Choosing an car shipping company can seem overwhelming at first. How do you know which is a good company to do business with? How are the companies different?
Here are three simple steps to help you choose the right auto transport company for you:
The first step is to get quotes from several car shipping companies . Typically, you want to get 3-5 quotes. While you may initially want to go with the lowest price, you should also consider the reputation of the company.
In order to check on their reliability, use the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org ) that is local to where the company is located. While no company is likely to have a perfect record, you can learn a lot about a company in seeing any complaints and how they responded to them.
You can also ask the car shipping company for references. They should be able to provide at least a few good references who can tell you about their experience working with the car shipping company.
Finally, while all car shippers are required to have a minimum level of coverage, you want to be sure that the company you are working with has a current policy. Just as there are uninsured drivers, there are a limited number of auto transporters who let their insurance lapse. You can get the insurance information, including their level of coverage plus their agent and phone number, directly from the car shipping company.
By using these three steps, you will find it much easier to choose the right auto transport company for you.
