| 9. What if damage should occur? The majority of car transport experiences are worry-free, with your damage-free vehicle arriving at the estimated time. On occasion, a vehicle may become damaged in transit. If this should happen, note all damage on your inspection report (see item above), obtain the driver's signature, and contact your car transport company. The car transport company should then work with you to reimburse you for verifiable damage done to your car. 10. What are the different trailer types? In order to ship your car to your new home most efficiently and cost-effectively, it's important to know about different shipping techniques, such as open and closed trailers. The model of the car you have, and the destination where you will transport it, will help determine whether you need an open or closed trailer. What is an Open Trailer? An open trailer is the more popular and the more frequently used trailer. They carry anywhere from 10-12 vehicles at a time. Advantages: Open trailers are cheaper than closed trailers. Price is determined by the weight of the vehicle being shipped. Disadvantages: Open trailers will be subject to the elements of nature. (i.e. rain, snow, wind, dirt and dust). What is a Closed Trailer? A closed trailer is a vehicle that has a covered freight area. It is most commonly used when shipping an expensive or classic car that you wish to protect. If your car will be traveling cross-country and going through some dry and desert territory, you may consider using a closed trailer to protect it from wind blown sand and heat. If the vehicle is not being shipped through extreme climates, consider using an open trailer. Advantages: The car is well protected from the elements of nature. Disadvantages: Closed trailers cost more. Remember, price is determined by the weight of the vehicle being shipped. Tips: Remove all valuables from the car, leave as little gas as possible in the gas tank for weight and safety purposes, and always insure your car, just in case it gets damaged. |
