 How do I find companies that transport automobiles?
Well, you found us on the Internet. There are others on the Internet as well. A more common place to look is in the Yellow Pages of the phone book. Ask around, perhaps you know someone who has used this kind of service before.
How much does it cost to transport an automobile?
The cost of transporting an automobile depends on several factors. The distance involved (from where to where?). What type of car you want transported (SUV's are bigger and heavier, so they cost more to transport). If you would like an exact quote for your automobile, please call or email us
How long does it take to transport an automobile?
This also depends on several factors. Average transport time from coast to coast is 7 to 14 days. Out of the way places can take a little longer to transport.
What do I need to do to prepare my auto for transport?
Your car should be in good operating condition. It should start, run, drive and stop like normal. In-operable autos are difficult to transport and cost more.
May I pack personal effects in my vehicle?
We recommend that you do not pack personal effects in your vehicle. Your car is insured during transport, but any contents are not. Anything you leave in your car is done at your own risk. Please do not overload your car because this makes it difficult to safely load it onto our transport trucks.
What about insurance? Is my car insured while in transit?
Yes, your car is insured during transit. We have cargo insurance to fully cover your vehicle in case anything should happen. The contract or bill of lading will explain this in detail.
What is a drive away service and how do they work?
Drive away companies provide a person to drive your car from one location to another. Not recommended and/or provided by us. You are responsible for any mechanical problems your car encounters during the drive (from flat tires to blown up engines).
How do I decide which auto transport company to use?
The decision is yours. The best way to make a decision about which auto transport company to use is to ask questions.
We must have a working phone number where you may be reached throughout the duration of your vehicle relocation.
Transit times will vary depending on the time of year and the origination and destination of your particular move. Your estimated transit time will be indicated on your quote and order confirmation documents.
