WHO HANDLES IT?
AUTO TRANSPORT COMPANIES
They own and operate the trucks that carry your car, offering a direct connection and potentially more control over the process.
AUTO TRANSPORT BROKERS
They act as matchmakers, connecting you with the best transport companies for your needs.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PARTNER
-
Research and Compare: Don’t settle for the first company you find. Compare quotes, read reviews, and check for licensing and insurance.
-
Know Your Needs: Consider distance, budget, car type, and desired services (e.g., enclosed transport, door-to-door delivery).
-
Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to clarify anything about the process, costs, and insurance coverage.
UNDERSTANDING COSTS
-
Distance is King: Longer journeys typically cost more. East Coast–West Coast routes are often more expensive due to high demand.
-
Open vs. Enclosed: Open transport is cheaper, but enclosed offers better protection for valuable or delicate vehicles.
-
Car Size and Weight: Heavier vehicles or those requiring special equipment can incur additional fees.
PREPARING YOUR CAR FOR THE JOURNEY
-
Give it a Clean Bill of Health: Wash your car inside and out, check fluid levels, and address any existing damage.
-
Pack it Light: Remove personal belongings and valuables.
-
Document Everything: Take detailed photos and videos of your car’s condition before shipping.
OPEN VS. ENCLOSED TRANSPORT
OPEN TRANSPORT
More affordable, but your car is exposed to weather and road debris.
ENCLOSED TRANSPORT
Offers superior protection for valuable, classic, or customized cars — but comes at a higher price.
