Whether you’re shipping your vehicle across the country or across boundaries, you need to hire a good and reliable vehicle transport service provider. Making the right choice won’t just save you money. It can also reduce the hassles of delayed shipments, accidents and uncovered damages. Here are some of the things that you need to do when searching around for a vehicle transport service provider:
  • Go for an Experienced Company with Positive Reviews.Availing of the services of the first car shipping company you see when you search on the internet or the yellow pages is a big no-no. You need to compare different car shipping companies before choosing one to ensure you get the best services. The company’s ability to provide you with excellent services and timely delivery would often reflect on reviews you will find online so see to it that you compare different car shipping providers by reading reviews left by their past customers online. It is also better to do business with an experienced shipping company with years of operation in the industry. Make sure that you also ask for details about the terms of shipment and the services provided. If you are shipping an expensive vintage car, for instance, you would want to hire a shipping company that can transport your car in a closed trailer to minimize damage during transport.
  • Ask for Quotes.Shipping vehicles can be expensive so make sure to allot some time comparing rates of different vehicle transport companies. You can go directly to the shipper’s website to generate a car transport quote but the price you would get is often an estimate so it will be a good idea to call the company so you can be provided with more accurate pricing. Remember that choosing the cheapest rate may not always be the best idea because the cheap price may not include fees for services that come standard with other companies such as door-to-door shipping and insurance coverage for your vehicle while it is in transit.
  • Choose a Licensed, Bonded and Insured Vehicle Transport Company. Knowing that your vehicle is handled by a licensed and insured company can give you the assurance that your shipment is in good hands and that in case of damage or loss, your car gets covered. Although shipping your vehicle is relatively safe, accidents do happen so it will be to your best interest to scrutinize well the shipping company that you choose to do business with.
