How Auto Shipping Works

Step 1: Book A Shipment Online

Booking a slot with an auto-shipping company has been made very easy. Simply go to the official website of your auto shipping company of choice, request a quote and wait. The information you provide on the quote form will help the hauler company understand your needs. In most cases, the quote will ask you to provide the following;

• Location and destination of the car
• Vehicle type and condition
• Preferred transport option (open or enclosed)
• Pickup/delivery option (door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal service)
• Contact information

Always request quotes from multiple companies until you find one that suits your budget. The process and equipment used by most transporters do not vary much, so you should not expect a huge variation in price. Therefore, any transporter that charges way below or above others should raise eyebrows.

Once you are satisfied with a particular quote, you can go ahead and complete the booking process online. However, it is a good idea to speak with a shipping company's representative and inquire about their payment options, safety measures, insurance coverage and all other concerns you have in mind.

Step 2: Hand Over Your Car

After depositing the required payment, the shipping company will arrange the pickup date. They will also guide you on what you need to do to prepare your vehicle for shipping. Here is a highlight of what you need to do to prepare your vehicle for shipping;

• Take the car for service maintenance
• Thoroughly clean the car
• Unload all unnecessary items
• Leave the gas tank ¼ full
• Put together all documentation

On the pickup date, inspect the car with a shipping company's representative and note any pre-existing damages on the Bill of Lading and inspection report. Once all this process is done, your vehicle should be ready for shipping!

Regarding pickup and delivery, you can choose between door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal services. With the door-to-door service, your automobile is picked up and delivered to your doorstep. Alternatively, the terminal-to-terminal service will require you to deliver and pick up your vehicle from predetermined locations.

Step 3: Receive Your Vehicle at The Destination

Most transporters provide customers with regular updates on the shipping process. However, you can contact the shipping company anytime if you have an issue or need clarification while your car is in transit. Some transporters have trackers to help customers get real-time updates on the shipping process.

Ensure to be available on the pickup date to avoid delays or fines. You can assign someone you trust to pick up your car on your behalf, but they must carry the necessary documentation. Inspect the vehicle with the company's representative before you sign the Bill of Lading. If you notice any change in the condition of your vehicle, report the issue immediately to the representative. The shipping process is as simple as that!

Auto shipping Pricing Breakdown

The cost of shipping a car from one location to another varies depending on several factors. You could pay as low as $500 for shorter distances and high as $2500 for longer distances. Here are the factors that impact the auto shipping cost:

Type and condition of the car: Expensive and bigger automobiles cost more to transport than cheaper and smaller ones. Regarding condition, operable vehicles are cheaper to ship than inoperable vehicles.

Auto carrier option: Shipping with an open carrier truck costs up to 60% less than an enclosed carrier truck. Enclosed carriers have better safety measures and do not expose your vehicle to the outside environment during shipping. However, most customers prefer the open-air carrier method.

Distance: Shipping a car to a longer distance cost more than a shorter distance. The shipping company will use the pickup and drop-off locations indicated on the quote form to estimate the transportation distance. However, the shipping rate per mile is higher for longer distances than for shorter distances.

Season: Like any other business, auto shipping rates tend to be higher when the demand for shipping slots is high and lower when the demand is low. Occasionally, there are fewer travelers during winter than during summer.

Fill out the quote form on the website of your shipping company of choice to get a better idea of how much you will pay to ship your vehicle to Starke or any other destination. The quote form is free, and nobody should compel you to sign a contract just because you requested a quote.
