When Russia recently launched a unique new brand of sports cars the super-car world was surprised. A popular pet female given Russian name and a play on the English word "Russia", Marussia was coyly christened. It was manufactured in limited numbers and released in two models, B1 and B2.
It requires careful auto shipping as it is now a collector's item: being battered by hail, handled roughly, or brutally exploited is something you do not want for this baby while you're not present.
How then to make sure your Marussia gets from Moscow to Minneapolis in one virgin piece? The basic things to consider is how to choose an auto shipping company, which truck type to use, which service to order, and insurance.
Regarding companies, don't just plump for the first company you come by. The best way is to prefer perhaps costly but well known companies, trusted names you heard or read about. There are many obscure businesses out there, often on their way to sure bankruptcy, posing as experts but merely looking to swindle you out of as much money as they can before they close. Do not develop paranoia either - there are plenty of decent and reasonable services out there. Do some research, see which companies get the most references and recommendations, ask around.
Open and closed carriers are you choices when it comes to trucks. Hauling vehicles within or between cities open carriers can often be seen, they are often used and numerous. The cost is more with closed carrier shipping but the brand of car and the distance it is to travel need to be taken into consideration. Using a closed carrier is better for an exotic car; it prevents exposure to harmful elements and hides your car from prying eyes.
Next you need to decide if you prefer to drop off the vehicle at a company terminal or you want the truck to pick it up from your place. From the terminal it may take the car much longer to be shipped and when it reaches its destination terminal it must be picked up by the owner, it's a slower and more aggravating service. Having the car picked up from your garage is better. The mileage and any pre-existing damage can be checked by you and the driver, this way when the car is delivered to your destination any damage not on the signed list will be the responsibility of the company. Door to door shipping is provided by most companies.
For each vehicle transport, cargo insurance is offered by the companies. While the car is being handled by the company any damage will be compensated. A minimum of $800,000 for liability insurance is usually arranged for by trucking companies, this takes care of a large number of handled cargo.
Lasting companies that are good make sure you are insured and do not find it profitable to endanger the property of their clients. When even so much as a hint of reluctance to offer adequate insurance or mentioning is neglected by some fishy organization, beware.
