Best Door-To-Door Antique Automobiles Shipping Services

Shipping Antique Automobiles Door-To-Door

Any time you need a specialized service in the industry - and both door-to-door shipping and moving classic automobiles fall into this category - you must find a company with experience and a proven track record.

Most movers can move just about any type of car or small truck in the standard fashion aboard an open-air carrier. Door-to-door, especially when dealing with a classic auto, requires special care, as well as the requisite experience to know how to do the job safely and reliably from point to point.

Insurance For Classic Car

Insurance is included in the cost of moving and it’s sufficient to cover most damages. That said, when you’re moving an antique, it may make sense in some cases to get additional insurance. This is largely dependent on the value of the vehicle. If you have any concerns about the level of insurance when moving, make sure to go over your options with the company arranging hauling.

It’s also a good idea to contact your auto insurance carrier if you’re considering supplemental insurance. Some policies have an allowance that covers services.

Preparing For Door-To-Door Method

Preparing for delivery is a short and easy process with not too much required on the customer side. What is important, however, is making sure to focus on attention to detail when documenting its condition. This goes double for classic automobiles.

The first step is to clean it thoroughly, both inside and out. There should be no loose items in the vehicle and the outside should be clean enough to easily photograph and document its condition. If there are any scratches, dents, or dings on the body of the auto, it’s recommended that you document these. This makes it much easier to determine if anything occurred during the hauling.

Though non-running autos can still be moved, it adds to the cost. If possible, you’ll want to make sure it is in good running condition, has properly inflated tires and adequate fluid levels, as well as no leaks.

Finally, we’ll offer a piece of advice that is often more applicable to classic automobiles than their more modern counterparts. If there is anything unusual about starting or operating the auto, including simple things like opening and closing doors, or a quirk with the alarm system, it should be mentioned (preferably in writing) for both the company and the individual mover.
