10 Tips

1. Compare prices and offers

• The first thing you need to find is a suitable Transporter. You need to first narrow your options to those that suit your budget. However, this does not mean that you should always choose the cheapest one.

Just keep the cost in mind.

2. Find the carrier’s reputation

• Once you have a list of vendors that fit your budget, you need to check their reputations online. Because if you ended up saving money but having a long delay in delivery of the vehicle or it is damaged, then it’s definitely not worth it, is it? Check out the reviews!

3. Confirm your license to practice

• Each country have different requirements for carriers. Make sure they have the necessary responsibility for transporting cars, especially if you are a dealer and need to transport more than one vehicle or if it is very expensive, go to their headquarters if possible and meet them up close !

4. Ask about the different transport options

• If you have an antique or very expensive car, ask your carrier how to get additional insurance or even better private transportation, closed vehicle transportation, or if you’re in a hurry to move faster for an additional charge.

5. Document the transport of your car in writing

• Before transporting your car and in the presence of the carrier, take a video, take photos of your vehicle, make sure you know the existing damage to your car, sign both the receipt / delivery paper, so both sides will avoid a bad luck during the trip.

6. Check several times that your car is empty

• There are many legal reasons why a serious carrier will ask you to leave your car empty. It is a matter of security and responsibility. You certainly do not want to risk your personal belongings being lost or damaged by temperature or border controls. When they say to you lightly, “put whatever you want in the car,” then DEFINITELY something is not right with this carrier.

7. Transportation “outside your door” is not always possible

• The customer must understand that the train cars have a volume and a length of 20 meters. Most of the time it is impossible for him to deliver your car outside your door, either because it is forbidden or because he cannot turn around,also natural disasters can be a risk of damage on your car. You will get in touch with the company’s drivers so that they can be delivered as close to you as possible. You have to understand and be patient!

8. TRANSPORTED LOAD INSURANCE !!!

• Perhaps the most important of all, is to ask your carrier, to send you the papers from cargo insurance.
