Auto transport services have become a very viable solution for many people in today's world of ever increasing time constraints. There are many questions you may have about auto shipping. There are also some points to consider when choosing who to use for your car transport.

When do I need to make arrangements for my vehicle to be transported? There are many times that you can't make long term auto shipping arrangements. There are companies that allow for 24 hour vehicle pickup. However, you should try to book your service as soon as possible. This affords you the luxury of making all the needed arrangements for your vehicle pickup and delivery.

How do I know if a car transport service company is the right choice? There are places to look for information on potential companies. One of the places you can contact is Autoshipments com for reviews and verification for insurance and necessary bonds. Also, some companies will have websites with client lists. You can also determine by the structure of the company and the way they handle themselves on the phone. Do they offer free amenities such as door to door service? What is type of insurance do they offer? What sort of guarantees can they provide for pick-up and delivery? How long have they been in business? Always obtain multiple free auto transport quotes to make sure you are getting a competitive price. Remember, the cheapest price is typically not the best choice in this business.

What should I plan for on the scheduled date for pickup? Many auto transport companies will be able to have experienced coordinators help you with the details. Although there may be other things to consider besides the ones covered by them. Is the location your vehicle needs to be picked up from and dropped of to realistic for a car hauler to drop off or pick up your automobile? The safety of all involved, including your vehicle, should be of main concern. The driver will need plenty of room to secure your vehicle onto the transport trailer. Also be sure to have only a quarter tank of gas in your vehicle at most and do not pack belongings in your car or truck. There will be some paperwork that needs to be signed. If for any reason the vehicle you want picked up is not in a safe place, remember, it can be moved. It is a vehicle after all and not a piano or safe!

What if my vehicle is damaged during the transport? Most auto transport endeavors are trouble free, with your vehicle arriving at the destination without damage at the estimated time. However, a vehicle may become damaged, due to extenuating circumstances, in transit. If this should happen, obtain the driver's signature, note all damage on the inspection report or bill of lading, and contact your vehicle transport company for further assistance.
