subject: The Advantages Of Shipping Your Car In Top Deck Of The Carrier [print this page] When you are planning to transport your car from one place to another, auto transport would be the best options available to you. The car shipping companies would offer open trailer or enclosed trailer method for shipping the automobile. The open trailer method is comparatively cheaper than the enclosed carrier method. However in the both the methods the car would be taken in three or two tier decks. This means there would be another car directly above or below your vehicle. Mostly cars are placed on to the car shipping carrier based on the order of pick up and also the place. But some auto transport companies would allow your car to be placed on the upper deck by paying some extra amount. You may wonder what is the need for opting the upper deck transportation. There are certain reasons and it would be like flying business class than in economy. There are benefits which would be useful for your automobile.
You must know that the car shipping company would be transporting cars of different types and conditions. Not all the cars would be in same condition. There would be cars would leaky fluids. Imagine if your car is being transported on the bottom deck of the auto transport carriers and the car with leaky fluids is placed right above your vehicle, there are chances that dripping oil, anti freeze, battery acid or even coolant would fall on your vehicle. Such situations happen rarely since most of the people do inform the auto transport company of the cars condition. But you would surely don't want to take a chance. Hence it is better advised to go for enclosed transport that too in the upper deck of the carrier especially if you are having an exotic or luxury car.
Another reason for selecting the top level transport would be the road debris. Usually the large auto transport carriers go driving at 80 miles an hour through the highway. So it is obvious that the road debris would get kicked up. In addition there would be debris from other vehicles driving around it. So during car shipping if your car is kept on the top part of the auto transport truck, you can be assured that road debris would not touch your vehicle.
Yet another important concern would be the vandalism or theft happening during the car shipping even though it is very rare. Vehicle riding on the bottom section of a car transport carrier would be at high risk of being vandalized or broken into. This is because they would be easily reached than automobiles kept on the top section of the carrier vehicles. It is due to the chances of vandalism that the auto transport company would ask you to remove all the valuable possessions before the car is being picked up the company representatives. For a very expensive vehicle the enclosed car transport would be the most suited one for preventing sabotage of the vehicle.
