For those who are having a long-distance move and would like to hire a car shipping company, there are important factors to consider. Some people prefer drive their vehicles but if you need auto shipping, you can ask your moving company representative if they can refer you to an auto relocation service.
If you decided to ship your car, these tips will help:
- Most car shipping companies give a window time for delivery instead of guaranteed delivery dates. This varies on the company you choose. If they guarantee a delivery date, be sure to put it into writing.
- Prepare your car for shipping. Start by inspecting any belongings or personal items you might have left inside. The antenna should be retracted or removed. Secure any loose parts.

- Depending on the distance, moving your car usually takes two to six weeks.
- Be sure to get your car fully insured by the carrier. Ask all the details including deductibles and read the fine print. Request a copy of their insurance certificate and verify this with the Department of Transportation.
- Upon delivery, inspect your vehicle carefully. Compare the condition and mileage and as much as possible, don't accept your car at night or without thoroughly viewing it.
- Before you sign any agreement, understand how auto shipping works. Ask questions and know all the details.
