Research auto transportation companies. Vehicle transportation can be expensive but you will also need to research their dependability along with their price quotes. It is best if you can get a referral from someone you know but many websites list ratings of these companies. It is a good idea to call these companies to find out their prices, as their websites may list general prices but not include many hidden fees.
Decide on the moving company you want to use. Go through all the details with them. Ask them if they provide door-to-door service or if you will you need to arrange transportation to their storage facilities. Choose their insurance plan that is right for you or contact your own auto insurance company to work out an arrangement.
Clear all your personal belongings out of your car. You do not want to lose them, and the moving company may have rules against transporting personal belongings. The moving company should give you detailed instructions on the condition you should leave your car in. If they have not, contact them and get the information. Inspect your car for any previous damage. Take pictures.
Arrange the pick up or drop off of your car. Upon release to the moving company, you should inspect your car with the moving company's agent. You should both agree upon the condition of your car. Sign the necessary papers and pay the agreed upon amount. Many auto transportation companies require that you pay half of the cost upon release of the car, some require you pay the full amount.
Retrieve your car on the day of delivery. If you cannot be there, you should arrange a trusted contact to pick it up for you. They may need to pay the remainder of the bill upon pick up. Have them inspect your car to make sure no damage was done to it along the trip.
