When relocating, transporting a car all on your own can be quite a challenge. Therefore, it is better if you hand over the responsibility to professionals like auto transport companies. They offer specialized and customized services for moving your vehicle. With the help of car transport carriers, you are ensured that your prized vehicle reaches the final destination in the perfect condition and to your utmost satisfaction. Although, they charge you fees, it is worthwhile to hire their services as their state-of-the-art car transport carriers enable a safe and speedy relocation of your car.
Here is a guide that will ensure that the entire relocation process is smooth:
1. Before the vehicle is loaded onto the car transport carrier, you must be present at the time of inspection performed by the auto shipper to validate the status and condition of the vehicle. Both parties, at the point of origin, as well as the destination, must sign the bill of lading.
2. Ensure that all your personal belongings are cleared from the car or else the auto shippers will be reluctant to proceed with the inspection. They cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss to these items.
3. In the best of your interest, it is advisable to short-list a few reputed auto shippers that are registered with the DOT (Department of Transportation). Ask for free quotes and compare their prices. Verify the potential company’s credentials regarding customer satisfaction, dispute settlement plans and coverage polices. Inform them of all the necessary details like the point of delivery, peak hours of traffic, traffic flow, model and vehicle type, mode and date of delivery and other factors that could otherwise add to your bill significantly. The time taken to ship your vehicle will be influenced by several factors; check on them.
4. If you choose the delivery of your vehicle on a guaranteed date and time, it will cost you more. However, if you do not choose the option of a guaranteed date of pick up, then you will given a time range of 3-5 days within which your vehicle will be picked up for shipment. Many times, the duration of the shipment is affected due to the difference in the pick up and delivery date, point of origin and destination, and climatic conditions. Though, some companies also guarantee a delivery date, it is not always possible due to the safety and inspections rules and regulations of the DOT.
5. Auto transport companies offer two alternatives for transporting your vehicle. You could either choose the door-to-door option or the terminal option. In the first service, the vehicle is picked up and delivered right to your doorstep. However, sometimes, it may not be possible to do so, like in a busy neighborhood. In that case you could arrange with the auto shipper to load your vehicle onto a car transport carrier at a designated place. Similarly, when it may not be possible for the car transport carrier to deliver the vehicle at your doorstep, you could ask them to deliver it at the most convenient terminal near your destination.
