However, before making any decisions there are a few things you need to consider when shipping a luxury/classic vehicle. Read on to find out the key factors to remember within this specialised car transport:
When choosing the transportation company who will move your vehicle it is important that you perform thorough research and due diligence. Checking their reviews from previous clients and ensuring they have experience moving luxury or vintage vehicles is imperative to help you decide if they are the right company to be moving your prized possession. Truckit.net makes this choice easy as we offer a platform that lets you view quotes and previous client feedback from transport companies all in one place.
As your luxury or classic car is most likely a very cherished item it is important when you want interstate car transport that you consider all of the options available. The most common mode of transport for shipping cars is open car carriers, however, this may not be the best option for your classic/luxury car. While this service is often a more affordable option it leaves your vehicle exposed to the elements and any debris that may be along the route. To protect your car from dangers like stone chips and dirt it may be prudent to choose an enclosed car service. For even further safeguarding you also may want to consider a single level enclosed trailer as this allows your vehicle to be the only one being transported. This option will ensure no damage will occur to your vehicle in the unlikely event that other cars on the upper levels spring oil leaks.
Other less common vehicle transport methods include via ship and aeroplane. These options are more frequently used on long distance and international trips, however, if this is your preference here's a few things you should know:
The type of service provided will be stated with all quotes supplied by providers on Truckit.net and you can confirm this with them using the messaging service available on the platform. When creating the listing you can also request that providers issue quotes with enclosed car services only in the ‘other details’ section.
A key consideration when booking your luxury vehicle transport is the type and extent of insurance on offer. While most interstate car transport companies will have their own insurance it is important that you ensure their policy covers the cost of your vehicle and any extras such as electronics you may have added to your vehicle. If these aren’t covered you may need to consider getting additional insurance for peace of mind. Truckit.net does have a partnership with National Transport Insurance where customers can purchase insurance when booking, however, this only covers goods up to the value of $50000. As your classic car is likely worth more than this we do recommend ensuring you have the correct coverage by connecting with an insurance broker which can be done here.
Before handing over your vehicle to an interstate car transport company make sure to do the following few things to ensure the process goes smoothly. You should always make sure your vehicle is empty of all personal belongings and both the interior and exterior of the car is clean. A record of the condition of your vehicle should also be made prior to your car transport to avoid any complications if an insurance claim needs to be made. This will require you to take photos of every part of the vehicle, noting any marks that may already be on the surface. This is merely a precaution as you most likely won’t need this inventory, however it is always better to be safe than sorry. As most major car companies don’t take vehicles with any mechanical issues, be sure to do a quick maintenance check on the battery, tire pressure and fluid levels. Also disable any alarms and if your vehicle has any quirks be certain to let your car movers know. If your car has been purchased from an auction site you will also have to provide the transport company documents certifying that they have the authority to pick the vehicle up on your behalf. Any additional steps that need to be taken prior to your vehicle transport will be communicated to you by the car transport service upon booking confirmation - so be sure to be checking your emails.
It is important you keep these factors in mind when making a decision on interstate car transport for your vehicle as they define what level of service you will receive. Click here to get a quote to move your luxury or classic car today!
A new feature was recently launched on Truckit.net that allows Customers to Offer a price to Providers to instantly accept.
