Auto Transport Companies
Some companies only travel specific routes and may not be able to deliver the vehicle to a specific street address. This is important to know when choosing between auto transport companies. When getting quotes, be sure to find out which companies have specific drop off locations and which ones can offer door to door service. You may have limited delivery options with certain providers. The most common services offered include terminal and door to door deliveries. Terminal service requires you to drop the vehicle off at a nearby terminal where it is loaded and shipped to another terminal near the drop off destination. Door to door may cost more, but provides more convenience as well. With this service your vehicle will be picked up and delivered at specific locations.
Another big consideration is how you want the car shipped. Companies that specialize in car transport offer three basic shipping methods. It can be hauled on an open or enclosed trailer. A vehicle hauled on an open trailer is safe from all hazards except weather conditions. This type of service is less expensive than the other types and is probably the most suitable if you are not concerned about rain or other precipitation. An enclosed trailer provides protection from every element but also costs more. This type of shipping is often used for classic cars or vehicles that cannot be exposed to the weather. If you are concerned about your vehicle being shipping on a trailer, another service often offered is door to door service. With this service, an employee of the company will pick up your car and drive it to the new location. Each service has its own pros and cons. Having an idea of what you need in an auto shipping provider beforehand will increase your chances of having a pleasant and rewarding experience
