Request Free  Auto Shipping Quotes.

By Miguel Martin

When you request free auto shipping quotes from several companies, you want to receive the total cost so that you will not be surprised by hidden fees that you had not been aware of. In order to receive the correct cost you will need to provide the company with the following information:

·                                  The city of origin and the destination

·                                 An approximate date that you want the car shipped

·                                 The type of vehicle – whether it is a car, truck, convertible, etc.

·                                 The type of transport you want – door-to-door or terminal pickup

·                                 The method of shipping – open or enclosed

If the auto shipping quotes do not give details on the method of pricing, such as whether they determine the cost based on weight, you will have to ask, as some companies use different methods of pricing. 

There is no cost involved for receiving a quote, so you can request quotes from as many companies as you wish. This is very simple because you can do this all from your own computer, when you get a break from packing boxes. You don’t have to go out and visit all the different companies to get quotes. The shipping companies that have an online presence have the request for quote forms on the website. They usually respond to these requests within 24 hours and then you can compare all the different quotes to get the best price. 

When you look for free  auto shipping quotes, you should focus on reputable companies that have experience in the vehicle shipping business. There are many fly-by-night companies that might go out of business while they are in possession of your car and then you might have to incur an extra cost to get the car delivered. You should carefully research the background of the company and read the testimonials of satisfied clients.

About Motorcycle Shipping.

By Miguel Martin

Motorcycle shipping is often necessary when you move to another location or you purchase a bike from a site on the Internet. Different companies have different regulations concerning motorcycle shipping. You may have to drain the oil and gas out of the bike or disconnect the battery. Some companies ship the bike by enclosing it in pallets while others will ship it standing upright. When it is shipped in the latter fashion, it is held in place by ratchet straps connected to soft ties. You don’t have to worry about these ties damaging your bike as soft terrycloth is used to protect any surfaces that come in contact with them. 

Before you sign any contract with a motorcycle shipping company, you should obtain at least three quotes from different companies for the total cost as their may be fees that you won’t find out about until you have to make the payment. You also have to be sure of the type of transportation you want for the bike because if you require a large truck, it may involve researching city codes for the street you live on. Many cities do not allow large trucks on certain residential streets. In this case, you may have to make arrangement to pick up the bike at a terminal owned by the company. 

When you are ready you have to so certain preparations for the motorcycle. Shipping companies often require that the oil and gas is drained from the bike and the battery is disconnected to avoid any accidents along the way. You should wash the bike and take careful note of the shape it is in, making a note of any dents or scratches, if there are any. You should not leave any personal items in the storage compartments, as the companies do not assume responsibility for the safety of these items. All movable parts on the bike should be secured and if it contains an alarm, you have to turn it off. When you receive the bike at the destination, inspect it carefully to ensure it has arrived in the same condition it was in when it left your care.
