1. An auto shipping broker will save you money.
Brokers have large networks of pre-qualified carriers and are able
to negotiate lower rates to ship your car. Brokers will keep the cost of auto
shipping down by providing fair estimates based on current market conditions.
Carriers will also charge more when a broker is not involved.
Carriers will aim to make larger profits from their direct customers,
while accepting much less from shipping brokers.
2. A shipping broker will save you time.
A broker will do the work for you in finding a licensed and insured
carrier that is in your area at right time. Brokers have access to better
information. They can locate a carrier faster and save you the hassles of
searching in the wrong places. You no longer have to spend hours calling
around and researching each carrier to make sure they are reliable.
3. A
shipping broker can customize your auto transport. Brokers
will get your vehicle picked up faster, and on the dates that are most
convenient for you. Carriers have a limited number of trucks covering a
certain area, and may not be able to accommodate the pickup and delivery dates
you request. If you need to move a specialized vehicle, a broker will
have more options that match your needs having connections to over 30,000
carriers nationwide.
4. Shipping brokers offer more protection
and accountability. A shipping broker will take responsibly for
your car transport if the carrier fails to do so. Brokers are always on your
side. They also verify the driver’s credentials, licenses and insurance
coverage to make sure your shipping process goes as smoothly as possible.
If your vehicle is damaged while in transit, a broker will guide you in
filing a damage claim, and provide you will all
the necessary documentation to execute the claim.
5. Brokers
offer better customer support. A broker’s reputation depends
solely on their customer relationships. In turn, they offer more time and
attention to accommodate their customer’s needs. Brokers offer vehicle
tracking at any time during the transport and will remain your point of contact
if you encounter any problems. Most carriers are not set up to accept
customer support calls, and will not always return your emails promptly.
