How to choose reliable Car Transporters
Im often asked "Im getting my car shipped, but I have heard horror stories about car shipping companies, how do I know the auto transporter Im choosing is a reliable company?"
Well, thankfully there are a few thing you can do to check the status of your auto transport company.
1. The federal government requires all auto transport brokers and carriers to have an MC number, and if they are a carrier a USDOT number. You can check the status herehttp://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/pkg_html.prc_limain. Using the scroll down located at the top right select carrier search. Enter your auto transporters info and you can view this in an html or adobe format. It will tell you if there insurance is up to date and if their authority status is in good standing.
2. Check with the BBB. While this is not a fullproof method, you can see if there is a long history of any unresolved complaints and if the car shipper has an "unsatisfactory record".
3. Make sure you get any guarantees in writing such as car pick up and delivery times, and refund policies.
