-shipping is the only reasonable option when relocating a car to a distance of more than 500 miles. With this transport option, your car is loaded into a specially designed carrier truck and transported to your desired location.

Established auto transport companies offer vehicle shipping services statewide, nationwide, and globally. Most of these companies own a fleet of carrier trucks, while others are brokers who rely on third-party companies to offer auto shipping services.

The first thing to do when you need your car shipped is to request a quote on the transporter's website. If you agree with the quote, you can contact the shipping company to complete the process. On the agreed pickup date, the shipping company will pick up your car and transport it to your destination.

Major Components of Auto Shipping

Auto-shipping is a complex process, with several terms that may be difficult to understand, especially if it's your first time shipping a car. To help you make an informed decision, we will expound on some of the terms you're likely to encounter.

• Auto carriers: These trucks or trailers are used by shipping companies to transport cars. They are driven by two or three drivers that alternate throughout the journey. Auto carriers come in two forms; open air carriers and enclosed carriers. Open carrier trucks expose your car to the outside environment during shipping, while enclosed carriers use fully covered trucks.
• Brokers: These are the industry's middlemen. They own no truck or equipment related to car shipping. Their work is to connect customers with auto carrier companies that match their needs. They will handle the communication and payments but will leave the responsibility of shipping to others.
• Quote form: This is an online calculator used to estimate the shipping cost. The customer fills in the type of car to be shipped, location and destination, and preferred auto shipping option. A reputable transporter will not ask for any of your personal information on the quote form.
• Door-to-door delivery: It is an auto shipping option where the carrier company will pick up your car from your location of choice and transport it to your preferred destination. However, the pickup and delivery locations must be accessible to the carrier truck. The door-to-door service applies to customers with overly tight schedules.
• Terminal-to-terminal delivery: It is a cheaper alternative to the door-to-door service. With this option, you will have spare time to deliver and pick up your motor vehicle at a designated location. Before choosing this option, ensure that the shipping company's terminuses are safe.

Factors That Influence the Auto Shipping Cost

Perhaps you're wondering how the shipping company formulates the amount indicated on the quote form. Here is a list of factors that affect the shipping cost:

• Transportation distance: The distance from your car's location to its destination is one of the most important considerations when calculating the shipping cost. It is expensive to ship a car to a longer distance than a shorter distance because of the increased fuel consumption and time on the road.
• Season and time: You should book a car transport service as soon as possible. The closer the booking date to the shipping date, the higher the shipping cost. Also, the high demand for shipping slots increases the shipping rates during holidays and summer.
• Vehicle model or make: It's more expensive to ship a costly automobile because of the high insurance cost. Equally, huge and weighty cars are more costly to transport than light and small ones.
• Auto transport option: Open air transport carriers are less expensive than enclosed ones. This is because enclosed carriers ship fewer cars and provide additional protection to the shipment.
• Condition of the automobile: The shipping company will want to know if the car you're shipping is operable or inoperable. An inoperable automobile requires special equipment during loading and unloading, which is an additional expense. Most transporters only accept inoperable vehicles that can steer, roll and brake.
