Preparing Your Vehicle for Transport
Before pickup, clean the exterior, remove personal items, leave a quarter tank of fuel, disable car alarms, and document existing damage with photos.
Insurance and Carrier Compliance
All carriers are licensed by FMCSA and DOT, bonded, and carry commercial cargo insurance.
Choosing Between Open and Enclosed Transport
Most vehicles ship via open carrier transport. Open carriers haul 7-10 vehicles efficiently and offer the most affordable pricing. Enclosed transport adds 40-80% to the cost but provides full weather protection, dust protection, and concealment. We recommend enclosed for luxury vehicles ($75,000+), classic cars, and exotic vehicles. Standard daily drivers ship perfectly fine via open carrier.
Why Auto Transport Beats Driving Yourself
For long-distance moves, auto transport typically saves money, time, and stress compared to driving the vehicle yourself. Specifically, you avoid fuel costs (often $300-$500 for cross-country), hotel stays during multi-day drives, food expenses on the road, wear and tear on your vehicle (5,000+ miles cross-country adds depreciation), and the time investment of multi-day driving. Furthermore, professional carriers handle the logistics while you fly to your destination and arrive rested. For relocations, snowbird trips, and major moves, auto transport is often the more cost-effective and convenient option.
What to Expect at Pickup and Delivery
At pickup, the driver inspects your vehicle and creates a bill of lading documenting its condition with photos and notes about any existing damage. Both you and the driver sign this document. During transit, you can call our dispatch for status updates. At delivery, the driver conducts a final inspection comparing the vehicle’s condition to the bill of lading. Inspect carefully and note any concerns on the delivery receipt before signing. Furthermore, our carriers maintain commercial cargo insurance protecting your vehicle throughout transit.
