- 1). Compare auto shippers online using a provider directory such as Uship.com or Movecars.com. Uship.com offers the benefit of showing customer comments and ratings so that you can read testimonials from the companies. Factors to compare include price, insurance coverage and time required for delivery, as well as quality of service, says Edmunds.com.
- 2). Request a quote from your top three choices of auto carriers. "Ask for the total cost for your origination to destination, approximate departure date, type of vehicle(s), type of car transport service desired (for example, door-to-door car transport vs. terminal-to-terminal), and special car transport services (such as enclosed car transport)," says Movecars.com.
From your research, select an auto shipper that offers insurance coverage. Reputable auto shippers usually offer insurance packages priced according to the value of the car. Alternatively, you can speak with your auto insurance agent to upgrade to a policy that covers auto shipment liability. - 3). Read your services contract thoroughly. Typically, the auto shipment company will give you a window of time when the car will be picked up and delivered, but there is no guaranteed date.
- 4). Inspect your car with the auto shipper prior to sending it off for delivery. Check mileage, scratches and the overall condition to be sure that it is in an identical condition when it arrives to your destination. Upon arrival, inspect the car once more prior to signing off on the delivery.
