Before using an auto transport service it is important that you make sure that you know the basic things about the auto transport service itself
. The first thing that you need to know is that auto transport rates vary depending on several factors.
Usually, the type of you car, the destination, and the date determine how much you will have to spend in using an auto transport service. Ask for a free auto transport quote from the auto transport company to have an idea on how much is the cost of their service. This is also a way to determine if an auto transport company is legitimate because all auto transport companies provide a free auto transport quote. So if you see one that does not provide FREE auto transport quote, do not use their service because they are most likely not legitimate.
Make sure that you are on-time in meeting the delivery truck that will pick-up your car to avoid any delays on the delivery. If you are late in meeting the delivery truck, you are not only delaying the delivery of your car but also the other clients who are waiting for their car to be picked up.
Before you let the auto transport company pick your car up, make a thorough inspection on the current condition of your car to ensure that it is in its good running condition prior to the shipment. Make sure that you have a copy of the car inspection report by the auto transport company and see if it matches you inspection.
Prepare your car for shipment by removing all your personal stuff from the car. Excess weight may cost you more since most auto transport companies charges for excess in the allowable weight limit.
