If you are looking to save some pennies, here are some hints for you: Ask about discounts. The two types of discounts that we offer are:
Look out for the busiest months. In case you can afford to choose the time of your move, watch out for the busiest time of the year - between June and September. During these months the car transport demand is so generous that carriers can safely raise their price. Try the slow season, between November and February, when the scarce number of demands will convince the carriers to accept lower fees. Go terminal to terminal - but be careful! With some companies a terminal to terminal option will save you the money otherwise used to cover the cost of accessing residential areas. However, this option can easily turn into a more expensive one. This is because the terminals may charge daily storage fees that can easily go out of control, if you do not synchronize well with the time of delivery or pick-up. In many cases, the terminal to terminal option does end up more costly and definitely more troublesome. This is why our services are generally door to door. We feel that the fewer people handling your vehicle the better. However, if you prefer terminal to terminal car transport, we can make arrangements to accommodate your demands. Go open An open transport is a safe enough way to transport your car so that you receive your car in the same condition as when you handed it over. Using an enclosed carrier adds to this guarantee (and also speeds up the transit time), but at a price about 70% higher. It is up to you to decide which solution gives you more peace of mind. We'll accomodate you either way. Be lenient with the pick-up and delivery dates Requesting a next-day or 1-day pick up may spice up the price a little. Why? Since a car carrier may not be available for that particular date, your car must be sheltered in a safe place until the carrier will be able to pick it up. However, the car terminals require a one-time fee, and more often than not a daily storage fee, that can add up easily, hence the slightly higher cost. As for a certain delivery date, no one can guarantee it in good conscience. The delivery time depends on the particular route (stops in between), road/weather conditions, etc. However, we can estimate this date within a window of 3 days, and you will be contacted by the carrier before delivery. Give your shipping agent enough time The earlier you contact the car shipping agent, the more guarantees you have that a good price can be negotiated with the actual car carriers. Although booking one week before the date you want your car picked-up may be enough in the slow season, 2 to 3 weeks are necessary for arrangements in the peak season (June-Sept.). Plan ahead and avoid paying more in order to find a place on our carriers' trucks. |
