At great expense you have finally customized that Classic Bentley and have taken it gingerly on the road to show it off to all the world. Or perhaps it’s that vintage Silver Shadow. But now you have to ship that precious and unique classic auto, and you have no idea how to go about it. You certainly don’t want to drive that rolling money pit thousands of miles away yourself, and teleporting isn’t here yet.
Though not supernatural, auto shipping companies are there to perform just the service you need, and they will do so in a safe and reliable manner. Your gorgeous investment in love and money is guaranteed to arrive at its new home in one piece and as lovely as the day you took it to the carrier.
You want to find a carrier with experience. It is not likely that you have been in this situation before, so you and even your acquaintances won’t immediately know of any reliable shipping companies. You need to either go online or locate a professional broker. Most companies will have a website, whether old and established or new and vigorous.
Just like buying any other service, you need to shop around. Make sure you understand their terms and all the services they provide. Make sure they understand the quality and type of car you are asking them to ship for you. You want a company with experience in shipping expensive one of kind vehicles. Pore over the carriers insurance coverage and policies so you are confident your baby will be thoroughly protected.
If you opt for an open carrier, make sure they understand your car must be on the top tier, to keep it safer from possible vandalism or theft. On the down side, the upper deck is more prone to exposure to harsh weather, vermin, and any road debris that may be flying high along open roads.
Ideally, you will choose a carrier with a closed trailer and one who is able to ship it immediately to its destination with no layovers in either their garage or some other company’s. This may cost you because you are asking that the carrier leave immediately without waiting for its usual minimal load before it takes off. If you don’t do this however, the company will take your car to a storage lot to await more traveling companions, thus increasing the odds of theft and bodily harm.
You will of course not add to the shipment any of your personal belongs for transport. It is a good idea to remove all customizations that can be taken off the vehicle and those that cannot should be thoroughly documented.
The fuel tank should only be holding the minimum to get it to the carrier and then off the carrier to its journey’s end. You don’t want any excess weight. That will up the price. Before you and your car part company, go over it with a fine tooth comb and note in writing even the smallest of dings, if any. And of course, after washing the beauty, on a clear day, take pictures from all angles with a digital camera and date them.
