Many of us could dispense with a car mover, because transporting your car requires only time and patience to do the research and the hard work before you move. Even if you"re moving inter-state.
Here"s how you do it, and save yourself the car mover fees.
First, plan the time it will take. You will need some time. How much? It might take a month, so plan on four or five weeks.
Next, decide how you want to move the car. The cheapest way will be to hire a driver. That comes with some obvious risks, because the driver might not be professional and there could be small damage to your car as it moves across the state, stopping for refreshments where necessary, and pounding over long stretched os highway.
If you vote against a driver, then you need to consider if you want shipping on a truck or in a container and using a depot-to-depot service, or door-to-door. The second will cost you more, of course.
If you elect to move your car on a vehicle the trucking business you hire will use either a specialized vehicle or simply take spare space on a standard one. And then there are further alternatives such as open deck or inside a van, a purpose-built box or an adapted shipping container. Your choice at this point is wide and varied.
If you decide to shift your car on another vehicle then the trucking business might use a specialized vehicle or use spare space on a standard truck. And if you choose a standard truck, then there are a number of ways to secure it. For instance, you could sit it on an open deck or inside a van, or put it in a specially built box (if it"s an unusually shaped car, for instance) or inside a standard shipping container. Plenty of options here.
While you"re thinking about this, you need to check the background and insurance details of the car mover you"re considering.
And then it"ll be moving day!
There are only a couple of things to do the day before you move. Small things, like leaving the tank nearly empty, taking out valuables, or small items that will move around, giving the car a clean.
Lastly, when will the mover come for the move? And at the other end, when will it be dropped off? Which payments or papers will need to be handed over on delivery? Simple things that will make the move more pleasant for you..
