There are several important things to look at when you are searching for a good company to transport your vehicle. When searching for a quote, the best thing you can do is research each company on the Better Business Bureau. Like many things in life, you get what you pay for, and doing your homework on the companies you are considering will help you discover their reputation. It is important to not only look if their rating is satisfactory or not, but also check the number of complaints received in the last 36 months. This will allow you to properly predict if they take care of their customers.

Another important point to consider when looking for an auto transport company is whether the prospective company is asking for you to prepay a deposit or not. Often we receive calls from people who have paid a deposit to a company that didn’t pick up their car and won’t give them back their deposit. Typically these companies who require a deposit also have the “best rate.” However, what they tend to do is sub contract your car at a price lower than the expected rate. This simply means that the car becomes the last priority to the trucker and if he finds a better paying car will simply cancel your car and take another one leaving you waiting. To prevent this from happening, your best two options for payment are either to pay a deposit after the vehicle is loaded on the truck and the balance to the driver on delivery, or pay the entire amount on delivery. Either way is totally acceptable and safe, after your vehicle is on the truck he is responsible to deliver.
