Terryville Auto Transport Pricing & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

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

A Better Way to Move Your Vehicle

One of the first decisions you must make is whether to go for the door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal service. Particular circumstances require one option over the other. For instance, the door-to-door service is best for you if you cannot spare time to go to a shipping terminus. But if you have time and would love to save a few hundred dollars, the terminal-to-terminal service will work for you. Before making the final decision, it’s important to take a closer look at both options.

Door-to-Door Service

It is a service where your vehicle is picked from your location of choice and delivered to your desired destination. This means you will not have to take time driving your automobile to a shipping terminus or picking it up at the end of the shipping process.

The pickup or drop-off locations can be your home, office, or any other place you feel is convenient. However, the pickup and drop-off locations must be accessible to the carrier truck ferrying your vehicle. You can hand over and receive the car yourself or send someone to do it on your behalf. Because of the extra mileage and time spent, this service is slightly more expensive than the terminal-to-terminal service

Terminal-to-Terminal Service

For this option, the auto transport company picks vehicles from one terminus and transports them to another. Most transporters have terminuses positioned across all major cities in the country.

The terminal-to-terminal service is an excellent shipping solution if you have time and would love to save a few dollars. Plus, the timelines are not as tight as the door-to-door service. You can drop off or pick up your vehicle on your own time as long as it is within the timeframe provided by the carrier company.

Open-Air vs. Enclosed Auto Transport

Choosing between door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal service is another critical decision you have to make when shipping a car. Perhaps you are wondering which one suits your needs best. Here is a close look at these two transport options:

Open Transport

While on the road, you most likely have encountered uncovered trucks filled with automobiles. Open transport is the most affordable auto transport method. About 80% of customers prefer open transport over the enclosed option. It is an effective option as long as you don’t mind exposing your vehicle to the outside environment during shipping.

Pros

• Highly affordable
• Easily available
• Can ship many automobiles

Cons

• Exposes the shipment to the outside environment

Enclosed Transport

As the name suggests, your vehicle is transported on a fully covered auto carrier truck. Unlike open transport, you will not have to worry about exposing your vehicle to harsh weather conditions, road debris or prying eyes. Because of the increased safety measures, the enclosed carrier truck can transport fewer vehicles. It is also why it costs up to 60% more than open transport.

Pros

• Increased security
• Doesn’t expose cars to road debris and harsh weather

Cons

• Not easily available
• Longer shipping timeframe
• Expensive

Preparing The Vehicle for Shipping

When you book a slot with a particular transporter, a pickup date will be set. We advise you don’t sit back and wait for the auto shipping company to pick up your car. You should do the following before the shipping date to smoothen the process:

Wash The Car

Thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of your car and inspect it for any existing damages. It is easier to identify any new damages on a sparkling clean car than on a vehicle covered with dirt. The auto transport company is responsible for any damages to your car during shipping. We advise you to take all-around pictures of your car to act as proof at the end of the shipping process.

Service Maintenance

Most transporters do not accept cars with aggressive undercarriage leakages and flat tires. Take your vehicle to a mechanic to check it for leakages and to ensure all the engine fluids are at the right levels. For an inoperable vehicle, ensure that all parts are well joined and won’t come off during shipping.

Disable The Alarm System

You don’t want to receive endless calls from the carrier driver asking for instructions to disable the alarm in your car. The shipment will be subjected to slight movements that could ignite the alarm system in your vehicle.
