The auto shipping proves by its rapid expansion that it is an efficient and safe industry with which to do business. At the same time along the way the industry has accumulated valuable experience with regard to technology and methods of operation.
It also means, however, that many new independent companies are eager to compete. It does not mean, however, that all of them have the experience, the resources, nor even the decency to ensure safe auto shipping. In many cases, as in any other business industry, many of the numerous existing auto shipping companies are simply the result of an increasingly commercialized society. Business today is the prevalent survival style and many people are eager to start a company, whether because they really are competent to do so or because they are simply incapable of doing anything else.
Some of these businesses will prevail despite all odds, but many will fail because they refuse to learn the business or understand the capitalization required for success in the business. Those few that remain because of luck and some beneficial ties rather than true business acumen will hang on as long as they can given the competition but undoubtedly will not remain in business very long.
Moreover, new companies which will soon close are not always easy to detect. Their self-presentation and the prices may convince you that they are dependable. But the last thing you want to do is to trust a company which promises a terrific deal but delivers your car late to the wrong terminal, with property stolen, leaving you to discover that you have not insured the trip against damage and theft.
Do not ship your auto at the last minute without careful planning. Last minute planning will not ensure the vehicle's safety. Plan several months ahead of the time required to ship so you will have the time to research the market.
It is preferable to plan the shipping well in advance also because it will allow you to book your order well in advance. Even large companies are pressed for time: urgent orders mean very high prices, even if the job is simple, simply because the company personnel will have to go out of their way to complete your order. The more time you give your chosen company the more likely they are to do the job thoroughly and with care, while offering you reasonable prices.
There is no business in the world that desires to decline a customer's business. Watch out for those that will take on your business even if they know they know they can't do a competent job. If you wait until the last minute to book your shipment, the urgency required will incur more risk of damage to your vehicle and delayed shipment.
Moreover, make sure to check their MC license and their Insurance Certificate. Review the insurance carefully to make sure that it adequately covers your car.
The customer service and attitude towards it's clients is the mark of a competent shipping company. They should be willing to do just about anything to gain your trust, including allowing you to inspect any pertinent documentation. They should be good at uncovering your unique requirements and help you to meet them. If you find that a company does not want to show documentation, answer questions, or give you solid advice, find another one who will.
