Understanding the auto transport process
Most people who are shipping their car are doing are first timers. This means they usually have know idea what to expect or exactly how the auto transport process works.
We have written many posts previously to help you understand the transportation process as well as helpful money saving tips shipping your car.
We have broken how auto transport works in a nutshell. Keep in mind some transport brokers and carriers do have different payment requirements.
1. Choosing which company: After you have gotten a few quotes, many experts recommend comparing at east 3, select a transporter. Make sure al information is correct such as vehicle year, make and model as well as pick up location and destination. Its also very important to let the shipper know if the car is in running condition or not. This will save you hidden charges.
2. Once you have selected the company in most cases a broker will now find an auto carrier for your cars pick up location and based close to the date you would like it picked up. Its important to note you may have not paid any deposit up until this point. If not its most likely at this time the transport broker will require a deposit.
3. Your vehicle will be picked by the carrier on time if all goes well, weather, breakdowns or traffic could trigger delays.
4. The carrier will deliver your vehicle. Many times the remaining balance will be due in full unless other arrangements have been made or you have agreed to pay in full already or you have your car being shipped to a terminal in which you would not be required to be there. Its good idea to inspect your vehicle for any damages at delivery.
