A quote is an estimate by definition meaning estimates can fluctuate.
With that said, a quote or estimate is only as good as the reputation of the company giving it to you. This is very important to know on how to haul your car. Some companies will send you a lowball quote to get your attention and then switch the rate later to a much higher amount in order to get a driver to accept. Make sure to review check the companies that are issuing you those low-ball quotes. Google search the company names to receive review sites. Look at the negative reviews first as we can always give ourselves good reviews. Bad reviews will most likely never be falsified.

5. Communicate with Driver
Communicate with your driver direct

Once a car carrier is assigned an order, the first thing that should happen is communication between the customer and driver.
Keep in mind, most drivers direct need at least a 2 day pickup window for scheduling. Once the driver has added the order to schedule, you would be contacted to coordinate more accurate pickup/delivery times. We also send you all details including driver contact info to your email. 
Drivers usually call 24-48 hours prior to pickup to coordinate times.
Make sure to let the driver know what you can and can not do regarding scheduling. The driver should be able to work around your availability as long as its within reason. |
6. Inspect Vehicle
Make sure your car is protected during transport

When learning how to ship a car, always remember that the vehicle inspection is for your vehicles protection during the car shipping process.
On pickup/delivery, the driver would conduct a vehicle inspection and should leave a copy at both spots. If there is any damage added to the vehicle from pickup to delivery, you can contact our office and we can guide you in the process of filing a claim. Our drivers are pretty good at caring for our customers vehicles. We rarely ever get any claims. Every carrier has their own insurance policy. Proof of insurance can be provided once the order has been assigned to a carrier prior to pickup.

7. Load & Unloading
You should be happy at delivery
|
Drivers prefer to pickup/deliver door to door as it avoids them having to wait for anyone.
They should arrive, load/unload and keep going. The only things that would hinder door to door service would be low hanging trees, narrow roads or laws that restrict. If any of those issues arise, the driver would need to contact you to coordinate a more accessible place.
