Using San Mateo Vehicle Transport Companies

If you plan to use auto transport to or from San Mateo, there are some things you want to know:

• Learn the area before you go: Pinpoint where some of the most important services are prior to moving or taking the trip. This way you aren’t trying to search around on your GPS frantically once you arrive at your destination.
• Reduce levels for fluids in your car: This not only reduces the likelihood that an accident will occur in which something drips from your vehicle onto another but also makes the car lighter and shipping, therefore, less expensive. Most companies recommend going down to about a quarter level.
• Opt for door-to-door shipping for added convenience: This ensures that you don’t have to hunt down your vehicle at the nearest terminal, but you can instead enjoy the convenience that comes with having your vehicle delivered directly to your door. This might cost a bit extra, but if you are moving, you certainly don’t need any extra headaches.

Long Distance Auto Transport to/from San Mateo

To transport your car over long distances, a carrier is most often required. Of course, you can also drive the vehicle there, but it will gather mileage, internal damage, etc. Such a long trip can also be very exhausting for the driver, especially if you’re planning on taking your family with you.

Carriers are split into 2 main categories: enclosed and open. Most clients opt for an open truck, since the price is much lower. This is accomplished by carrying more than 10 automobiles at a time, so the price each client has to pay is reduced considerably. On the other hand, although enclosed carriers are safer and have a few extra features, because their carrying capacity is not as large, they are also more expensive to reserve.

Shipping Luxury and Classic Cars in San Mateo

You can ship automobiles of all kinds, including classic and luxury ones with an enclosed auto carrier. These are superior to open ones in that they defend their cargo from outside flying objects. They’re also a much safer alternative if you’re worried about theft.
