Car Carrier Tips:
-
You can opt
for door-to-door service, but make sure that a large car
hauler truck will be able to reach your home. There may
narrow lanes or low over-bridges on the route, which
will prevent it from reaching. In such a situation, you
may have to meet the car hauler at a more accessible
place like a parking lot, shopping center, or terminal.
-
Remove all
personal items from the car before you hand it over to
the car carrier service. Make a note of all
dents, scratches, and other deterioration and take
photos if possible. This will make it easier for you to
lodge a claim if anything is lost or damaged on the way.

Many people
prefer to deal with car carrier services that use
their own trucks to transport vehicles and avoid dealing
with brokers. However, shippers often find that brokers
offer better prices than those quoted by car carriers
if they approach them directly.
-
This is
because brokers have vast networks of contacts, which
help them to find out about empty slots on trucks and to
book them at highly discounted rates. While some brokers
also own trucks and use them to transport vehicles, some
car carrier shipping companies also act as
brokers.
-
The legal
responsibility of a broker ends when arrangements have
been made to transport your vehicle, but brokers may
provide better service than many transporters. It is
best to obtain quotes from several brokers and auto
carrier companies and to check their credentials and
reputation before you select one of them.
