*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and what type of vehicle you are shipping.

Find a suitable shipping partner

Freeport is home to many automobile shipping firms, leaving you with a tall order of finding a note-worthy partner. Start by checking out each company’s certifications and credentials. Find out whether it is licensed insured and bonded. If it is a reliable company, this information will be readily available and not hidden within mountains of text.

After confirming their credentials, find out if the third party carriers they use are fully licensed and insured as stipulated by the law. Take it a notch higher and ask for the names of those third party carriers and carry out a background check.

Be sure to do this before you go around the web requesting quotations from every auto shipping website in Freeport. You are likely to fall prey to unscrupulous shipping companies that lure you with dirt cheap quotes only to find out they lack the necessary credentials.

Insurance cover

The standard practice among industry leaders is offering maritime insurance through an insurance firm they work with or their own in house program. A regular cover often offers up to 2% the value of your car. Be sure you understand exactly when the cover commences and when it ends. Some only cover damage sustained while in transit while others cater for damages obtained at the Ports.

If your pocket allows, go for the super cover seeing as it will gift you with peace of mind should any damage be accrued.
