When you are in the process of moving, you might consider moving your vehicle separately, especially if you have more than one of them. There are a number of different choices, and of course reasons for moving your vehicle across the country or even the state without driving it. First of all, if you choose to drive the vehicle on your own, you will find that it not only costs you in gas, but also wear and tear on the vehicle. In addition to that there are just too many risks when moving across the country. You could find yourself in an auto accident, or maybe you will be caught in violent weather. Either way, the risks associated with driving it across the country on your own are not worth it when held in comparison to the cost of transporting your vehicle using an enclosed auto transport.
The idea behind transporting your vehicle using a transport company is of course to make sure that it arrives in the same condition in which it left. That being the case, as a company, we will use a white glove service, employ floor mats, and take every precaution to ensure that your vehicle is the same both inside and out when it arrives at the destination.
All enclosed auto transport companies operate in a similar manner and they are precisely what they sound like. Your vehicle will be secured in an enclosed shipping trailer, and as such, will be protected from the elements that would otherwise plague it. There are a number of these vehicles on the road, though you might confuse them when a standard tractor trailer. Car transports are a bit different in that they use a soft tie strap system to ensure the car is attached to the trailer, whereas other transport vehicles would use chains, and these would ultimately cause damage to your vehicle while it is on the road. That said, using an enclosed auto shipping is without a doubt in the best interest of both you and your vehicle.
In the enclosed shipping service there are a number of different options available, but you will of course want to inquire about the price. If you have already performed extensive research then you are well aware that open car transport is a bit cheaper, and will probably save you some time. When you choose the enclosed option, you will find that you pay as much as 75% more, meaning you will need to think long and hard about what you are transporting before you actually commit to using a transport of this nature. For example, do you really need to transport your vehicle in an enclosed container? If you are transporting a typical vehicle such as a car, truck, or SUV, there is a good chance that you won’t need to do so as you can repair any damage via insurance and local repair shops. On the other hand, if you are trying to transport a classic car, there may be some damage that insurance cannot take care of. Finding a chrome fender for an older vehicle for example can be a bit of a trial in and of itself. That being said, you may want to start looking for a good enclosed auto transport quote long before you plan to make the move.
