Car Ship in 3 Steps

If you need Auto Transport to or from The Carolina states, then picking the right company should be your Top Priority.  

The following list will contain helpful tips which can be very useful when securing the Perfect Auto Shipping Company to pickup and delivery your vehicle to or from The Carolina states. 

✅ #6 - RESERVE IN ADVANCE   

The more time you allow your auto transport coordinator, the better the possibility you will have in securing your spot on an available carrier within the time and dates you require to or from The Carolina states. 

This is also the best way to get the best rate.  

Booking with plenty of lead time opens up the amount of available carriers ready to pickup and deliver your vehicle for The Carolina states shipments. 

Try to give your auto transportation venture at least a week of prep time as all loads are basically based on availability.  

Some areas may require a longer window for pickup depending on accessibility.   

✅ #5 – RESEARCH REVIEWS

Always make sure to not simply trust the first driver who comes along in The Carolina states to pickup your vehicle. 

Make sure to do the responsible thing and cross reference the carriers company name through Google. 

You can follow their name by the word “Reviews”. 

This tells Google to send you review sites with that company name attached. 

This can help you better make a final decision when allowing a car shipper to pickup and deliver your vehicle to or from The Carolina states. 

Saving yourself a headache by avoiding a crooked sales pitch is definitely well worth the time spent.   

✅ #4 - CONFIRM INSURANCE  

All The Carolina states Auto Transport carriers operating within the United States are required to have full coverage cargo insurance which is enforced by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).   

Making sure that your carrier has the proper documentation should be top priority when trusting a car shipper with your vehicle for transport. 

In most cases the carrier can send you the insurance documents by email. 

You can also ask the Auto Transport Logistics coordinator who said everything up for you in the beginning. 

Some The Carolinas Auto Shipping companies may try to charge you extra for the required cargo insurance. 

Most will include all Insurance costs in their final quotes since it is required by law anyways.  

✅ #3 - WASH VEHICLE  

Allowing the driver to do a vehicle inspection on a clean automobile will allow everybody involved in this process to know the true condition of the car at pick up when the inspection is taking place.   

The driver will do a full inspection on the auto being picked up and we'll leave the person releasing the vehicle with a carbon copy vehicle inspection sheet. Also referred to as the bill of lading. The same will be done on delivery.   

Please note, the car will most likely be dirty on delivery from the elements of the air during transport which will affect your vehicle in the slightest. 

If there is any added damage which can be proven through the pickup and delivery invoices, then your Carolina states Auto Transport Logistics coordinator should be able to walk you through the claims process.   

✅ #2 – REMOVE PERSONAL ITEMS  

In all cases when shipping your vehicle, the auto transporter should provide full protection on your automobile in the event that there is damage during shipping to or from The Carolinas. 

Personal items that are not part of the vehicle are not covered under the cargo insurance policy. This is mainly due to lack of proper inventory. 

Drivers do not wish to assume liability for personal items as no insurance policies available to Carolina states Auto Shippers will cover personal items in a customer's car. They are Auto Transporters. Auto is the key word.   

Some drivers will allow items in the vehicle as long as they are concealed and secured. This means completely out of sight. No driver should find the need to search your vehicle. 

Therefore, they do not want to know what's in your vehicle. Keep that in mind! 

✅ #1 - COMMUNICATION IS KEY  

We encourage you to connect with your carrier direct when you are provided the drivers direct information for contact.   

Our drivers are required to contact both pickup and delivery parties to coordinate times 24-48 prior to arrival at both ends. 

When a line of communication is opened, the success rate of your auto shipment to or from The Carolina states raises to 98%.   

Timing and precision are the top priority when efficiently transporting automobiles from state to state.
