Are you getting ready to take a long trip and don’t want to drive your own car? This is when having a company transport your car comes in handy. But, how do you know for sure who you can trust and more importantly how do you select a company that is more equipped to safely and securely relocate you vehicle and have it arrive in one piece? So the answer to that is very easy and here is why I can say that.
You know that really, it doesn’t matter if you’re transporting a regular ordinary car or you have something very fancy and expensive, people in general just want to have their possessions taken care of if they are paying for that kind of service. So to know what you can expect to get you first have to know what to look for form auto shippers. You do have several options, but since we are talking about hiring a company to take that road trip instead of you we’ll talk about that version.
Shipping your vehicle can make sense and hiring a good auto transporter to do it can make the process even easier for yourself. You can hire private auto transporters which are just like any other door to door moving company; they arrange to pick up your car at a convenient time for you, load it onto a truck and deliver it wherever you tell them to. That sounds simple and easy enough right. Don’t be so fooled.
Make sure that that the particular company you just hired is registered and insured with the state department and make you keep in contact with that company. A good clue in making sure that a company is a bit more offering in the “state of the art” department when it comes to good communication is that they have their trucks equipped with satellite tracking systems that you can log into and track where your car is at all times.
Make sure that the driver of the shipping truck is carrying a cell phone with him or them. Just in case you are not near a computer you need to still be able to track the truck. Get the driver’s number, either from them or the company before you ship your car. This way you’ll always be in contact with your vehicle.
When you’re trying to stay on budget, keep in mind that some vehicles obviously cost more to transport than others. Size and weight are a huge factor in cost. To save some money on your trip doesn’t fill up the gas tank. Some people think that they are doing themselves a favor so that they don’t have to bother with it when you get to where you are going in fear that gas prices might be higher. It’s a good idea to keep all fluids low to save on the weight of the car. That will save you a lot of money.
Another good tip is for you to removing all objects from the outside of the car as well as things you left sitting in the car. This will ensure that nothing shifts during shipping and damages the interior. Do you have any idea how much poultry costs to repair? Believe me, it’s a lot. More importantly so that anything exposed doesn’t get stolen. Always get your quotes in writing. Ask for a binding estimate or a not to exceed estimate. That will save you some money as well.

There is an online auto transporter terminal (towing company) directory at TerminalHub.com. I'm not sure what you'll need to do to get listed within they're network, but it looks like a great way to break into the industry.
If it's a luxury or exotic vehicle – you should definitely try High End Tranport – they use enclosed carriers and do door to door. They are priced well and take great care of the car. Give them a try.
Mine, I own Go Auto Transport LLC of Chattanooga, TN. You can contact me at kozich2003@yahoo.com.
A broker needs a DOT license the same as any trucking company. Do a google search and get the info on-line. It's a tuff racket that is loaded with pitfalls like non-paying deadbeats, etc.
I was in the biz in the late 80's/early 90's and quit cuz i was sick of millionaires owing me $$$.
New York state is one of the most popular state for auto transporting.
Some of the Top 10 Most Popular State-To-State Auto Transport Routes are as follows:
1. CA to FL
2. FL to CA
3. CA to TX
4. NY to FL
5. NY to CA
….
7. CA to NY
9. FL to NY
So four of the most popular ten include NY.
If you are looking to work only NY to NY then the numbers drop off significantly. NY to NY falls at about 120 on the list.
I hope this is helpful. Good luck in your venture.

Uship.com gets the deposit fee. I must say that the system they use to make money is very clever. It is free to post listings on the auto transport board. However when you register with uship.com you must put a credit card on file. This credit card will be charged once you accept a bid from a transporter/service provider. So to break it down, Uship.com is an auto transport broker without doing any auto transport broker work. The service provider bids on your vehicle transport job. When the bid is placed a tier fee is deducted out of the total transport cost. So lets say you receive a bid for $650 to transport your car from NY to Miami. Out of that $650 uship.com will take $130 and leave the truck driver with $520. This may be a little off because there deposit fee system is very complex. Most auto transport brokers charge $150-200 which is almost reasonable if you are not in the auto transport industry. I can at least say a good broker would be a better choice because they probably worked with the truck driver that would transport your car if you choose them. To pay $130 for a service that you have no clue about is not worth it. Nothing too bad can happen if you go through a uship.com provider. The worst thing could be giving a deposit to the truck driver and never hearing from them again. I have seen many complaints like this as of recent. If damage is to occur on your vehicle through a uship provider uship.com will not help. At least a good broker will hopefully try to solve the problem. I just feel the amount uship.com receives is not worth the support that you will not get from them. My site charges $15 to post your vehicle load straight to the transport truck versus $130+ for the same service or less. You can checkout any registered transporter's qualifications at http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx . If you do not feel capable dealing with the transporter/truck driver directly then just go through an auto transport broker or email us at yourtransportboard@gmail.com. We do not mean to bash uship.com so hard but this is the truth and that is how a lot of people along with myself feel. Uship.com hurts the blue collar transport industry and takes business away from hard working people that actually provide a good service. Thanks,
Probably about $1,000. You can go to the auto transporters web sites and they will give you a quote.
