Tips On Moving Your Classic Car
Most car shipping companies use open air transport and will visit several other locations during the trip to serve the needs of multiple customers.

If you need your car by a certain time discuss this with the route organizers. You may have to pay extra to ensure your car is available by a certain date.

On the other hand if you have no specific date in mind you may qualify for a reduced rate since it allows them greater flexibility in the shipping process which saves them money and effort.

Private shipping of a single vehicle or multiple vehicles to one location is available to those who need it but is, of course, more expensive.

Make sure to carefully review the insurance plan that will cover your car during transport and carefully record the condition of your car prior to shipping. Take photographs to show both good condition and any previous damage to your cars exterior. Make sure to remove any temporary additions that may fall off or be damaged in transit as well as any personal items that may be lost or stolen. Your car may need to travel through bad weather, such as hail, so take the time to cover it in case of this possibility. Make sure your cars alarms and safety features are switched off and note any particulars about operating it in case movers need to drive it for any reason, such as a breakdown and switching of trucks in mid transit.
Classic cars require special attention during shipping since they represent a greater investment of time and money than regular off the line vehicles do. You might consider hiring a company that specializes in enclosed car shipping or that use large freight containers. There may be extra cost involved but this is often acceptable if it ensures the safety of your classic or specially altered vehicle.

Be prepared for the possibility that damage is sustained despite efforts to ship safely. Usually this damage will have been unavoidable and will be covered by the insurance policy of the moving company. The shipping company can probably help you locate a repair center that specializes in the type of damage sustained that also has experience working with classic cars.
