If you are a first time user of car transport services you may feel uneasy and unsure of what you are getting yourself and your car into. But we would like to bust a few myths for you so you can sort through truth from what isn’t true and choose the best company possible to transport your car.
Myth 1: The only factor in the cost of auto shipping is the distance.
Yes, distance is a definite factor involved with the cost of auto shipping but it isn’t the only factor.
In the involvement of cost calculation there are three main influences.
- Distance: Depending on how far off of the driver’s route you are there will be extra charges.
- Accessibility: If you live in a location that isn’t accessible for the driver then you will be looking at a higher price then a customer in the same city but more convenient area.
- Flexibility: If you book far enough in advance to be flexible with your dates then your price will most likely be less since your car shipping agent will not have to make additional arrangements to accommodate your request.
So although you feel that the distance of your request isn’t that great you still have to take in consideration the other factors that go into the decision of cost of your auto transport.
Myth 2: The car transport industry is full of crooks that can’t be trusted.
Yes, like any industry out there, there are dishonest people who are just trying to scam you and cheat you out of your hard earned money. But not all auto transport companies are in the business of lying.
That is why it is important to find a company that is BBB-accredited. This shows you that this company follows regulations set forth by the Better Business Bureau and will show you any customer complaints.
You should also use other customer review websites such as Yelp to see how people just like you feel about the company that you are considering doing business with.
Don’t trust the first company you stumble upon. Do your research and find a company that is trusted by others and follows a set of regulations and guidelines.
