Great Methods To Select A Car Shipping Company
When moving, persons often think of the household goods, but what about the cars. Unless you are willing to drive those cars cross country in the move, you are going to need to find a car shipping company.
The internet is a great tool for finding car shipping companies. You can go directly to the company's website to as for a quote or you can find a broker's website that will give you five to ten quotes for the move. You need to be sure that all information given on the website is accurate and entered correctly. Automatic quotes are only as good as the information that you give and are normally for unmodified cars that are operable. If your vehicle has been modified or is inoperable, expect to pay more for the shipping.
Be cautious about the lowest price, especially if it is significantly lower. Some brokers will give a low ball quote without a carrier to fulfill it to get your business. Unless a carrier agrees to the quote, your vehicle will not be moved, so you end up paying more for the move than some of the middle of the road quotes would have cost in the first place.
Use resources such as the internet, friends and co-workers and the Better Business Bureau to check out any company you are considering hiring to move your vehicle.
If you are dealing with a broker, be sure that he is bonded. The carrier you use should be insured and licensed.
Once you have done your research, you are ready to book the order. Make sure that the company sends you a confirmation by e-mail or fax. Read everything regarding the move that is sent by the company before signing contracts. Remember that when you order using the internet, the e-signature is just as binding as your actual signature.
You will need to prepare your vehicle for the transport. That will include removing personal or valuable items from the car. Do not pack things that need to be moved in the car as they are not allowed. The gas tank should be below 1/4 tank. This lowers the weight of the load the truck must pull and increased the fuel efficiency. If you wash your vehicle before pickup so that its condition can be seen when picked up.
The carrier will make an inspection of your vehicle when they pick it up. They will make a note of any damage to the vehicle and ask for your signature on the form. You should be given a copy of the form at this time. Keep this form until you get your vehicle back.
Once your vehicle has been delivered, you will perform an inspection to be sure that it is in the same condition as when it was picked up. Take your time with this inspection, because once you have signed this form, you will not be able to make any further claims about damage to the vehicle. If there are additional damages, the carrier needs to sign the form and you need to get a copy of the form. - 21392
