Looking For A Company For Car Shipping

By Christopher Rogers


Many people will have to move their car for various reasons and will need to use the services of a shipping company. If you are looking for a company for car shipping there are various options available to you. Before you make a decision it is advisable to do some research on the options to ensure that you get the best service at a competitive price.

It is imperative that you find a company that can handle the shipping of your vehicle professionally and at a good price. You should only hire a company that is licensed, legally bonded and fully insured and there are a large number of these to choose from. There are many well established firms that handle vehicle transportation to a very high standard.

The phone book is a good starting point when you are searching for a specialist firm and there are many numbers listed and you can also check newspapers and specialist magazine publications. The majority of businesses can be found by searching the internet and the web sites are useful when doing your research. The internet pages are full of useful information and most web sites will feature a testimonials page with comments from customers which are worth reading.

When you have found a suitable firm you will need to give them some information and fill in some paperwork. They will require your location, the delivery address and the make, model and year of the car that is to be shipped. You will be given a price for the job and it is a good idea to get quotes from various firms so that you can make some price comparisons.

There could be some additional paperwork to be completed depending on the final destination of the vehicle. Customs clearance may have to be applied for and there may be some import duty to be paid and the firm will inform you of this. When you have accepted a price you can get the process started and move the car.

You car can be collected from your address or you can take it to the shippers which may save some money. Your car will be transported by a ferry or it may be put in a sealed container and shipped on a larger vessel. Your vehicle will be secure throughout the journey and it will be fully insured against loss or damage in transit.

If you own a business and need to transport cars on a regular basis it is worth setting up a contract with one of the firms. They will handle all of your vehicles at a better rate as well as taking care of paperwork and other logistics. This can be a cost effective way of moving large numbers of cars regularly.

Always make sure that someone is at the delivery point to check your car for any damage before it is accepted and signed for. If there have been any problems with the transportation then you will need to contact the shippers at the earliest opportunity. It is advisable to retain all paperwork and your receipt for payment in case any problems need to be rectified.
