1. Review multiple auto transport quotes This is the best way to find the cheap shipping that you are looking for because the quote allows you to evaluate car delivery services and rates. Don’t ever choose any company without first getting quotes paying a high amount of money at the end of the transport.
2. Hire a company with its own trucks - This is the big trucks that you see shipping up to 10 cars at a time. Shipping your vehicle this way will definitely help you save money. Not all shipping companies offer this so you have to be sure and ask about it up front before agreeing to hire any company.
3. Additional costs - Extra costs areimportant to ask about because many times the company won’t tell you about these unless you ask. The extra costs should be on the auto transport quotes you receive, but if they are not, then definitely find out about them because this means you will be paying more money for them. Extra costs could include: insurance, fuel surcharges, extra money for shipping to your new home and other things.
4. Door to door vs. terminal to terminal service - Ask the shipping company about their charges for door to door shipping and terminal to terminal shipping. The door to door will be more expensive, but worth it if you are willing to pay the higher price. If you are looking for cheap then you want to go with their terminal to terminal option because this is definitely the least expensive since you will pickup from and deliver your vehicle to the company.
5. Proper insurance coverage - One last thing that you have to do is to find out about insurance. It may cost you a little extra money up front, but it is definitely a necessity. If something happens to your car during transport and the company doesn’t have insurance, then you can be sure this will end up costing you quite a bit of money. Always check about insurance before hiring any company.
