How to choose a good auto transport company?

If you find out that a particular company has plentiful complaints it would be better to drop that company. Don't choose a company that offers you lowest price. Good service should be given utmost importance. Make sure that they provide DOT and MC number. You can check the validity of their DOT number at the FMCA website. Make sure that the auto transport company provides insurance for your vehicle. In case of any damage to your vehicle at the time of transit you can claim for damages from the auto transport company.

If you choose an uninsured auto transport company you may not receive compensation for damage or loss that has occurred at the time of transit. Make sure you read the contract and understand the provisions before signing it.

Make a decision about which company to use and book your transport. Get a confirmation via fax or email. Before transporting your vehicle see to it you remove all your personal or valuable items. Make sure you have less than a quarter tank of fuel as it decreases the weight of the vehicle. It is a good idea to wash vehicles before the inspection report at pick up. This ensures the car's condition is readily recognized before shipping.
