Need to move your car in 24 hours? Try our Same Day Pickup App.
If you need to get their vehicle picked up in within 24 hours, that is what the Same Day Pickup App is for. Our APP works like Fedex Car Shipping. You enter in your information which includes your name, address, phone number, pickup and drop-off locations, Year/Make/Model of the vehicle and any other notes you want the person picking up the vehicle to be aware of. Once you submit the info it will make your vehicle available, and carriers in your area will offer you bids. You have two minutes to accept a bid; once you do, your credit card will be charged the deposit fee, and then you pay the rest of the balance at delivery to the driver. You can download the app if you need same day shipping services and give us a try at the GOOGLE PLAY STORE for Android or the APP STORE for the IPhone.
What do I do When The Carrier Arrives or Drops off my Vehicle?
Document the Condition of the Vehicle:
The first thing you want to do when your carrier arrives it to document the condition of the vehicle. The best way to do this it to take pictures or better yet a video as you prepare the vehicle for auto transport. If you take pictures then be sure you get all four sides of vehicle along with the top of the vehicle and the interior including the trunk. If you take a video then be as thorough as you can. Either way you want to note all the dings, scratches and noticeable damage on the B.O.L.
Review the B.O.L.
Speaking of the B.O.L., also known as the Bill of Lading, you will want to review this and make sure that all your information from drop-off to pick-up is correct. Also as mentioned in the previous step you want to be sure that all damage is show on the illustrations of the vehicle so that you can document it on drop-off in the rare case anything gets damaged.
Know the Auto Shipping Route:
The final thing you will want to do that not everyone does is find out the route that the carrier is going to take. This way you can have an idea of where the vehicle will be and when and can have a little more comfort in knowing this information in your car shipping journey.
NOTE: If you are looking for local car transport companies and you are in the Las Vegas area then you can drop off your vehicle at our office and we will store it for you for free until we can arrange the transportation. We also can take delivery of your vehicle if the carrier is delivering because we are a local auto transport company and can store your vehicle for you until you are available.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship my Car? Here are Some Recent Prices:
Auto Transport, What Is It?
In this industry, there are two types of companies: carriers and brokers.
Brokers vs. Carriers
When looking for car shipping, it’s best to stick to brokers, as they are the ones that will actually organize your shipment and handle all the money and paperwork. Not only that, but the brokers tend to keep the prices lower, and here’s why: in our industry, auto transport carriers basically set the prices. They are in control of how much the service ends up costing, and if they had their way, you would be paying thousands of dollars per car shipped.
Brokers Keep Your Costs Low
Brokerages, however, keep the prices low by being competitive with one another. Since most carriers must take loads from brokerages, they won’t price gouge customers because a customer can just go with a different broker. Finding good auto shippers starts with quotes; from there, you book your order with a broker and the broker will then find a good carrier to transport your vehicle.
What Can I Transport?
American Auto Shipping focuses on shipping cars, trucks and SUVs, but we can move more than just those. Always check with us as we ship oversized vehicles such as vans, dually pickup trucks, box trucks, and even larger vehicles on flatbeds and lowboys. Make sure that you have the dimensions of any oversize vehicle available, as we will require the dimensions before giving you a quote. Usually the length, height, width and weight of the vehicle moved are required for your auto transport.
What Is A Carrier?
Some auto shippers are known as carriers. These companies are the companies that actually move the vehicle on their own trucks. Other auto transporting companies are known as brokerages, and they are the ones that will be arranging the vehicle transport between you and the carrier. When you fill out our free instant online auto transport quote request form, you will receive an estimate of how much it will be to ship your vehicle on one of our carriers. All our carriers are fully insured for $750,000. Carriers are required by federal law to carry $750,000 worth of insurance on their truck to cover any and all damages that are caused by the driver or theft during car transport.
Go National Instead of Local
Searching for a nationwide transportation company will always yield better and more positive results. It may be tempting to do a search for “car transport services near me” but the reality is that the best transportation companies work nationwide and almost always will be based somewhere other than where you are.
Use Reviews to Get the Best Services
Using car transport reviews to ensure the reliability and dependability of any company is a great idea no matter what industry you’re in. Check out our reviews to see just how helpful American Auto Shipping can be.
