Tip #2 - SHIPPING OPTIONS
To get an accurate quote and be able to compare quotes between companies, make sure you understand your shipping options and what your preferences are:
1. door-to-door vs. terminal-to-terminal - For door-to-door shipping, the car carrier picks-up your vehicle at your home or workplace and delivers your vehicle to your final destinat ion.
2. open or enclosed - Open transport is the less expensive and most common way to ship a vehicle.
3. operable or inoperable - Operable vehicles can be driven onto the truck. Inoperable vehicles require special equipment to pull the vehicle onto the truck.

Tip #3 - READ YOUR CONTRACT CAREFULL
After you sign your contract, your car transport company will ALWAYS refer you to the contract for any complaints you may have, including the cost to cancel your shipment. The main thing to look for is a clause that says there is no guaranteed pickup or delivery date. Even though most cars are delivered by car transport companies within the expected time frame, most will not guarantee a delivery date. You can ask for the following things to protect yourself against verbal promises that you would have otherwise relied upon

Tip #4 - TIME IN TRANSIT
The time that your car is in transit will be dependent on a number of factors, including the origin and destination, time of year, and the actual truck that will be shipping your car. When you get quotes from auto transport companies, you should also ask about estimated shipping time. The following are common time frames for shipping between different parts of the country.
East Coast to West Coast - typically 5 to 14 days
Midwest to East Coast - typically 3 to 8 days
Midwest to West Coast - typically 3 to 8 days
South to the North - typically 3 to 8 days

Tip #5 - PAYMENT METHOD
While some car transport companies may not require payment in advance, most require a deposit (10-25% of the total cost) or full payment in advance. If a deposit is given, the remaining amount due is required at the time of delivery – oftentimes with a cashiers check or cash. Some auto transport companies do accept credit cards, but they may charge a 2-3% surcharge.

TIP# 6 - PICK-UP & DELIVERY DATES
Ask for estimated pick-up and delivery times from your car transport company. You should be able to get a 3-day window for pick-up – during the busy summer or snow bird season the window may be larger, but the car transport company should warn you of possible delays ahead of time. BE SKEPTICAL OF EXACT PICK-UP AND DELIVERY DATES promised by auto transport companies – If you are promised exact dates, get it in writing and state the remedy if service is not performed on the promised dates.
TIP# 7 - REFERENCES
While we do our best to exclude poor-quality car transport companies from our auto transport directory, we unfortunately cannot guarantee the quality or performance of those companies listed. BEFORE SELECTING A COMPANY, we recommend that you contact the Better Business Bureau in the city in which the car transport company is listed to inquire about the company's service history. Also, many car transport companies are referred by van line companies. Ask for several references, if possible.

Visitors should not only base their choice of shipper via this website.
When you make a commitment with one vehicle shipper, do not book with another vehicle shipper as this will hinder your shipment. When two vehicle shippers are trying to move the same vehicle, most drivers will PASS on that vehicle and call on another.
