Deciding On The Perfect Auto Transport Company

Whether you are moving across the country, have just bought a car from someone living far away, or are selling a car of your own, you'll need a reliable auto transport company to make that difficult move from one place to another. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you search for that perfect company.

When you ask around for quotes, make sure you are aware of all the costs involved in each estimate. For instance, some companies will require a deposit, some charge extra for pickup from your home, etc. Knowing these different features will help you find the most advantageous quote out there. Furthermore, do not quickly assume that a bigger company will be more accessible to your place of pick-up or your destination.

While some smaller companies might not have as many stations, if they just happen to be located nearby, they might be able to offer a considerably cheaper price.. It is also a good idea to take a careful inventory of the condition of your car before it is picked up. This is already a standard procedure for most auto transport companies out there, but making a personal inventory of your vehicle is smart, just in case. This can involve both a written description or list of current problem areas and photographs of your car. You will also have to decide whether you want your car shipped in a covered or uncovered carrier. A covered carrier will obviously eliminate the possibilities of debris or rocks hitting the car while on the road, but it is also more expensive for that very reason.

A car that has already suffered its share of dings and dents is probably fine in an uncovered carrier. Most companies do include insurance policies on the cars they move, though. Having arranged the pick-up and transport, make sure that their pick-up policy fits your needs as well. If you need delivery right to your door, make sure that they are willing and able to do so. Or make sure you have a plan for arriving at their waiting station to pick-up the vehicle. Along with these considerations, it is perhaps most important to find an honest, reliable auto transport company.

With each company, ask for references from their latest clients or check their ranking on the Better Business Bureau. Taking the time to look into these issues and making these preparations can help make your car transport an easy, smooth ride.
