Auto Auctions Transport: How Much Does Auto Auction Mall Shipping Cost

It is never cost-effective to ship a car directly from Auto Auction Mall to your garage. Due to the high expense of delivering your vehicle, you will most likely be discouraged from participating in the auction. The good news is that you can use your favorite mode of transportation. By doing so, you can significantly reduce the overall cost of your cargo.

In any case, hiring professionals is the best option because they have the necessary equipment and abilities to move your vehicle to its destination. You'll have three days to finish the shipping process after winning a bid at an automobile auction.

So, before you sign a purchase agreement with them, learn everything you can about controlling your vehicle's shipping procedure and how much it will cost in advance to ensure pickup within three days. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about shipping a vehicle bought from Auto Auction Mall.

How Much Does It Cost to Move Your Vehicle from Auto Auction

Comparing alternative delivery choices is one of the most crucial steps in determining the potential cost of your transaction. Don't just go with the lowest choice available. Quality should always take precedence over pricing.

Because they are salvaged, secondhand, or somewhat damaged, cars purchased at auctions require more maintenance than regular cars.

As a result, shipping costs for different types of vehicles will differ. Transporting auctioned autos will be more expensive, particularly if they require special attention and care.

The distance traveled from the auction location to the desired destination is a major factor in the total cost of car transportation. The higher the expense, the greater the distance traveled.

Bottom Line: How to Get the Best Price While Bidding and Hauling a Vehicle?

Because distance accounts for such a major portion of the total cost of motor transportation, it must be maintained to a minimum. In this case, selecting a car and bidding at a local auction company is the best alternative.

We understand that the car you want might not be available at the auction site closest to you. You'll need to figure out how much you'll have to pay in total in that case. Use our vehicle shipping cost calculator to figure out how much it will cost to ship a car at auction.

How Vehicle Hauling Works and How to Get Started with Us

The process of buying salvage title cars or regular clear title cars from Auto Auction Mall is pretty simple.

First, you choose the car that you want from the list of available cars. You attend a live auction or select the buy now button. If you win the bid or pay the asked-for buy-now price, you cover the necessary payments and then proceed to select your shipping process.

For that last step, we recommend working with a transportation company instead of the auto auction company. It will save you a lot of headaches.

How to Choose the Best Vehicle Moving Company

Examine the Ratings and Reviews

You may compare the pricing of several shipping providers once you've decided on the pickup and drop-off locations for your trip, as well as the overall distance traveled. Finding the cheapest alternative, on the other hand, does not guarantee that your vehicle will be transported safely and reliably. You should also look into the company's reputation and compare it to others.

Examine your license and experience.

The shipping company should have experience and valid licenses, such as an MC number registered with the FMCSA and a commercial driver's license for its drivers.

Time Constraints Must Be Recognized by the Company

Auto insurance auction firms set strict time limits, therefore the firm should be well-versed in them.

The business must have prior experience transporting auctioned vehicles.

The company should have past expertise with Southern shipping. If they've done it before, you can trust them to do it securely and reliably again.

Tips for Moving Purchased Vehicles

Now you know how to calculate the cost of shipping and how to select a good company, so for the most part, you are ready to go. To give you some extra help we’ll throw in some helpful tips to make your auction purchases even smoother:

  • Make sure you have completed all necessary preparations for shipping before finishing the purchase
  • Pay in full to be able to pick up the vehicle, in case you are having someone else pick it up.
  • Pick up the vehicle as soon as possible to avoid storage fees.

Conclusion

You shouldn't just go with the cheapest option available. You'll need the greatest service available because you're working with auctioned autos. If you want high-quality service at the lowest feasible price, call us at 1-888-230-9116.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
