The Best Way to Find an Auto Transport Company
When first starting your search for an auto shipping company you need to keep in mind how exactly you’re going to go about it. There are a few different ways that you can conduct your search, but unlike trying to find a local plumber, you’re trying to find a company that can handle interstate transportation of a vehicle, which is decidedly more difficult.
Therefore, looking in something like the Yellow Pages probably isn’t the best option for you. Really, when you’re trying to find a shipping company, the best way to go about it will be to search online, typically using a search engine such as Google to help you narrow down your search and find someone who is credible.
Terms such as “auto shipping,” “car transport,” and “vehicle shippers” are great starting points, because they give you immediate access to nationwide auto transportation companies within seconds.
But from there, how do you narrow down your search? There are going to be thousands upon thousands of results – the search for “auto transport” on Google yields about 58.9 million different results, so you’ll likely want to start at the very top and stay there.
Usually when you do a search you’ll find a good mix of different shipping companies, and calling them all up or filling out their quote request forms is a good idea. By getting free quotes (and everyone in the car shipping industry gives out quotes for free – if you have to pay for a quote they’re likely scamming you) you increase how many bids you can choose between and widen your search to see a whole host of different prices within a range.
Some auto transport companies are actually quote providers masquerading as shippers. They get you multiple quotes from different transporters to ship your vehicle. This isn’t always a bad thing. Using a quote provider allows you to compare quotes and services pretty much immediately. If you fill out our quote form you’ll get an instant price to ship your vehicle with American Auto Shipping.
But we do suggest you shop around first. Really, it’s just common sense.
If you need a free quote to ship your vehicle, be it within the state or across the country, go ahead and fill out our free online quote request form. You’ll get a free auto transport quote immediately without any hassle. We work with only top-rated carriers who are fully licensed and insured.
