Tips for Shipping a Car
Here are some tips to help ensure that your transaction goes as smoothly as possible.
- Get knowledgeable about the car shipping / auto transport business. Start with our Car Shipping Basics and our Car Transport FAQ page.
- If you are importing or exporting a vehicle and you've never done so before, there's a fair amount of information you need to be aware of. See our International Care Shipping page for a discussion and links to more information.
- Get multiple estimates. Go Car Transport can get you multiple FREE estimates from car shipping companies and for international car shippers.
- Consider the options available with the car shipping company, like enclosed and open carrier shipping. Additional information on common car shipping options is available on our car shipping options page.
- If you are shipping an antique, classic, exotic or other special type of car, considering paying extra to ship the car in an enclosed container. It can also pay to hire an auto transporter who specializes in taking care of these types of specialty vehicles. See our antique car shipping page for more information.
- Check into both the insurance offered by the car shipping company and with your auto insurance agent to find out about coverages and deductibles. See our Auto Shipping Insurance page for details.
