Shipping your vehicle for the first time can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re relocating, purchasing a car from out of state, or sending a vehicle to a family member, knowing what to expect makes the process much smoother. At Automotive Express, we’ve helped countless customers transport their vehicles safely and affordably. Here are our top tips for a stress-free car shipping experience:
1. Book Early
Auto transport carriers often fill up quickly, especially during peak moving seasons. Booking in advance gives you more options, better pricing, and ensures your spot is secured.
2. Choose the Right Transport Type
- Open Transport – More affordable and widely used.
- Enclosed Transport – Provides extra protection from weather and road debris, ideal for luxury or classic cars.
Decide which option fits your needs and budget.
3. Prepare Your Vehicle
Clean your car inside and out, remove personal belongings, and take photos of its condition before pickup. This helps ensure transparency during the delivery process.
4. Be Flexible with Dates
Auto transport works with carrier schedules and routes, so having flexible pickup and delivery windows can save you time and money.
5. Work with a Trusted Company
The most important step is choosing a reliable transport provider. With Automotive Express, you can count on licensed, insured, and professional service from start to finish.
