Shipping your Classic Car

Buying a classic car can be an exciting but daunting search. Purchase outside of the state and miles away often happen so you might need to transport the vehicle across the country.

There are many things to consider when choosing a transportation company. While choosing, make sure you are 100% confident in their ability to relocate your classic car without damaging it. Choose a company that is reputable and is able to give you references of previous work. Also, look for companies that specialize in the type of vehicle you are wanting to transport, whether it be a classic car or classic truck, muscle car or fancy sports car, make sure they are able to fit your needs.

Before you decide which company to choose, make sure you are find out the total costs of shipping and their preferred payment method.

Many things can happen when transporting a vehicle for miles. Make sure the transportation company has an insurance plan that can cover any damage that might occur as a result of the transport. Make sure to read the fine print carefully to make sure there is no releasing the transportation company from being liable. And always keep a copy for your records.

Another option to consider is a type of transporting that is available. Is it a door-to-door service or terminal to terminal? Also, many transporting companies offer enclosed transport. If you do not want your vehicle to be damaged by the elements or risk the possibility that it might become stolen enclosed transport is the way to go. Most car shippers offer this service.

If you are the one shipping the car to the new owner, make sure that you fill out an Original Inspection Report from the company. Details of the report will include the pick-up and delivery information, current mileage and the condition of the car when it left your possession. Also, the new owner of the vehicle should have a copy of this report as well.

Once the vehicle has arrived, inspect your new car carefully and compare with the Original Inspection Report. Always take your time and be cautious, there is very little recourse if you accept the vehicle and damage has occurred.

When choosing a shipping company, make sure they have a helpful customer service department that will be able to help you if any problems should arise. They should be able to work with you if any damage is done to the car and offer reimbursement.
