How to ship and prepare your car for car transport?

Using auto transport service to transport your vehicle from one state to another may solve all your problems. If you drive the vehicle it may create huge problems and it may cost more when compared to auto transport. While transporting your vehicle, do check your vehicle. Checking your vehicle before transporting may solve most of your problems while receiving the vehicle.

Ship a car to another state:

Shipping a car to another state is easier just call local car carrier service. It may cost roughly $600 to $800 per vehicle to transport your vehicle through local car carrier. Before selecting an auto hauler try calling at least three of them to find out price quotes. Once you have found out required information, you can negotiate with them to see the discounts they can offer. Then decide the auto hauler whose services you wish to use. Before car shipping company comes to pick up the vehicle, make sure that you remove all the unwanted items from the car which could damage your vehicle while in transit. In addition, do empty the gas tank to make the car lighter and safe for transport.

Also fix the pickup and drop timings with the car shipping company. The timing and date provided by them is just an estimation and not accurate. Remember that someone should be present to receive the vehicle from the transport company. Keep the cell phone with you so that driver can get hold of you as he arrives to your location. He may call you to get some directions so that he can drop the vehicle to the place specified by you and he may need to meet you in person to release the vehicle. Once you have received your vehicle, do a thorough inspection of the car. Make sure it is free from damage. Turn on the car to make sure it is in working properly. Once you have done complete inspection of the car, driver may give you some paper to sign.

Prepare your car for auto transport

You can transport your car by truck, rail or ship in some cases. The preferred auto transport service method is door to door. Auto hauler may pick up the car on site and deliver it either at your door or if you have narrow streets they may call you and meet you in a parking lot close to you. Another cheap method to ship your vehicle is terminal to terminal. This type of service is less expensive. Auto hauler may pick the car from the terminal close to your house and deliver the car to the terminal close to your destination.

Before transporting your vehicle, make sure it is in working condition and fluids are not leaking. Check your tires inflation. Your car should have gas. Take photographs of the car so that you can keep a record of the damages in your car. Keeping a record may help you know what damages have occurred while transporting it and claim for damages from the company. Wash the car as damage is more visible when your car is clean. Turn off any alarms. If there are any personal items, do remove them.
