Saginaw Auto Transport Pricing & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

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

Using Vehicle Transport Companies

Brokers & Transporters - There are two main types of companies you’ll encounter when looking for an auto shipper: brokers and transporters. To put it simply, transporters (sometimes called auto carriers) are the ones that do the physical work of moving the vehicle, including pickup, hauling, and delivery. Brokers, on the other hand, arrange for shipments between customers and carriers, which is an important part of the transport industry. While some customers may find it preferable to deal directly with the carrier, in many cases a broker is necessary to find a transporter in your area. The practice is common enough in the car shipping business that some companies operate as both a broker and a carrier, taking the shipments that fit with their route schedule and finding other companies to move the vehicles that don’t.

Classic Cars - Most customers that have a classic or collector automobile shipped prefer the extra care and protection that comes with using an enclosed auto carrier. Standard auto transport typically involves the use of a large, multi-car carrier that is capable of moving several vehicles at once usually between 4 and 12 at a time. While this is a perfectly fine method for moving a car, multi-car carriers are open, rather than enclosed, leaving the vehicles exposed to road hazards and weather during the shipping process. Road incidents are rare and transport companies are required to carry cargo insurance to cover any damages, but it’s understandable that vintage, one-of-a-kind or high-value cars be transported with the extra level of discretion and safety that an enclosed carrier provides.

What To Ask - Before making any kind of payment, signing any contract or agreeing to any services, you should do some research about the companies you’re interested in working with. The easiest way to do this is by using their licensing information to look them up at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Company Snapshot website. Ask the shipper for their USDOT#, MC# or MX# and you can easily find information about company performance, safety records, customer complaints and more. It’s also a good way to see if a company is a carrier, a broker, or both. (Many auto shippers will list their licensing information on their website.) It’s a good idea to ask for proof of insurance as well carrying cargo and liability insurance is a federal requirement for auto carriers and it must be included in the price of your shipment.
