Flat Car Load
A Quick Guide On Shipping Your Car
You can easily ship your car, if you do a little bit of research. The first thing that you have to do before relocating your car is to find a proper carrier. Decide on the type of service that will fit your needs. If you have limited budget, and want cheap service, then the best thing would to be hire someone to drive your car. If you don’t like this service, you can hire an auto transporter to move your car. Auto transporter provides two types of service – door to door and terminal to terminal. In door to door service, you will meet the truck driver at a nearby parking lot so that they have room to load and unload your car. With terminal to terminal you will often get a discounted rate for dropping off and picking up your car at large auto storing facility.
After deciding the type of service, you have to choose the type of truck or trailer that you want for moving your car. Enclosed trailers protect your car from various elements like weather etc. They often deliver your car quickly and are the most expensive. It’s the first class of auto shipping. Open trailers are available in two varieties – multi-car trailers and flat bed single car carriers. Multi car trailers are considered cheapest as they can carry three to twelve cars to the same location. Flat beds carry only one car at a time.
Now do a little bit of research on auto transport companies. Investigate each company properly and choose one that is best in terms of price and reliability. In addition, do look at your insurance coverage and that of auto carrier.
Prepare your car before transporting it. Wash your car properly and make a detailed written and photographic record of any chips, dings or previous image. Remove all the electronic items like DVD players or radios from car. In addition, run down your gas tank until it is 1/8-1/4 of tank so that you can save on the weight of the shipment.
It is very important to note that you turn your side mirrors in and also remove the antennae. Other items like fog lights or spoilers should be removed. At last, disarm your car alarm. Certain carriers may ask you to deposit nearly 10-20% of the cost while picking your car and the remaining amount can be paid at the time of delivery. Find out what form of payment do carrier accept, as most of them only accept cash or cashiers check. Upon delivery, if you notice any damages in your car, you can claim for damages from your insurance company and carriers – most often within 24 hours of receiving the vehicle. Before shipping your car, gather some knowledge about the company.
