Hiring an auto movers company during a move is a great idea. You are already stressed out enough as it is and your car should be on the back of your mind. However, do not assume all companies are alike. It is important to compare these companies, and this article will tell you what to look for when comparing auto transportation companies.
Almost all companies you will look at will offer the same basic services. This is common as those are the most popular options. However, each company will offer stipulations or other options that could make or break their deal with you. Knowing everything you are getting is important so you can make an informed decision.
The first thing you should look for when comparing companies is how they will pick up your car. There are generally two common options: door to door or terminal to terminal. Terminal to terminal means you meet the company somewhere and drop off your car and then you will meet them at another one of their locations.
Door to door is the much better option; the company comes to your door to pick up your car and drops it off at your new location. This saves you time on having to drive to drop off your car and then pick it up, and helps you avoid the overall hassle.
Next, you need to examine the companies' delivery and pickup options. A majority of the companies will haul your car on a transport truck. Transport trucks mean there is a strict pickup and delivery time that you must follow. Some companies have employees drive your car to the destination for you, which is good if you are short on time.
Another thing you need to look for when comparing companies is their quotes. Identify what each coming is quoting you so you can make the best decision. When the companies give you their quotes examine them and make sure to ask if that is everything you will be charged for or if there will be additional hidden fees. You also need to make sure that you are only being charged for the services you want and not additional, unnecessary services.
Finally, you need to identify how your car will be insured for damages and theft. There is always a chance your car will be damaged during transportation and you want to make sure you are properly covered. Ask how the coverage works because some companies will only partially cover you, meaning your insurance company will pick up the rest.
Hiring an auto movers company is a great idea to give you one less thing to worry about during your move. Make sure to follow this article on what to look for when comparing auto companies and you can be guaranteed you will be getting the best company possible.
