We analyze over 20 leading companies, handpicking 4-6 options that align most closely with our criteria. Our assessment primarily revolves around key factors such as pricing, licensure, and ratings. Additionally, we consider various elements including trailer type (open or enclosed), trailer size, insurance coverage limits, industry experience (years in transportation), proximity of available dates, potential discounts for military personnel, bulk shipping advantages, and loyalty benefits for regular customers in the shipping realm.

Our service is entirely free of charge. Requesting a quote on our website won’t cost you anything. Additionally, the companies we collaborate with typically maintain transparency in their payment procedures. Most don’t demand prepayment or require the full amount upfront. Generally, payments with top-tier companies occur in two stages: a partial deposit covering taxes, fees, and insurance is charged after the vehicle is picked up. The remaining amount is settled upon drop-off, either directly to the driver or as a total payment at that time.

The companies we partner with boast over a decade of experience in the transportation sector. They hold licenses, extensive expertise, and comprehensive insurance coverage. Prior to collaboration, each company undergoes a meticulous screening process via the FMCSA website to ensure compliance. Insurance coverage among our partners ranges from $100,000 to $250,000 per vehicle for open car haulers, while enclosed carriers consistently maintain a $250,000 insurance coverage.

The shipping duration varies based on mileage and trailer type. Enclosed trailers, transporting 3-5 cars, tend to be faster. For instance, a 3000-mile distance takes approximately 5 days. Open trailers cover around 400 miles per day: 400-800 miles take 2 days, 900-1600 miles take 3-4 days, 1700-2500 miles take 5-6 days, and 2500 miles or more take 7-9 days.

We can arrange transportation for any type of vehicle, whether it’s in running condition or not. If the issue is solely a battery problem, a regular carrier can jump-start the vehicle for shipment. For more severe issues, the carrier will assess if it can be loaded using a winch or if a forklift is necessary for loading and unloading it onto the car hauler.
