Why should you use an
auto transport portal as oppose to one transport company's site?
well if you use a reliable
car moving portal you can receive 5 or 6 quotes in a one step process. This allows you to compare
auto movers and their rates as well as pick up and delivery times.
A word of caution, while good auto transport portals always should screen the companies insuring they are proper licensed by the government as required and check other
moving sources as to check out the quality of the
car shipping company it is always best before you sign the
bill of leiden to DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON THAT COMPANY.
Comparing Auto Transport Quotes
Most likely your moving a car or household goods and that's why you found our blog. Its always wise and recommended by the
BBB to always get at least 3 moving quotes from
moving companies and auto transport services. It is wise.
Now, what you should be aware of or know is that if the quotes fluctuate too much be cautious. Most of the time these companies should be within a reasonable price difference, depending on
your move. You should base your decision not only on price, but the services offered, trust and likabilty of the company and staff. Get references if needed and do your research. There are variable sources such as the BBB and other sources on the net, including ones already mentioned.
If your
moving quotes are too low chances are you may encounter problems with your
auto transport or move. If its too high be weary also. Remember you get what you pay for.
Moving Household Goods and Auto Shipping
So your
moving. Chances are you have a car to be transported to. So your question is can my mover
move my car as well or should I get another company to do it?
Its a good question. The answer is some
moving companies have the authority to move your automobile and others don't. If they have a personal goods license issued by the
fmcsa they can. If they only have a household goods license they cannot.
Its good to get a few
auto transport quote sites regardless as
auto shippers who specialize in auto transport can get it done sometimes cheaper and faster. This is good just in case you need your vehicle before your
household goods arrive.
WHILE MOST AUTOMOBILES CAN OPT FOR STANDARD
OPEN AUTO TRANSPORT THERE ARE SOMETIMES TIMES WHEN CERTAIN AUTOMOBILES NEED TRUCKS OR TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT.
WHEN A CAR HAS A VERY LOW PROFILE IT WILL REQUIRE A LIFTGATE
AUTO TRANSPORTER WHICH PREVENTS THE CAR FROM UNDERCARRIAGE OR SPOILER DAMAGE WHILE BEING DRIVEN UP A RAMP. IT WILL COST MORE FOR ENCLOSED TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT WITH
LIFTGATES BUT WELL WORTH IT.
TRUCKS, CARS AND SUV'S WITH OVERSIZED TIRES SOMETIMES WILL REQUIRE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT AS WELL BY THE TRANSPORTER.
Moving Company & Auto Transport Companies
When one is moving household items and cars sometimes it can get a bit hectic. While some
moving companies are licensed to move automobiles sometimes its best to let the mover move your household goods and the find an
auto transport company to move your vehicles.
The reason is that moving companies specialize in household items and ususally sub out or use a third party for your automobiles. If you need questions answered about your
car transport to where your vehicle is or about delivery and time frame it can get a bit confusing.
