Moving a car

Moving a car can be quite a challenge if you are relocating to a distant place, or have more than one car. You can consider selling off your auto if you will not need it, or if it does not comply with regulations in your new city of residence.

If you decide to move your car, then you can drive it to your new home yourself, move it with your household goods, or make arrangements with a professional car mover. Moving a car with your other possessions will be quite expensive, because it is a very heavy item.

If you don’t want to drive your car to the new destination yourself, it may be preferable to make arrangements with a professional car shipping company.

It is cheaper to ship a car in an open truck, but it will be better protected in an enclosed one. It may be worth paying more for an enclosed truck if you have an expensive vehicle.

Obtain quotes from at least three car shipping companies, and compare their offers before you select one of them. Select a car shipping company on the basis of a good reputation, rather than on the basis of a very low bid.

Be wary of car shipping quotes that are unrealistically low. Some crooked car shipping services offer very low bids just to hook customers, and then demand much more to deliver the car!

Verify their credentials and track record of car moving companies, before you make arrangements with one of them.

Check to see if any complaints have been registered with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) against the car shipping service. Ask for references, and call them up to ask about their experiences with the service providers.

If you want door to door service, make sure that a large car hauler will be able to access your home. Otherwise, you will have to make arrangements to have your car picked up from a more accessible parking lot, or opt for terminal to terminal service.

Inspect you vehicle and make a note of any scratches, dents, and other deterioration. You can also take photographs, so you will be prepared for the pre-loading inspection, and can lodge a claim if it is damaged in transit.
