Shipping your car can be stressful if you’re not prepared. Whether you're moving to another state or buying a vehicle online, understanding the process makes everything easier. Here are the top five things you should know before shipping your car with DIY Transport 🚗.
Never go with the first quote you receive. Compare prices from at least three reputable companies. Focus not just on price, but also insurance coverage, delivery time, and customer reviews. Trusted names like Easy Auto Ship offer transparent pricing and real-time tracking.
Open carriers are budget-friendly and ideal for most vehicles, while enclosed carriers provide added protection for luxury or classic cars. Know your vehicle’s value and weather conditions before deciding which one suits you best.
Before pickup, inspect your car thoroughly. Take clear photos of all sides, noting any scratches or dents. This helps resolve any disputes if damage occurs during transport. Save these images with timestamps for record-keeping.
Auto transporters are not responsible for your personal belongings. Avoid placing valuables or electronics inside the car. Extra weight can also increase your shipping cost. Keep only essentials like the car jack or emergency kit.
Always confirm that your chosen company has proper insurance coverage. Ask for proof in writing. When shipping with DIY Transport, your vehicle is insured under federal guidelines for carrier liability.
