Obviously, you will want to do some comparison shopping. Not only will you want to compare fees for transporting your auto, it is imperative that you check out the company’s credentials. Even if a particular company charges a higher fee than another, if that company has been in business and has only good reports with the Better Business Bureau, it is worth the extra expense.

How do the companies transport automobiles? Do they use a carrier specifically equipped for transporting cars? Does the company you are considering use an enclosed auto train? If you are relocating hundreds or thousands of miles, you will want to find out if they have a lot of experience transporting autos a long distance.

Will your vehicle be moved on the date that you require? If that company cannot guarantee when it will be picked up or delivered, find another company to transport your vehicle. Has this company been legally authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission to transport privately- owned vehicles?

Most of these professional transporting companies use auto shipping terminals. These terminals are close to airports. With this option, you can drop off your vehicle at your convenience. Use their valet service to make it even easier on you.

It is a good idea to ask if they have a money-back guarantee if your plans change and you decide not to use their service. Use your credit card when you pay ahead so that you will have another way to prove that you paid in case you lose your receipt. Although your records will be in their computer system, privacy rights are more strict than they used to be. Have personal identification available for this purpose.

Prices vary as well as services that are available. Get the best deal for your money. More importantly, confirm that they offer the services you want included for the transport of your vehicle.
