Tips And Warnings For Auto Shippers
Are you still reliving the day that you and your best friend decided to don your backpacks for a full 3 month travel of Europe during the summer after college graduation? Preparing yourself for any mishaps or uncontrolled phenomenon, and planning for months in advance; your mothers probably thought you were out of your minds at the time, but still it seemed alright. Before even setting out on your adventure you felt a big achievement had already been made, and more excitement arose as you made the preparations.
Months of advance planning are required to backpack; packing for the venture, which countries, which cities, which hostels, airport tickets, Euro-rail transports, and money appropriations. Minus the clothes, you must prepare all the same going through the auto shipping industry. You must choose the company or broker, figure the right transportation, pickup and delivery stops; how comfortable is your vehicle's lodging, which direction you will go, how you will pay, and clothing can be included perhaps. Your car will need to be undressed of any outside gear and electrical devices; spoilers or any other specific ornaments. Here are some tips and warnings for a safe auto shipping adventure.
Tips
Be forthright with your carrier. An over filled gas tank or any extra "things" in your car can impede the delivery process, and cost the driver additional money during checks.
Do not pay anything upfront. Steer clear of lower-priced companies as well. Cheaper rates could be a result of less experience, thus possibly damaging your vehicle. Make sure of this as companies and brokers often will go for the highest bidder and leave you and your vehicle stranded.
Research the company or broker you are using. Make sure they are insured, licensed, bonded, and registered with the Better Business Bureau.
Document and photograph your vehicle. At pick up and delivery your company should do the same.
Most importantly, before signing read the full contract. Be conscious of small print and hidden fees.
Warnings!
1) This industry may sound convenient and secure but on the contrary it can be very unstable and there are no guarantees. A number of dilemmas can happen such as weather, mechanical issues, road blocks, and more.
2.) Make sure you do not reserve your vehicle with two different companies. If this occurs most drivers will pass on your vehicle resulting in you having to do the whole process again.
3.) A credit card reservation is normal but make sure that unless your vehicle is assigned to a driver they do not charge anything.
In any regard, you must be educated and alert. Just like traveling cross country or internationally with high hopes and a backpack, you will be in more than trouble if not prepared. You can get lost, have your things stolen in an instance, and in a worst case scenario, hurt or killed. All of these are possibilities as to what can happen to your vehicle as well, use the tips and warnings and plan away. - 21396
