“How much will it cost to ship my car”? That is a question that is asked thousands of times each day by dealers, wholesalers, collectors and people moving all around the United States. Cost is always a major consideration when moving something as important as your car, truck, or van. It may not, however, be the MOST important question that you should be asking.
Many times people deal with car transportation brokers. These “brokers” are generally companies or groups of individuals that operate no trucks of their own. These ‘vehicle transporters’ take an order to move a vehicle, hold on to a percentage of what they have charged, and then broker the vehicle out on load boards that are posted online and visible to car haulers that do, in fact, have trucks operating and moving around the country. If the price has been quoted or negotiated too low, it becomes unattractive to auto transporters and the vehicle may sit awaiting transport for a long, uncomfortable amount of time. So, rather than asking ‘what is the cheapest price I can get to move this car’, you may want to ask, ‘what is a reasonable price to move this vehicle.’ Cheapest may not always be best.

When you are shipping cars, even if you are only shipping them across state lines within the United States, you need to know which laws in each state are going to affect you. This is especially true if you are shipping your cars overseas for a move, or if you are selling the vehicles commercially.
What You Need To Know
Shipping cars is less complicated if you let the shipping company you chose explain the process to you in detail. You will need to pay taxes, duties and customs charges on cars that have been purchased internationally. If you own the vehicle, different regulations and procedures may apply depending on the country you are shipping to. It is important to understand the vehicle import laws, let the shipping company help you with the required documentation and provide you with a clear understand of the local laws and regulations.

There are occasions when you may have need to ship your car overseas. You will not only need to find a reputable shipping company, but also prepare your vehicle for being moved overseas. You can´t just leave it as is, since this could cause problems in transit. So, here are a few tips to help you ship your vehicle safely internationally.
Clean your car. Getting all the junk out of it and removing any valuables is best. This ensures that your car can be transported safely, without fear of something sliding around inside and possibly causing damage.
Take a Polaroid. Or any other kind of photo. Take dated pictures if possible so you have proof of what condition your vehicle was in when you left it at the shipping company. If your car is damaged in the car of the shipping company, you will need to prove that this was their fault and that you left your car in good condition. Take your photos outside, with good lighting so any scratches or flaws are readily visible.
Get rid of gas. You only want about 1/8 of a tank of gas in your car. It will need to be moved, so you´ll need to leave a little gas in it, but the less weight the better! If you need to, just drive around a bit to bring the gas down, or siphon it off into an approved container for use elsewhere. Read the rest of this entry »

Car shipping is a process of shipping your car from a dealer’s lot or from any other locality that connects consumer, shipping companies and shipping dealers in the most efficient possible way. With a heavy traffic of car transport and the rising demand for shipping there are numerous companies offering an affordable and reliable service. If you have received your car transport estimates and have selected a car transport service follow certain guidelines before the car shipping company comes to pick up your car or when you leave the car at their service terminal. This will prevent you to regret later and minimize the potential problems that could arise at that point of time.
When shipping the vehicle the first thing you have to make sure is your car is operable and safe. As the auto transporter will have to drive your car on and off the carrier at some point during the delivery ensure that the steering and brakes are working properly. Check for any leaking fluids in your car and the fluid levels are low enough to hold expansion. An auto transport truck generally has two levels and your car may be on top of another person’s car. You will be accountable if your car leaks fluids such as coolant, battery fluid or oil on to another vehicle. Fill only about quite a small amount of tank of gas in the vehicle, a full tank of gasoline adds a lot of weight to the transport. Read the rest of this entry »
