Online car shipping quotes will be the easiest to review. You can easily search for providers in your local area, or if you’re looking for a specific car shipper that’s perhaps been recommended by your rare sports car collector friend to take special care of a one-of-a-kind restoration, you’ll find the information you need with a few clicks of your mouse. Online, you can compare many shippers at once, plus bookmark their websites for easy access later on. Always follow-up online quotes with direct phone calls for complete disclosure and verification of your plans.
Some things to consider in your quotes for car shipping are: licensing and bonding, insurance, as well as a company that’s experienced and knowledgeable with the required documentation and regulations, especially if you’re considering shipping internationally (which could be as close as trip from Cincinnati to Toronto). The transporter should provide this information with their quote, as well as have hard copies, including proof of insurance to cover any damage or theft of your car while in their care; remember to get copies for your records. Also, verify whether your car is covered while sitting on their lot or if accessories like stereos or alarm systems are included.
As mentioned earlier, online car shipping quotes are the easiest to get. Some websites will even provide multiple quotes on a single page, saving you the time and hassle of looking at several different online quotes. Even online, look for little details that could cost you in the end, such as 1) no guarantee on pickup or delivery dates, 2) cancellation fees, or 3) if enclosed transportation is available, especially if the car is rare or too costly to replace (even if that’s an emotional attachment for a restored or custom-built car). So do your research, consider your many options online or through referrals, then clean out your car, hand over the keys -- and make plans to meet your car in its new location. You’ll appreciate the efficient, quality transportation that you won’t have to be behind the wheel of to enjoy.
