car shipping sites

Not all car shipping sites are the same.  There are two main categories they fall into.  Actually companies and lead generating sites.  Part of the confusion for must customers looking to ship a car, is to find a legitimate company with a good reputation to ship their car.  As people go through the internet they generally aim to get 3-4 quotes for companies and then move compare their prices. 
Unfortunately, the internet has numerous sites which appear to be companies, but in actuality are then selling your contact information to 5-10 different companies.  This is something consumers are used to, comparing 5-7 prices on one site, an example of that would be cheap tickets.  The difference between the two is that if you go on cheap tickets comparing prices someone from a basement run home office isn’t going to be calling you telling you why they are better than another airline. 
 These lead generating sites often open the door for fly-by-night companies to arrive and quote out large amounts of quotes to people without taking the care to get them an accurate number, but just to see how much they can sell.  This is not always the case, but my advice would to be to stick with 4 or 5 quotes from sites on the internet where they are an actual company.  Where you can confirm their credentials and years in business BEFORE giving away your email and cell number. 
As always we have car shipping tips on our site which would be helpful for anyone looking for the service so they can make an educated choice.  Of course, we are not the only reputable companies, there are many, but it is important you do that homework before selecting which car shipping company you want.
