| | If your move is taking you far away from your current home, it might be a hassle, or even impossible, to drive your vehicle to your new home. If that is indeed the case, you may want to hire a specialty mover to handle transporting your vehicle to your new home. Auto movers are moving companies that specialize in doing just that. A reputable auto mover will have all the tools necessary to ensure your vehicle makes the trip safely. Types of Auto Transport
Before you select a company to handle your automobile relocation, you should decide how you want your vehicle to be moved. There are a few options available that each has its own benefits and drawbacks. These options are open-air trailer, enclosed trailer, and drive-away service.
Open-Air Trailer You've probably seen these big trucks, loaded with cars, driving down the highway. Open-air trailers are the cheapest shipping option available to you. The major drawback to this service is that your vehicle will be exposed to the elements while it is in transport. Perhaps that isn't a problem for your everyday vehicle, but you may want more protection for your high-end sports or luxury vehicle.Enclosed Trailer Enclosed trailers shield your vehicle from outside weather and road debris. This option is significantly more expensive than open-air trailers, but if you're looking for the best protection for your treasured antique, sports, or luxury vehicle, then this is your best option.Drive-Away Service Drive-away service, though technically not a shipping service, may be a cheap alternative to sending your car in a trailer. Drive-away service companies provide a driver to pilot your vehicle from origin to destination. The drawback to this service is that it is the least safe way to transport your vehicle. It will be exposed to weather, experience some wear and tear, and be subject to the possible driving errors of the hired driver and other drivers on the road.Finding an Auto Mover Once you've decided how you want to ship your vehicle, you can select a mover. Some of the best sources for locating an automobile shipping company can be friends and family. Use these trusted connections to find out about personal experiences with a particular auto mover. You could also use the Internet to find companies and to check customer reviews.
If you can, inspect the companies' trucks to make sure they are in good working order and are equipped to transport your vehicle safely. Check out each company with the Better Business Bureau to make sure they are reputable. Then, select a few of the best companies and compare quotes and services. Choose the one that best fits your needs and budget.
