Auto Transport Tips: Know Your Shipping Company
One of the most important things that you can do is to know the car shipping company that you plan on booking your shipment with. It’s the same in everything that you do – if you are trusting something as important and expensive as your vehicle to a company you found on the internet, you want to make darn sure that they are going to actually do their job and get your vehicle moved. Really, it’s important that you know and understand as much as you can about your auto transport company and how they’re going to go about actually getting your vehicle shipped.
For starters, you really should look at websites that allow customers to post reviews of their car shippers. Perhaps one of the most popular and highly-touted is Transport Reviews, which is a customer-based auto transport review website that allows you to see how other customers fared using you prospective auto shipping company. What makes Transport Reviews a cut above the rest is the fact that not only can customers post reviews of their service, shipping companies can also respond to those reviews, which means you get the full story behind both good and bad reviews. Transport Reviews, as a website, also ensures that all the reviews on their site are from real customers of those shippers, and have a process for removing fake reviews.
Another great way to learn about your shipping company and get to know them is to visit their website, read about them, and talk to one of their live representatives. Longevity is key in this industry; the longer a shipper has been around, typically the better a company they are. In conjunction with Transport Reviews, you can learn a lot about a company simply by reading some of the stuff they post on their website. They are required to have their terms and conditions in a public place (which typically means their website), and their representatives are trained in all aspects of the vehicle shipping industry, so they can also answer questions you may have and will be able to point you in the right direction.
