Can Moving Companies Transport Cars?
While there are a number of moving companies that can transport your car, requirements and standards differ markedly among carriers, so it’s best to do some research before choosing a company. And, of course, you should limit your search to carriers that are fully licensed and insured with a verifiable track record of transporting vehicles safely.
Keep in mind that for many moving companies there are a limited number of vehicles and a limited amount of weight that they can haul on each trip. Typically, the heavier the car, the more expensive it is to transport it. You may also want to consider the time of year you plan to have your car moved, as demand is usually highest in the summer and auto transport tends to cost more between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Another factor that affects cost is the distance traveled. As a rule of thumb, the longer the distance, the higher the cost.
In the case of specialty vehicles, such as luxury cars or classic cars, many companies can accommodate specialty shipping needs, but it will cost you more. You should ask your shipping coordinator about the options available for protecting your high-value shipments.
A reputable moving company should carry insurance, but if you’re looking for additional insurance, you may need to purchase a separate policy since not all auto insurance policies cover cars while they are being moved by a carrier. Be sure to ask your provider for your policy specifics before buying extra insurance.
