Making your Choice of Car Transport Companies

Making your Choice of Car Transport Companies

At first glance, it might seem like there are few differences between car transport companies. After all, they provide the same service: auto transport. The difference, however, is how they provide that service. One key difference between car transport companies is whether it is a broker or a carrier.

A broker is a mediator between the client and the auto transport service. Their job is to handle the logistics by matching the client and the services needed to the right auto transport company. For example, if you’re looking to transport multiple vehicles, high-end luxury vehicles, or to store something inside the vehicle while it’s being transported. A broker would take all the details about your move and find a car transport company capable of meeting your expectations.

Some other factors a broker would consider are how far your car is being shipped and whether or not you need to pick up and drop off services. Hiring a broker will save you a great deal of stress as they do all the shopping around for you. If you are short on time or have other details that require your attention, hiring a broker might be worth the added cost. All you need to do is provide them with a list of your transport needs and a budget. This typically shouldn’t take too long as auto transport brokers usually have close professional relationships with many car transport companies. They usually get paid in the form of a deposit they would collect from you which would be included in the total cost of car transport services.

On the other hand, a carrier is a business that does the job of transporting your vehicle. When you take on the task of finding your own car transport company, you act as your broker and will need to reach out to multiple carriers and do your comparisons.

This might save you some money but it typically doesn’t save you any time. Carriers are their own business and own their vehicles so there aren’t usually any added or hidden costs associated with the price they would quote to you. What’s more, carriers usually come with their insurance policy giving you peace of mind that whatever you’re shipping will be protected from point A to point B.

Usually, the deciding factor will come down to 2 things- price and customer service. Fortunately for the consumer, the auto transport industry is quite competitive and auto transport companies will go above and beyond to make their customers happy and can sometimes even offer price matching if you are willing to act as your broker.
