Although you can call an auto transporting company over the phone and get an estimated rate, there are always things on the contract you sign that are in small print. In order to make an educated choice, get more information than just a price over the phone. It could be embarrassing if you got there and they wanted you to pay by cash in advance, for example.

Before you start shopping for a company to transport your auto, have all the necessary information together that will help the company to know what services you will require.

Besides having specific information about your vehicle, you should be sure about the date you will need the service. Also, will you need the vehicle to be picked up and delivered or will you be dropping it off at a terminal near the airport?

What payment methods does the auto transport company accept? If you pay with a credit card, do they charge an additional fee? Will you be required to pay in advance or is a deposit required?

Check the contract for guarantees related to their service. If the car isn’t picked up or delivered when they promise, will they refund your advance payment? If your vehicle is damaged or stolen, what type of insurance coverage do they have that will compensate you?

Request an Original Inspection Report be done before you turn your vehicle over to the transporting company. This should include information about your car before it is transported such as mileage and present condition. Keep a copy of this.

Do not sign this report or accept return of your vehicle until a thorough examination has been done. If there are problems with the condition of your vehicle when you pick it up, make sure that these things are noted and written on the report. Make sure that the driver also signs the report that shows any problems with your car.
