subject: Different Types of Auto Transportation Services for Fleet Vehicles [print this page] Author: Groshan Fabiola Author: Groshan Fabiola
There are many different types of auto transportation services that are available for individuals and companies that have to ship their vehicles across the state or across the country. If you are looking into fleet car transport for a convoy of company vehicles or even a personal collection of exotic cars, there will be many options that you will encounter. Open shipping, enclosed shipping, economy service and full service will probably be the most common options that you will come across. It is important to understand all the choices that are available in order to make the right selection for your fleet. If the auto transport company you decide to work with offers open shipping, it probably means that the vehicles will be loaded onto an open trailer for transport. While this option is less expensive and is in most cases safe, your vehicles will be subject to more damage than if they had been shipped in an enclosed container. If you choose closed shipping for your fleet car transport, your vehicles will be placed in enclosed trailers where flying objects cannot touch them. The first option is more appropriate for economy cars in a work fleet; the second option is more appropriate for exotic cars and other more expensive vehicles. When it comes time to choose between economy and full auto transportation services, the choice again comes down to the money you want to spend and the types of vehicles you are transporting. Economy service will less, but it usually takes longer and might involve changing trailers and/or being stored in a secured yard one or several times during transport. If you are in no hurry, this option should be fine. But if you need your fleet of cars to be at its destination in a couple days, you might be better off with full service. This means that your fleet will likely remain on one trailer and be shipped to the destination address as directly as possible. With the right auto transport company its possible to move your fleet without any worries. But if you really want the best experience possible, you will have to choose the right service for your unique needs.About the Author:
