Car transport companies offer several options. The advent of online vehicle marketplaces like eBay Motors has increased the number of companies that transport cars, trucks, and motorbikes. In business, you need good service.

Decide whether you want your car sent open or enclosed. So what? Unguarded vehicles in transit are vulnerable to theft and stone damage. If the car isn’t particularly desired or an older model with minor defects, it may not matter. Moving an expensive sports car or historic vehicle enclosed is typically preferable. Covered car transport costs extra, so you must weigh the benefits.

Before hiring a transporter to move your car, ensure you know where they’ll pick up and drop off vehicles. Many transportation companies exclusively deliver or pick up in big cities. If so, you’ll need to work out how to send and pick up the car. Then, add this extra car shipping to your total.

Check the car for damage before delivering it. Most transportation companies produce an “Origin Inspection Report” to document the vehicle’s condition before shipping. Repeat this inspection once the car reaches its destination.

Learn about the transport company’s car insurance coverage. Inquire about transport-related coverage limits or deductibles.
