Choose a Car Shipping Company

When it comes to choosing an auto shipping company to ship a car, it is important to consider all the factors beyond the transport's fee. Ask if the price is all-inclusive. Many auto transport and car shipping companies will give you an attractive, super low rate to get your business and your "deposit" (just a fancy way to call the Broker´s Fee for arranging the auto transport) only to turn around and ask you for more money or hit you with hidden fees. King of the Road Transport only works with fully licensed, bonded and insured auto shipping companies that offer door-to-door, non-stop, one truck auto transport and are top-rated withing the auto shipping and car transport industry. Do not pay the deposit upfront, ever. Simply because you should not have to pay until your broker actually does what he is hired to do, which is getting your vehicle picked up by a reputable, licensed and insured car mover company. Ask around about the auto transport company's experience and reputation. You can find some of this information through the Better Business Bureau's website, state incorporation records and online customer reviews. You may also want to ask friends and family if they have any personal recommendations. Determine if the car shipping company has a pickup window. This is important, because if they don't, they can take forever to pickup and deliver your vehicle. You want to know when to expect your car to be shipped.
 Talk to the shippers, ask questions. Here are some things you should ask about: Licensing Bond/Insurance Extended Damage Protection Payment Terms Transport Windows and Time Frames Extra or Hidden Fees Ratings Testimonials BBB Accreditation and Rating Cancellation Policy Pick the best value based on how well the company meets previously mentioned factors and the cost of their service, combined.
