While door to door pick and delivery is surely the most convenient, you must also give cost some thought and keep in mind that terminal pick up is not that inconvenient too! Since these terminals are located in most major cities and at various points, you simply have to drive down and drop your car for it to be transported. The other option you have is that the company picks up your car and puts it on the open carrier. Since your car will travel with some other cars, your car might be the first to be picked up and last to be delivered.

auto transport open carrier

There are many questions which crop up in the mind of a person who is contemplating to ship his car. The first dilemma is whether to hire the services of an auto shipping company or whether to drive yourself. The issue is not just the cost involved, driving yourself would also entail taking on some additional responsibilities which you could comfortably pass on to the carrier who ships your vehicle. The next question that crops up is what type of carrier will I choose? There are so many options of trailer trucks today – that choosing the right of carrier may become difficult. The open carrier system where your car will be transported along with 8 or 9 other cars is perhaps the most popular and the most affordable option you have, unless you wish to transport a specialty, exotic or a vintage car. The reliability factor of open carriers is so high that even the most reputed car manufacturers rely on its services to transport its new vehicles to the dealers’ showrooms. Then the question of your car pick up.

From where would you like your car to be picked up? Thought there are two choices: door to door pick up and terminal to terminal pick up and delivery, if you opt for open carrier trailer trucks, it might be difficult to organize a door pick up primarily because its size and height will not permit to ply on many roads or enter many lanes.

Most auto shipping companies operate within a specific time frame when they promise pick up and delivery of your car. As the scheduled moving day draws closer, they call the customer with a specific date regarding pick up and deliver. Issues like preparing the car before transportation; additional insurance and emptying the car fully before it is loaded are important and should never be overlooked.
