Direct Carrier Auto Transport Quotes: What Are They?
When you need to ship your car, the first thing you have to do is find some direct carrier auto transport quotes. These are price quotes (or rates) that you get directly from the auto transport carrier. More often than not, you will actually be getting quotes from a brokerage which helps calculate each route and rate. The carriers, or the trucks, are much too busy driving to calculate and arrange their own shipments.
Direct Carrier Auto Transport Quotes: What Information Do You Need to Get them?
You will only need your basic information in order to get direct carrier auto transport quotes. Of course you will need your pick up city and your drop off city. Or where you car is being picked up and where it is being taken to. Secondly, you will need to know the exact dates you will need your car to be picked up and dropped off on.
Due to unforeseen delays such as weather, traffic or road accidents your car may not be picked up or dropped off on the exact dates. However, it will not be more than two days off. You will also need to give your full name, phone number and e-mail. If you are uncomfortable giving out your personal information, you can rest assure that the collector of your direct carrier auto transport quotes will not give your information out to anyone.

Direct Carrier Auto Transport Quotes: How Do You Get The Best Deal?
Your direct carrier auto transport quotes will vary slightly or greatly. While it may be tempting to pick a company with the lowest price, it shouldn’t be. A very low price is a bad sign when it comes to auto shipping. Instead, you should consider picking a company with a price in the middle range.
Then you should call your top two or three companies and talk to them directly. Sometimes the price quote is an exact price, but more often than not it is an estimate. When you call the company, they may add on extra service fees or claim the rate has changed. So, don’t consider the price finalized until you speak directly with the company.
