How To Find a Reputable Car Shipping Company?

You don't have to move around from one office to another when searching for a transporter to move your car. Everything you need about auto shipping is on the internet.

The first thing to check is whether the hauler company you are dealing with is registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA). The FMCSA is an agency in the Department of Transportation that governs the auto shipping industry. Any legitimate transporter must have a seven-digit USDOT number and a six-digit Motor Carrier (MC) issued by the FMCSA.

Next is to check the reputation of the auto transport company. Sample customer comments on the website to get a feeling of their quality. You can also rely on third-party review websites like Transport Reviews, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Google. Numerous positive comments on any of these platforms signify a good transporter.

A reputable transporter must have a reliable and friendly customer care team ready to meet the needs or concerns of customers at any time of the day.

Here are other signs you can use to identify a good transporter:

• They provide a free and non-obligatory quote
• Customer reviews are displayed on the website
• They offer multiple transport options
• They are open to questions and scrutiny
• Their pricing is upfront, and they don't hide fees or costs.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car?

Auto shipping costs vary from one transporter to another. You probably have a budget in mind and want a transporter within your budget. Always request quotes from multiple companies before selecting one that suits your budget.

Essential factors that affect the shipping cost include transportation distance, type and condition of the car and transport option. Nonetheless, auto shipping costs for shorter distances range between $600 and $900 and over $1500 for longer distances.

Here is a breakdown of factors that affects the overall cost of shipping an automobile to River Ridge;

Transportation distance: The shipping cost is higher for longer distances than for shorter ones. However, the rate per mile is lower for longer distances than for shorter distances.

Type/condition of the automobile: It is cheaper to ship smaller, less expensive vehicles than bigger, costlier ones. Equally, inoperable vehicles will cost you more to ship than running automobiles.

Transport option: It is cheaper to ship a car with an open carrier than an enclosed carrier. The enclosed transport option includes additional safety measures and is suitable for shipping expensive, luxury or delicate automobiles.

Drop off/delivery option: The door-to-door service is way more convenient but will require you to pay a few hundred dollars more to use it than the terminal-to-terminal service. For the door-to-door service, your vehicle is picked from your location of choice and transported to your location. On the other hand, the terminal-to-terminal service will require you to drive the car to a predetermined location for shipping and pick it up once it arrives.

Season: Like most industries, auto shipping rates are dictated by the forces of demand and supply. A huge demand for shipping slots increases the shipping rates and vice versa. In this case, shipping prices are higher during summer than in winter.

Open Transport vs. Enclosed Transport

One of the most critical decisions when shipping a car is choosing between open and enclosed transport. Some auto transport companies specialize in one while others, like A-1 Auto Transport, offer both enclosed and open transport. The option you choose depends on your budget and the type of car you want to be moved.

The open transport option is convenient for shipping ordinary or used automobiles. For this option, your vehicle is shipped on an uncovered truck. Open carriers are cheaper, easily available and can ship more cars. Its only undoing is that your vehicle is exposed to harsh weather conditions, road debris and prying eyes. Luckily, you get full compensation for any damages that could occur to your vehicle during shipping.

On the other hand, enclosed carriers are convenient for shipping classic, vintage, luxury and expensive automobiles. For this option, the shipment is transported on a fully covered truck. You could pay up to 60% more than open transport, but your vehicle's security is top-notch. Because of the safety measures, an enclosed carrier truck can ship an average of four cars.

Before signing a contract, inform the auto carrier company of your preferred transport option. Otherwise, you could get a quote for an enclosed transport option when you are interested in shipping your vehicle on an open transport.
