Ease Your Car Shipping Experience

There are several things you can do to make your transport experience easier. One of the biggest things you can do is to make sure that your car is clean – on the inside, and that you have less than 100lbs of stuff in the trunk. This is because trucks aren’t licensed to carry household goods, but if you keep the load light in the trunk only, they never have to know about it and can just call it “junk in the trunk,” so to speak. You would be responsible for any lost and stolen items, however, so proceed at your own risk. Make sure that all loose change and trash is out of the interior of the car, and you may want some dirt on there to show any new damages.

Make sure you mark any damages on your vehicle prior to transport, then when the car is delivered go through a thorough inspection again.

Always know what type of transport is which – terminal to terminal is where you drop your car off at a terminal, whereas door to door auto transport is when the trucks comes to your house (or somewhere close) and picks up the vehicle. Terminal to terminal shipping typically costs less, but is generally less reliable than door-to-door transport. If you’re shipping an exotic or expensive vehicle, we recommend door-to-door transport.
