What to Expect: Vehicle Shipping Broker

Auto transport brokers abound in today’s service-based society; there are thousands out there, and each one provides a similar service yet they are still vastly different. For starters, you should gather as many quotes as possible from these shippers; getting an idea of the range that different companies are charging within is a good way to save some money while avoiding lowball companies that are looking to just take your money. Gathering multiple quotes can also get you an idea of how those different companies operate, which will help you get the best overall auto transport experience you can. So when you’re looking for auto shippers, make sure to get as many quotes as you can.

What Car Transporters Need From You

Car transporters can typically handle just about any type of car you can think of, from the first ones that rolled off the Ford Motor Company’s assembly lines in 1908 to the modern, sleek-looking vehicles of today. But they need to know exactly what you’re shipping. Make sure you have the year, make and model of the vehicle handy when getting quotes, and make sure that you do a full inspection of your vehicle during both pickup and delivery, even if you’re vehicle is pristine going onto the truck. This is for insurance purposes, and if your vehicle is damaged the inspections you do will save you and your auto transport company a lot of time and hassle down the line.
