So now you are faced with the dilemma of transporting your vehicle far, far, away and will not or cannot drive it yourself. Selecting the right company from the myriads existing in the industry today can be daunting. Do not fear, there are some important things to look for in your search for that quality company.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the first thing to observe while doing your comparison shopping is how willing they are to show you their insurance policy and explain the coverage. If the company does not insure their cargo, or will not offer proof, scratch them off your list. They may seem upstanding but if they are not insured, they probably cannot afford it – a very bad sign. They could be embroiled in legal issues or just simply operate their business very badly and are looking for another sucker to fleece before they close their business. Don’t be that sucker. This could be just another example of someone who wanted to be an entrepreneur<\/a>, but had no idea how to run a successful business.<\/p>\n

Of course you want an honest company, but you also want one that is well-capitalized and can offer several insurance policies for you to select depending upon your requirements. Your personal insurance may not cover your possessions adequately when shipping your auto. Pick a policy from the shipping company that extends your personal policy to cover this excess. This type of policy is known as excess insurance. Primary insurance is also offered which offers coverage independently of any insurance you own. The company should give you a rundown of the types of damage and accidents common to the industry to aid you in your decision of the coverage you need appropriate to your situation.<\/p>\n

Now that this step has been completed, you are ready for the next phase – that of deciding which method of transport is best for you. There are two main types of carriers: open and closed, with the open being the most common and most visible. The open carriers are more popular because they cost less than the closed container type. In fair weather and over long distances, the open carrier is good choice and offers prompt shipment.<\/p>\n

Container shipping is the usual method by sea. As mentioned previously, closed carrier trucks cost more than the open carrier and most companies will wait for a fully loaded container truck before shipment. What this means to you is you will have to wait for your car to be shipped unless you pay extra fees for earlier delivery.<\/p>\n

Inside a closed truck or container your car is more secure. It is less likely to be stolen or damaged by elements outside the shipping process, like weather or vandals. If your car has to endure a long trip or if it is an unusual vehicle, an expensive or fragile collector’s item, and if you want to hold on to what you have already spent a fortune buying and maintaining, best opt for closed carrier shipping.<\/p>\n

Companies, that is – good companies, offer insurance for every shipped vehicle: any damaged while the car is handled by the company will be compensated. Moreover, they arrange for liability insurance of at least $800, 000 which covers damage to large numbers of cargo. No business company worthy of its name finds it profitable to mishandle or endanger the property of their clients. They make sure you are insured. Beware of fishy organizations which even so much as hint at reluctance to offer adequate insurance or neglect to mention it.<\/p>\n
