Who Drives My Car During Auto Shipping?

Posted on July 20, 2010 by Cat

Auto shipping can be a daunting service to use if you are worried about who will be driving your car during the moving process. To put your mind at ease, I will describe my own experience when I had to move my car and this was one of my concerns.

My car is a 1966 Mustang which belonged to my father and has much sentimental value. When I had to move my car for work, I unfortunately didnt have the time to drive myself and so hired the services of an auto shipping company. My main concern was that damage would occur to my vehicle.

I was advised of the different types of auto shipping, on a car transport truck, driving or on an enclosed hot rod. I chose to move my car on a car transport truck. When the auto shipping truck arrived to collect my car, I was surprised to find that no driving was required. The car was winched onto the trailer with the other cars being moved. The driver told me that no one would drive my car unless it needed to be held at a storage yard. This made me so glad that I chose this option to move my car.

At the destination, I my car was rolled off the auto transport trailer and into the street. I couldnt have been happier with the whole experience that happened when I needed to move my car, and I would certainly use an auto shipping company in the future.

Do Auto Transport Companies Collect from A Different Location?

Posted on July 13, 2010 by Cat

One common question that arises with regards to auto transport companies is whether customers can leave the car some place convenient so that it can be picked up. Of course, this question has lots of different implications regarding moving a car, so lets look into it in a bit more detail.

Auto transport companies will generally have a few different options for collection of your vehicle. Some will offer a door to door service, meaning that they will collect at your house and deliver to a specified address, a service that is often the most expensive on offer.

Depending on your area, some auto transport businesses will have a delivery depot for when you a moving a car, which is much like a car rental office in that you will drop your vehicle off and leave it to be loaded onto the truck at a later time.

A third option that some auto transport businesses have is that they will ask you to go to a central location when you are moving a car. In general, this situation occurs when you are not near a depot, and the auto transport business will pick somewhere safe and near a highway to collect your vehicle.

In general, in all these situations, you will be required to be with your vehicle until it is handed over to an auto transport company representative. This is because when you are moving a car, the company will complete an inspection report prior to the service beginning. Once this step is completed, you are free to go on your way and meet your car at its destination.

Is My Presence Necessary for Car Delivery?

Posted on July 10, 2010 by Cat

When you are using a car transport company to relocate your vehicle, you may wonder whether you need to be there for pickup and car delivery. Here we aim to put together some answers to these questions about car transport.

When you are talking to car transport businesses, you will find that many of them run on a tight schedule and that they will specify a time of just a few hours when they will collect your car. Of course, depending on your schedule, this may or may not be a convenient time. It is important to know that when you are arranging any type of pickup or car delivery, it is necessary for someone to be available to pass the keys to the car transport driver and also to complete the inspection report.

If you are not available for car delivery, discuss with you car transport company whether it is possible to use a friend or neighbor to meet the car transport driver. Most businesses will advise you that they are happy with this arrangement, but you need to be sure that the person you have available is reliable or you may miss your collection time.

In short, a car transport company will not be able to pick up your car unless there is someone there for them to meet. Because of insurances, you cannot simply hide your keys and expect the car delivery to go ahead without the proper inspections being undertaken. If you have any questions, talk to your car transport company who will be happy to help.

Posted on July 04, 2010 by Cat

Car transport is a service that many people leave until the last minute. Often, moving a vehicle is an afterthought as people are used to driving their car when it needs to be relocated. But the truth is that if you plan your car transport needs as far in advance as possible, you may be able to take advantage of some great deals that make moving a vehicle with a car transport company far cheaper than driving yourself.

Auto transport may not be the first service you think of in an emergency situation but it certainly can be useful if you are having problems relocating a vehicle. My experience with auto transport began because I had a slipped disk while on a driving vacation hundreds of miles away from home.

Unfortunately relocating a vehicle was not a priority for my medical insurance and while I could get home ok, without an auto transport solution my car would be stranded far from home. I am thankful to my sister in law who suggested that using an auto transport service would be the best solution.

She put me in touch with a local firm and I talked to them about relocating a vehicle. The auto transport company were very accommodating and couldnt have been more helpful in my situation. There was no way I could drive home, and my family couldnt make the journey alone.

My medical insurance arranged for us to fly back home, and the auto transport company took care of my car. I was really pleased with the speed that everything happened, and in fact, they even stored my car securely while the car transport truck arrived.

Using an auto transport company took all the stress out of my situation, and while relocating a vehicle may not be a typical emergency situation, when you are in need of this sort of service it is a godsend to know that auto transport companies are available to help you out.

Auto Transport Broker to Move My Car

Posted on May 10, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport services are heavily advertised in my area because I live by the beach and we have a seasonal population. So when I needed to move my car, I decided to call round some of these auto transport companies to get a quote to relocate my vehicle.

I was quite shocked by some of the prices that were quoted to move my car, and certainly some of these auto transport companies were charging double the price of others. Because I didnt have much experience in auto transport, I didnt know how much to expect to pay to move my car.

It was a friend that suggested I talked to an auto transport broker and I was very pleased that I did. What I found was that the auto transport broker was able to provide clear and concise quotes that detailed all that would be included to move my car. Whats more, the prices from the auto transport broker were considerably lower than anything I had been given contacting auto transport companies direct.

In the end, I chose to use an auto transport company that I hadnt heard of, but they provided a top rate service to move my car, and were far lower priced than others I had spoken to. My whole auto transport experience went off without a hitch, and my car safely arrived at its destination in one piece. Im just thankful that I talked to an auto transport broker early on in my car moving experience.

Auto Transport to the Southern States

Posted on April 19, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport was the first thing that popped into my mind when I was being relocated to Dallas, Texas last year. My 1969 Camaro is a great little beast, but I knew to ship a car was a much better option that clocking up miles on my beautiful auto. Transport companies are of course rife, so how do you choose the best auto transport service for you?

To ship a car from Boston to Dallas might sound like an easy task, but I soon learned that not all auto transport companies would operate on that route. Whats more, I was told that to ship a car at short notice was likely to cost me a lot of money. So I found a national auto transport broker online and arranged for them to provide me with quotes to ship a car when I needed.

I was surprised just how much money I saved by using an auto transport broker. It seemed that they had far more contacts to ship a car than I could find in any local advertising. Whats more, many of these auto transport businesses specialized in moves like mine, and would be able to ship a car within my timeframe.

Auto transport might seem quite daunting at first, but I found that the services of an auto transport broker were invaluable, as well as saving me a lot of money. Next time I need to ship a car, whether it is my beautiful Camaro or an everyday drive, I will certainly contact a professional auto transport broker.

I was amazed to find out that I could actually get lots of different car shipping quotes from just one place, and this was superb as it saved me a lot of time.

What I liked about getting multiple car shipping quotes was that I was able to create a spreadsheet so I could clearly see the services that would be included in the vehicle transport, as well as getting a good idea of the costs involved. I was quite surprised at just how varied car shipping quotes could be.

When I sat down and scrutinized the car shipping quotes I received, I decided to put emphasis on the quality of the service, which I thought was most important for my vehicle transport needs. I eventually settled on one firm, and called to arrange the car shipping for the time I needed.

Auto Transport Insurance is Important

Posted on March 31, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport has always been considered something that creates stress, but with accurate research and planning car shipment can be executed smoothly. Most auto transport providers provide insurance cover during car shipment and this gives you assurance about the safety of your vehicle. The insurance plan coverage would cover the charges for any repair needed because of auto transport damage. The protection amount differs between auto transport companies and so it’s very important that prior to hiring an auto transport enterprise, you find out what is included in car shipment insurance

The auto transport firms with a valid license would have proper insurance policies for car shipment. Auto transport insurance policies really are a failsafe if something goes wrong. Its always safer to take prevention steps rather than worrying about car shipment damages later.

To ensure that the auto transport firm you are using is providing you with good enough cover, you should get a quote for car shipment that includes details of the auto transport insurance. If you are at all unsure, you can check the validity of the auto transport company at the Better Business Bureau, or department of transport.

Most importantly, the auto transport insurance cover protection provided for your car shipment must insure the car against theft and other damages, which could occur while your vehicle is being moved. Ensure that the auto transport firm gives you with a copy of the car shipment insurance policy so you have the necessary details if anything should go wrong.

Choosing the Right International Auto Transport Firm

Posted on March 27, 2010 by Cat

It isn’t hard to pick out an international auto transport service that can ship your motor vehicle safely and cheaply. You just need to know what to look for when deciding on an international auto transport company.

The cost of shipping a car overseas may be substantial and the last thing you want is to be slammed with a huge bill without realizing it. Having time to prepare allows you to compare the various international auto transport quotes prior to deciding which one to select.

Some auto transport businesses could possibly use a combination of transport routes for shipping a car to your destination and might take far more time.
Also ask if they will ship your auto
motive door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal. Some auto transport companies will only deliver to terminals in major cities or ports and you’re expected to go there and pick up your car.
For shipping a car overseas, auto transport insurance can amount to a large sum. Most auto transport corporations offer a basic car shipping insurance plan package and some could possibly offer a greater premium for extra coverage depending on the logistics and value of shipping a car.

If possible, ask for references from previous users for shipping a car with the auto transport firm. It is a very good method to determine their level of service. It is greater in my opinion to decide on a reliable international auto transport enterprise which may cost a little more but you get peace of mind that your automobile is in safe hands.

Using Car Shipping Brokers

Posted on March 11, 2010 by Cat

Car shipping brokers are often avoided by people, through promotion of outrageous deals, but there in actual fact using car shipping brokers can save you money. These businesses can offer you some of the very best deals available to move your vehicle.

Car shipping brokers are often middlemen between you the shipper and the actual vehicle transport carrier. They are providers who arrange to move your vehicle using the services of carriers who specialising in transporting automobiles. Car shipping brokers have a vast network of vehicle transport carriers and know which business is best to move your vehicle.

You might wonder why you should go through a car shipping broker and not deal directly with the auto transport carrier. The main reason is the availability and flexibility of service. Many car shipping carriers dont advertise their businesses to the general public, because their roots are in dealing with other business. Also, many car shipping companies operate on specific routes, and so it is easier to pull business from multiple car shipping brokers to ensure a full load.

Since car shipping brokers are basically organisations in a competitive market, they’re willing to offer the most affordable rates. Many car shipping brokers will get preferential deals from auto moving companies to move your vehicle. Do be wary however, as some car shipping brokers that claim to offer lower shipping rates will actually trim down your shipping insurance coverage level also so it pays to carefully read through the car shipping quote.

Long Distance Auto Transport

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport was the last thing on my mind when I was told that my job was being relocated from Philadelphia to San Francisco for six months. I was so consumed with anxiety over the move that I didnt stop to even think about car delivery for my company car.

Luckily, when everything had settled down and I expressed my concerns about driving my company car over such a long distance, I was told that car delivery could be arranged through an auto transport company my business had previously used for company cars.

It was a huge relief to know that a car delivery company would take care of my auto transport and I wouldnt have to drive the whole journey.

When I called the auto transport company to arrange car delivery for my company car, they explained that the car would be collected from my home and delivered to my new rental property. I was quite surprised at just how easy the car delivery company made the whole process.

On the day of collection, the auto transport representative turned up and inspected my company car. He checked for damage and explained what he was doing ensured that I was properly insured.

My company car was loaded onto the auto transport truck and it trundled down the road. I next saw my company car when the car delivery people pulled into the driveway of my new home to unload my vehicle.

Prepare Your Vehicle for Car Moving

Posted on February 18, 2010 by Cat

Car moving is a service that most people are relatively unfamiliar with until they have the need for car transport services. Because of this, its very likely that you wont understand the best way to prepare your vehicle for car moving and so we have put together some handy tips that will ensure that your experience with a car transport company goes smoothly.

Firstly, and most importantly, is that car transport companies will not allow you to transport personal belongings in your vehicle during car moving. That means if you are relocating your home, you cannot use your vehicle as an additional removal truck by filling it with suitcases and furniture. There are two reasons for this, firstly car transport insurance does not cover personal belongings and secondly, the additional weight in your vehicle would lead the car transport company to use more fuel, which in turn would make your car moving service more expensive. So before your car transport company comes to collect your vehicle, you need to remove all your personal belongings from your car.

Secondly, its a good idea to have your vehicle cleaned before car moving. This is because when the car transport company representative comes to collect your vehicle, they will perform a pre-car transport inspection. By having a clean vehicle, it is easier for them to note any damage, so in the event that you need to make an insurance claim for an incident that occurred during car transport, it will be far easier to prove that the damage did not exist.

These are just a couple of tips on how to prepare your vehicle for car moving, talk to your car transport company if you have any more questions.

I was surprised how much the quotes from these auto transport companies varied. When I called back to clarify, I found out that some quoted only to move a car, while others included insurances and extras.

Many people overlook the services of a car transport company when they are making a non-permanent move, and in my case my initial thought was that driving my car to university would be the most economical and best way to make the move.

As it turned out, using a car transport company cost less than the fuel to drive the same distance, not to mention the peace of mind that my parents got from not having to worry about me making such a long drive.

I chose a local car moving company who were agents for a national car transport company and their price and service was unrivalled. Upon picking up my car, the agent from the car transport company thoroughly checked the vehicle and gave me an inspection report, as well as assuring me that the car moving process would make sure my car was at university on time.

At the end of my stay, I also opted to use a car moving company, this time to move to the city where I had been offered a great job. I plan on using the services of car transport companies whenever I need to relocate, and wouldnt hesitate to recommend them for other university students or graduates.

Auto Transport When Relocating to Florida

Posted on January 30, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport is a service that you can use when relocating to Florida. Its something that many people are doing nowadays, especially as they get older and the warmer climate promises a better lifestyle. But why do you need to use the services of a car transporter for your Florida move?

When you consider that people move to Florida from all over the USA, then you can understand that the journey can be a long one. In most instances you will hire a furniture removalist to relocate your belongings, and in the same way an auto transport company can help relocate your car.

There are many reasons why using an auto transport service is better than making the long drive to Florida. Firstly, there is the cost of fuel to consider. If you are driving long distances, it is often cheaper to use a bulk car carrier than pay for the fuel to relocate your car.

In addition, with many older people making the move to Florida, the drive is often simply too strenuous with time and distances, so using an auto transport service is preferable.

Of course, the other benefit of an auto transport company is that you dont have to worry about getting lost en-route, as you can simply fly to Florida in comfort and meet up with your car at your destination. The auto transport company will ensure that your vehicle arrives safely on their car carrier so you can start your new life in Florida without any worries.

Auto Movers Can Help Your Relocate Your Vehicle

Posted on January 11, 2010 by Toni

Auto movers are businesses that can help relocate your vehicle to a new destination in the same way that furniture movers can relocate the full contents of your house. But why should you use auto movers instead of just driving your vehicle yourself?

Well the primary reason that people use auto movers, or car shipping companies, is that the distance that they are relocating to is too far to drive. Some people dont have experience in long haul driving and so the thought of spending days behind the wheel can be quite overwhelming, so using auto movers is an easier option.

Time constraints are another reason for using auto movers. Even if you are only relocating a few hours away, driving your vehicle can take considerably longer than other forms of human transport. In addition, car transport companies can ease the logistical nightmare of relocation if you have more than one vehicle.

In recent times we have also seen a trend of people using auto movers because it is the cheapest option available to move their car. With rising gas prices and wear and tear to your vehicle to consider, using car shipping companies to move your car can cost considerably less than driving it yourself.

Lastly, auto movers are becoming popular because they simply take the hassle out of relocation. From picking up your car to delivering it to your new home, using car shipping companies is the easiest way to get your vehicle safely from A to B.

Should I Consider Transporting by Car Train?

Posted on January 10, 2010 by Cat

If you are moving a long distance, one thing you may have heard of is the possibility of moving your vehicle via car train. Car train is a service that is offered by the major rail network operator and can be a viable option for moving your vehicle if you are willing to do some of the work yourself.

The main problem with transporting your vehicle by car train is that you need to take it to the depot yourself and collect it at the other end. If course, this can lead to problems if the times for your personal transport conflict with the available times for the car train.

Another issue that many people have with using a car train is that they do not live, or are not moving to a location which is on the car train route. Of course, this can lead to many difficulties in getting your vehicle to the correct location.

If you are in this situation, you should opt for using a car shipping service instead of the car train. A car shipping service will have your vehicle collected and delivered to your chosen locations without any inconvenience to yourself. This is why many people use a car shipping service.

If you are worried about cost, you shouldnt be. Car shipping is far cheaper than you would expect and in many cases is comparable if not less than using the car train. Be sure to investigate what a car shipping service can do to ease your car transport situation.

Selecting an Auto Transport Company for Interstate Moves

Posted on January 05, 2010 by Cat

If you are moving interstate, you will probably have already arranged a furniture removalist to relocate all the belongings from your home. But what about your car? Many people opt for the long drive to their new home, not realizing that there is a much cheaper and easier option available using an auto transport company.

Many people will assume that auto transport companies are only for long haul relocations or international moves, but the truth is that there are many auto transport services that specialize in relocating vehicles on a domestic and interstate basis. This can be exactly what you need when you are moving your home.

But why use an auto transport company when you could just drive your car? Well firstly, many families have more than one vehicle to relocate. Also, if you are relocating more than a couple of hours drive, the cost of fuel and wear and tear on your vehicle can soon add up.

There is a stigma attached to auto transport companies that the service they offer is expensive, but in actual fact, it is often cheaper to move your vehicle this way than driving it.

When you consider the length of your drive and the time it will take you to get to your destination, not to mention passing over unfamiliar roads, you can see why more people are opting towards using an auto transport company for their relocation needs. Next time you are moving house, why not contact an auto transport company and see how they can help?

Car Transport Insurance

Posted on January 03, 2010 by Cat

If you are using a car transport service to relocate your vehicle its very important that you make sure you have the necessary insurance in place so that your vehicle is covered during its shipment.

Many people make the false assumption that moving a car is covered under their regular insurance, but the truth is that the majority of insurance policies only cover you while the vehicle is physically on the road, and that doesnt include when you are using a car transport service.

Some car transport companies will automatically provide you with a quote for insurance at the time you are looking to move your car, but others will only quote you for the physical car transport service and not the additional fees. For this reason, its very important that whenever you are getting quotes from car transport companies that you make sure that you fully understand what is included and what is not.

Of course, you may think that you dont need car transport insurance for moving a car, as the vehicle will be safe during the process. While the majority of the time this statement is true, the car transport company cannot guarantee what could happen on the road, from something as minor as a stone chip to your windscreen to more major issues such as a road traffic accident.

Like all insurance, car transport insurance simply guarantees you piece of mind when your vehicle is being relocated, so if the company you decide to use does not provide it in their quote, be sure that it is something that you ask for.

Costs Associated with Car Shipping

Posted on December 28, 2009 by Cat

Car shipping is a service that has grown in popularity over recent years, as people are looking for more convenience in their lives and are often seconded to new destinations with their jobs and family commitments. Its funny that while it is often second nature for people to employ furniture removal businesses to move the contents of their house, they often overlook the fact that a car shipping service is available for them to utilize.

Of course, there is also a misconception that car shipping is an expensive service to use and that it is far cheaper to relocate your vehicle of your own accord. Of course, the converse is now true with the rising costs of fuel and the wear and tear that you must consider when driving your vehicle over long distances.
Nestled In!
The cost of car shipping will always depend upon where your vehicle is being collected from and the destination that you wish to transfer to. A coast to coast move will generally be more expensive than a simple interstate transfer, although this can depend on where you are located.

Another factor is the vehicle that is performing the move. You will have a choice of an enclosed car transporter or a open multi vehicle trailer. The open trailers are cheaper than enclosed, but offer less protection from paint chips and road grime.

If you are unsure what car shipping solution is best for you, call the auto transport company who will be glad to offer you some friendly advice.

Ins and Outs of Auto Shipping

Posted on December 17, 2009 by Cat

There has been a boom in the number of auto shipping companies operating in recent years, due to an increasing demand for vehicle relocations as peoples day to day lives become more transient with work and family commitments. Unfortunately, what this means is that there has been an onset of unreliable auto shipping companies who will overcharge for a mediocre service.

Its good to understand that when it comes to long distance auto shipping there are generally two choices to be made, which involve using either an open sided car shipping trailer or an enclosed car carrier.

The Importance of Auto Shipping Insurance

Posted on December 01, 2009 by Cat

If you are using an auto shipping service to relocate your vehicle, then one of the most important points that you need to investigate is insurance. Car transport companies all operate differently, so when you are shopping around, be sure to check exactly what is included in the auto shipping quote and whether you are required to purchase additional insurance for the move.

The reason that auto shipping insurance is so important is that your vehicle will not be covered under your regular motor insurance cover during the move. Car transport companies are not liable for damages caused during the move, so insurance is imperative.

Of course, this doesnt mean that your car will become damaged during the auto shipping process, it simply means that should an incident occur, your will be fully covered for repair or replacement.

Another point to note is that in general, car transport companies and auto shipping insurance will not cover any personal effects left inside your vehicle. Reputable companies will recommend you remove personal items from your vehicle before the move.

When the auto shipping collection day occurs, make sure that you accompany the customer representative as they inspect your vehicle, and ensure you receive a copy of the inspection report. Many car transport companies neglect to provide their customer with this service, but it is essential in the event of any damage.

Lastly, auto shipping insurance will give you peace of mind that should anything occur while your vehicle is on the road, you wont be left with a huge bill and distaste for car transport companies.

Auto Shipping is a Safer Option than Towing

Posted on November 20, 2009 by Toni

There is currently a trend whereby many people who are moving house, especially those moving interstate are opting to tow their vehicle behind their rented furniture truck rather than use a specialized auto shipping company. Unfortunately, there are many dangers associated with this form of car delivery.
You should investigate using a professional auto transport company for your car delivery needs.
Firstly, if you are planning not to use an auto shipping company, you need to know that driving a truck is very different to driving a car. On top of this, towing a car delivery behind the truck dramatically changes how the vehicle handles. This is why there are so many incidents occurring when people use this method instead of auto shipping.

The weight of furniture trucks can also cause problems for your car delivery. Large trucks move much more slowly than cars, and often other drivers become focused on the car rather than the truck and will make dangerous maneuvers which can result in damage to your vehicle. You also need to consider that the furniture truck will throw up debris which can damage your vehicle during car delivery.

This is why you should investigate using a professional auto transport company for your car delivery needs. You will in fact be surprised just how cheap relocating your car using this method can be. Auto transport companies are efficient and cost effective, and your vehicle is at far less risk of damage.

Before opting for a method of car delivery, be sure to investigate using an auto transport company and see why their service is the most effective form of car move available.

Domestic and International Auto Transport

Posted on November 18, 2009 by Toni

Perhaps one of the biggest considerations for auto transport on an international scale is taking customs regulations into account. These regulations will of course vary depending upon the destination country, so its best to use the services of a specialized auto transport company who can guide you as to exactly the requirements for your car move.

Of course domestic car moves are a different case, while there is no extensive paperwork required, moving a car interstate can be a relatively complex process. For this reason, you can engage the services of an auto transport company who will be able to transport your vehicle on a car carrier, which will significantly lower the cost of your move.

The most important feature that you need to ensure is included in your auto transport service, whether international or domestic is that you have the correct insurance. Reputable carriers will insure your vehicle for the correct replacement value meaning that if any incident occurs during the car move, you will be able to have your vehicle repaired or replaced.

Of course there are many different auto transport companies operating in your area, and it is wise to get a quote for the service you plan on using and receive an estimate of the time the car move is expected to take. Whatever service best meets your needs, taking time to research the best auto transport company for your needs will take all the effort out of successfully relocating your vehicle.

Car Shipping Costs

Posted on November 16, 2009 by Toni

Car shipping is a service that many people will have heard of but most will shy away from using as they have heard that car shipping is an expensive service that they will not be able to afford.

In actual fact, quite the converse is true. Car shipping is an extremely cost effective method of moving your vehicle from one place to another, and often will cost less than driving the vehicle from the origin to the destination by yourself. The reason for this is that car shipping companies will place your vehicle on a car transporter with multiple other cars, which means they can keep the costs of the service to a minimum. Of course, car transporters are commonly associated with long distance moves, but there are car shipping companies that use car transporters in local and state wide moves.

To ascertain whether the cost of car shipping will save you money, you should consider firstly the cost of the fuel that will be required for the move, and also the cost of wear and tear on your vehicle, especially if driving any kind of distance. Of course, lastly you need to think of the cost of your own time to drive the vehicle, this is often where people find that car shipping is a much more economical service as they save a lot of time that can be more effectively used.

Contact your local car shipping company to enquire about the cost of using a car transporter to relocate your vehicle and you will be able to see whether it is a cost effective solution for you.

So using an auto transport company for car moves is the best way to ensure that your car will safely arrive at its destination.

Firstly, you will need to investigate the cost of the auto transport, the type of service you will receive and if your vehicle has any special needs. For example, if you need auto transport for a classic car, you may have more stringent auto transport requirements.

Many people have the common misconception that the only form of car moves available is via open multi-vehicle trailers. It is true that this is generally the cheapest type of auto transport as numerous car moves are conducted simultaneously. The downside of this form of auto transport is that it is possible, although not a frequent occurrence, that your car may be damaged from debris.

Buying Classic Cars Online

Posted on September 02, 2009 by Toni

Classic cars come in a variety of conditions and are owned by people all over the country, buying the exact classic car you’ve been wanting can involve a challenging search followed by a number of decisions that need to be made in order to transport your car from its old home to its new one.

The internet is a fantastic resource for those who want to get involved in buying classic cars, since it allows current classic car owners to post images and details of their cars for viewing by as many people as possible, ultimately enabling them to resell the car to a buyer who might not otherwise have known about the sale. Buying classic cars online opens up the options available to the buyer, but it comes with its own set of challenges.

A big decision to make is whether to buy a classic car in running order, or if you’d prefer to purchase a car which no longer runs for the enjoyment and experience of getting it moving again. If you decide to purchase a car in running order, then as tempting as the desire to bring it home might be, you should resist - unless your classic has been kept in ideal conditions by its previous owner, it’s advisable to get it home and have a good look at its condition before you subject it to long distance journeys.

We would advise using a professional car shipping company to move your car from the site where it is purchased to its new home. Whether you take a trip to visit and inspect your car before purchasing it or not, by hiring car transport professionals you’ll be able to have confidence that your classic car is being treated well on its journey, and feel secure about maintaining its condition from the time you purchase it through to its eventual arrival at your location.

When transporting a classic car you have purchased online, it’s important to have clear documentation of the car’s condition; including photographs and written statements a digital camera can be a great resource for gathering photos of your classic car, since you can instantly take a number of images and save them for later use. Digital photographs are easily distributable should an insurance claim arrive, and cameras are cheap enough that if you don’t own one already, purchasing a basic model for documentation use should be a priority.

After conducting a pickup inspection with the representative from your auto transport company, you can return home with the knowledge that your vehicle is being well looked after during its journey.

Once your new classic car has made its trip, you will meet again with the representative from the auto transport company and conduct another inspection of your car. You will be able to take this opportunity to look for dings and scratches in the paint, dents in the body, and other issues which may not be readily available. After this inspection is complete, you can sign the paperwork and enjoy your new classic car!

To get your car started on its journey to your home, fill out the short form above and get your free quotes now!
