Auto Transport FAQ – Answers to Your Questions

December 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Auto transport is a job best left to the experts.  Only experienced auto transporters should be chosen, in order to ensure that your vehicle arrives in the same condition in which it left.  That said, auto shipping provides convenience, peace of mind and many other benefits, as well.  To help ensure that you have the best auto shipping experience possible, here are the most commonly asked questions and their associated answers.

Question: How long will it take to deliver my car to my new destination?

 Answer: Transporting your car can take between 3 to 5 days depending on the destination. Coast-to-coast shipping usually takes about 7-10 days.

Question: What is the standard method of transport for my vehicle?

Answer: The standard method of transport is a 10-car capacity open carrier trailer.

Question: Will there be a specific pickup date for my vehicle?

Answer: You tell us your preferred pick up date and we’ll get our drivers to load your vehicle. We will call you and notify you before pickup and upon delivery.   

Question: What happens if my vehicle arrives damaged from transport?

Answer: Your first step should be to note the damage at the time you pick up the vehicle.  Note this damage on the “bill of lading,” which is used as the driver’s inspection of the vehicle at pickup.

Question: Should I book my transport in advance?

Answer: You should arrange for transport at least two weeks in advance, though a longer notice is also beneficial.  

Question: Is a deposit required to secure service?

Answer: We require a $200 deposit for all reservation.

Question: Do you have any terminals or a place I can drop my car off?

Answer: No. We offer a door-to-door auto transport service. We do not use terminals or drop off locations.

    I am general web surfer who landed on your site.

    The general public would benefit if you had a blog post that mentioned a few of the things that go into pricing a car shipment and it included a ballpark figure or price range for shipping between two towns.

    I am not interested in shipping a car now; so I wouldn’t bother you requesting a quote. However, I am left wondering if shipping a car 500 miles is in the thousands of dollars or in the hundreds of dollars.
