Like anything else, it is always best to go into a situation well prepared. We have listed some things you might want to do before shipping your vehicle.

1) Additional Coverage: White not a necessity, you might want to call your insurance company and upgrade your policy. Most insurance companies know what exactly you will need to add to your policy for your time in transit. Your vehicle is insured through the company shipping your vehicle, but it is always best to have something from your own as well.

2) Clean Your Vehicle: We're not saying give your car a bubblebath. What we mean by clean your vehicle is to take out any personal belongings or items of value while preparing your vehicle for shipment. Personal belongings are not covered while your vehicle is in transit and you would not want items to get lost, stolen or damaged. 

3) Get a Few Different Quotes: It is always helpful to call and speak with a few different companies so you are able to determine the average price of what it is going to cost to ship your vehicle. It is always good to have multiple options and to keep an open mind.

4) Research: After reaching out to a couple of companies, do yourself a favor and do a little research on these companies. Do not let a low ball offer or a flashy website be your determining factor when it comes to shipping such an asset. Don't be hesitant to read some reviews of other peoples experience and check out their social media presence. Not always, but typically this can say a lot about a company.

5) Shipment Date: Though you can call the night before, it is always a good idea to leave some room for your shipping company to work around. We recommend calling and booking an order 1-2 weeks in advance to give you the best possible chance of a successful auto transport. Take in mind that the sooner you call to the date you want shipped, the higher the price will most likely be and a chance of delay is possible. 

6) Time: Be sure you arrange your pickup and delivery times to a day where you are free and have no prior commitments. A person must be at both origin and destination location to go through an inspection and sign off on a report.
