High Dollar Car Transportation

High Dollar Car Transport

If you own a high-end, classic, or luxury car, then you probably have some apprehension about entrusting another party with the care and hauling. This is not an uncommon feeling, which is why we provide the highest attention to detail in providing the utmost care for our clients who are moving a high-value, truck, motorcycle, or SUV. We know how important your vehicle is to you and we take every measure possible to make sure you know how important your business is to us.

The Best Way To Move

Any type of luxury, exotic, classic, or one-of-a-kind needs to be moved in a particular way to make certain there is no risk of damage. Companies take every step possible to make sure that anyone they haul is not damaged, but there are additional services you can request to help safeguard against any possibility of damage. High-value cars are moved in an enclosed carrier almost without exception, and for good reason. Using it—think of a large box truck that completely covers it on all sides—is the best way (and industry standard) to ship with a higher value. Not only does an enclosed carrying keep it from being susceptible to things like rain, snow, dust, and wind, but it also provides a level of discretion that is simply not possible when using an open carrier on which all autos are visible.

Another benefit of using the enclosed method is that the carriers only allow for one, or sometimes two motorcars to be moved at once. Fewer ones being carried on the same limits the amount of exposure to things like fluid leaks from other cars on the same truck.

The other major component is door-to-door. There are two reasons door-to-door is so frequently used for luxury and exotic hauling. The first is that it’s convenient and owners that ship these types of vehicles tend to appreciate ease of use on their end of the service. The second is that it eliminates a step in the process that the owner would otherwise have to facilitate, which is to say picking it up from a terminal or depot. It then has to be hauled or driven to its ultimate destination, creating an unnecessary trip and the potential for damage during the process. The further the terminal from where it is headed, the more the potential risk. Having it dropped right at your specified location eliminates these potential risks.

Researching To Find The Right Mover

Finding the right agency to move a valuable car is more important than moving a standard vehicle. You’re entrusting a firm to move something that means a lot to you and is worth a lot, so it’s all the more important to make sure you find the right fit. This usually starts with a simple online search using websites like the Better Business Bureau and seeking out reviews from customers who have used the service. Other online review sites can be helpful as well, but you should take them with a grain of salt. Unlike other industries, customers rarely take the time to detail when an experience is great, but if they have a bad experience, they’re far more likely to share their story. Unfortunately, the blame sometimes gets misplaced in these instances, but it’s still important to look at these reviews, especially if there is a pattern of similarly bad experiences. For the best information available, including safety ratings, operating authority, and experience in the industry, we highly suggest consulting the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which is the authority that oversees enterprises.
