Now-a-days World is becoming more globalized and it is different as it was few decades ago. People start relocating from one place to another. The demand for Car Shipping services have also been increased by online car sales and car auctions. As a result, there are many international shipping companies to choose from. But one must choose the service which is more suitable for your car. Below are the few tips for you to choose best company which suits your needs:-

Enclosed or Not Enclosed Container for Your Car

One will have to decide whether your car needs to be enclosed in a container or not during shipping. Generally enclosed containers are preferred because your car is safe from wind, rain, debris etc. during shipping. Enclosed containers are more expensive but either safe too.

Shipping Routes

One must check according to your needs with your shipping company whether they can deliver to your house or particular location. Some shipping companies only deliver to major cities and certain pickup locations after which you are expected to go there to pickup your car. Some car shipping companies will charge an additional fee to transport it to your destination.

Car Shipping Insurance

One must check with the car shipping companies on the shipping insurance coverage on your car and the cost involved. Most car shipping companies include insurance in the total shipping cost but some don’t and will charge an additional fee. So make sure you know the insurance coverage and the cost if needed according to your requirement.

Car Inspection Checklist

Most car shipping companies will have a car inspection checklist before and after the car is transported. You must go through that checklist and make sure your condition of the car is checked correctly before shipping. You can take your time to inspect the car after it has been transported to check for any damages to your car.
