The vehicle shipping process may appear simplistic, but here is a detailed breakdown of the auto shipping process! Shipping quotes will not often differ more than two hundred dollars. Price is an important factor in the choice. Factors that may increase price are additional insurance and special requirements for transporting the vehicle. Free auto transfer quotes are available on the internet at many sites. The quote given from the shipping company is based loosely on; season, starting and delivery points, type of vehicle, enclosed or unenclosed transport, and any other provisions that are to be required.

Some companies may require a deposit rather than allowing payment upon delivery. This deposit could be up to fifty percent of the price. A contract is often involved in a step of shipping the vehicle, the contract must be signed, and can be given to the company in person, or transcribed electronically. The contract will have the provisions of the delivery including payment, cancellation clauses and it is very important to examine the contract closely, and pose questions that you may have to the company.

Insurance protects your vehicle against robbery, damage and theft. This insurance is often automatically included with the cost of shipping the vehicle and the provisions are outlined in the contract.

Although insurance is provided by the auto shipping company many car shippers require that the vehicle is insured with owner’s insurance company. Insurance information is available in the contract of the vehicle shipping agreement, and will give pickup and discharge information for the depot, or delivery. On this report, you we be able to see mileage information, and any information pertaining to the state of the vehicle upon pick up. It is important to ensure that this information is accurate, at the time of pick up, and nothing has changed upon delivery.
