People
are often left with the impression that car shipping
companies are used only when people are moving long
-distance from one location to another. As a company that has been
in the car shipping business for over 20 years, we
can assure you that IS NOT always the case. If you
want to enjoy your summer holiday and don't want to spend many
hours behind the wheel, then you should consider using a car
shipping company. Auto shipping
services can help you bring your vehicle to your
summer destination - quickly, safely and
affordably. Before you pack the swimsuits here is a list
with the most helpful tips and tricks for your car:
Inspect your vehicle before shipment
Make sure to get any records of any existing damages such as
scratches, hits and dents. Take photographs with your phone or
personal camera then keep it somewhere you won't forget later. When
you go through the delivery process of your car, you should do the
same type of inspection to check if the car was in the same
condition as it was before shipment. On VERY RARE (less than 2%)
occasions that there are minor damages that you SHOULD NOTE on the
delivery inspection report (bill of lading). You should do this
before accepting the car. Our drivers have long distance
driving experience and damages are reduced to MINUMUM.
Prepare your car for loading
Preparing your car for loading is an essential element. This
will help our drivers ship your car with ease. The more
time you prepare your car for shipment, the more likely it will
arrive on time and without damage. If you own a
convertible make sure the top of the car is secured as much as
possible to avoid any damages from air, debris or moisture. If you
cannot secure the top by yourself, you should consult with a
technician or add extra protection by applying wind-resistant tarp.
Fold back the mirrors and the antenna. If you have fog lights,
ground effects or spoilers you should secure or remove them.
Don't forget to disable your alarm. If you can't
do it yourself provide instructions to the driver on how to turn
off the alarm in case it's triggered.
Here are the 3 GOLDEN rules for preparing your
car right:
1. Wash your car carefully
2. Remove all your personal items from the
car
3. Check the tires and the car battery
Time needed for delivering the vehicle
In the car shipping industry Summer is the busiest season. Most
of the US population lives in major metropolitan areas and car
shipping services are the best way to relocate a
vehicle from point A to point B. Most of our orders ship in
less than a week. Our drivers are very careful with the cars that
they ship. 98% of the vehicles we ship arrive at their delivery
point without a scratch.
Here's a list our car shipping transit
time (the time it takes us to ship a car from its pick
up point to its delivery point):
-> 100-500 miles between 1 - 2 days
-> 500-1000 miles between 2 - 3 days
-> 1000-1500 miles between 3 - 5 days
-> 1500-2000 miles between 4 -6 days
-> 2000-2500 miles between 5 - 7 days
-> 2500-3000 miles between 6 - 9 days
We ALWAYS try to be on time. Our on time delivery rate is
currently at 99%.
Protect your vehicle from the weather elements
If you own a classic,
vintage or luxury car the options you have to protect it is to
request fully enclosed transport
or have your vehicle top loaded. Top loading has
the same cost and we assure you that the vehicle will travel on the
upper deck of the carrier, where contact with the road debris and
auto fluids is less likely.
Keep a realistic timeline
Ensuring your vehicle arrival on time is not always an easy job.
You'll need to plan well in advance - if you have any
questions feel free to call us and we can give you an
