Why choose a luxury car?

Luxury cars have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their combination of style, comfort, performance, and convenience. Luxury cars come with the latest top-of-the-line technologies, such as lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control, making driving easier and safer.

They also provide a smoother ride on long journeys due to features like enhanced suspension systems, higher stability, and greater agility. Other comforts make the experience even more enjoyable, with features like heated seats, ambient lighting, and a high-end audio system. Plus, the exterior look of a luxury car can add class to anyone’s image.

What is luxury car shipping?

Luxury car shipping is designed for shipping high-end vehicles nationwide and internationally. Whether an expensive sports car, an antique collector’s item, or an important business investment, luxury car shipping provides added security to ensure your vehicle arrives safely. 

Specialized carriers offer secure enclosures and climate-controlled transportation that protect your expensive car from damage or theft during its journey. Furthermore, some experienced logistics agents also help guide you through the entire process and ensure all paperwork is in order at each stop.

Why consider luxury car shipping?

Increased safety

Shipping a vehicle, especially a luxury car, is a challenging task. Negotiating the roads and highways often involves additional time, risks of wear and tear as well as potential danger. A luxury car shipping company can decrease those factors and increase overall safety regarding transportation needs.

With their experience, efficient methods, and commitment to quality customer service, luxury car shipping companies offer peace of mind that the vehicle will get from point A to point B safely with no damage.

Door-to-door delivery

This service can help you save time and energy. Rather than worrying about how to get your luxury car from point A to point B, a reliable luxury car shipping company will go directly to your desired destination, quickly and efficiently getting your vehicle there without any need for additional effort on your part.

A large network of carriers

One of the greatest benefits of using a luxury car shipping company is its expansive network of carriers. This allows them to pinpoint the best routes for your car, ensuring it receives the safest and most reliable transport available.

Their network comprises national, regional, local, intrastate and international carriers with years of experience transporting luxury vehicles. With this access to the leading carriers in the business, you can be sure that your car will receive excellent care during transit to arrive at its destination in pristine condition.

Insurance

One advantage of choosing this type of service is that the luxury car shipping company will be adequately insured, so in the unlikely event that something does happen, the customer is adequately protected.

Varied transportation options

With luxury car shipping companies, you can be sure you receive various transportation options. This is beneficial for several reasons. Their options are tailored to fit your specific needs so your vehicle will arrive safely at its intended destination. This is especially useful if you have different types of luxury vehicles.

How to ship your luxury car

Enclosed Auto Transport

Enclosed shipping provides exclusive protection when transporting valuable cars. Through enclosed transport, luxury cars are well-secured with covers and special blocks to resist any weathering or harsh conditions during the journey.

Open Auto Transport 

Open auto transport is another option for shipping luxury cars. The vehicle is monitored and checked constantly during the journey to mitigate possible damage. Each luxury car is safely strapped inside individual compartments to prevent them from moving or scratching each other.

How to find the right company to ship your luxury car

Consider experience

When choosing a company to ship your car, experience is critical. Choosing somebody with enough knowledge to ensure that your car arrives safely and on time is of the utmost importance. 

It’s essential to research the company’s background to gauge how much experience they have handling similar customer requests in the past. Reviews from previous customers can also help you understand their overall service and how reliable and trustworthy they are.

Additionally, experienced companies should be forthcoming about every aspect of the process so you can make sure all your expectations are being met.

Costs

A vital factor to consider when selecting a car shipping company is the total estimated cost of the shipping service. Many companies offer significant negotiations and discounts when calculating individual costs depending on the weight and size of your vehicle, but be sure to double-check details so you can be certain of what rate you are paying.

Ask whether fuel charges and terminal handling fees are included in your estimate to understand what you will be charged at the end. Look out for hidden fees that could drive up the overall price of delivery.

Timeline

Finding a reliable and safe automobile transporter who can deliver your car on time is essential. It’s a good idea to get an estimated pick-up date and delivery date from the company so you know how long it will take for the vehicle to reach its destination.

Ask about additional fees or charges for late drop-off and pick-up times to ensure you budget accordingly. By taking all this into account, you can ensure that your car will be shipped promptly with minimal disruption to your plans.

Carrier options

When choosing a company to ship your car with, it’s essential to research the range of carrier options available. Different carriers offer different benefits and services, so compare these carefully before deciding.

Some might be able to handle special requirements, such as oversized vehicles, while others may offer tracking services allowing you to stay informed while your car is in transit.  

Additionally, they may offer different rates and transit times depending on the location of pick-up and drop-off points and any additional costs associated with using their services. All these factors can help you decide which shipping company is right for your needs.

License and insurance

When considering a car shipping company, it’s important to ensure they have the proper license and insurance from relevant regulatory bodies.

Damage control response and plan

When considering a company to ship your car, it’s important to inquire about the steps they take to prevent and respond to damage. Companies should be able to provide information on their insurance policy, know the types of vehicles they move and deliver, and demonstrate effective communication with customers about potential damage or issues that may arise. 

Look for companies with a clear understanding and strategy for preventing damage and respond in a reliable and timely manner if an incident occurs.

How to prepare your luxury car for shipping

Prepare vehicle documents

Preparing your luxury vehicle for shipping requires you to provide certain documents verifying your vehicle’s ownership and registration.

Inspect the car

You must inspect the car thoroughly before shipping and ensure all necessary components are accounted for. Additionally, it is prudent to document everything you can do by taking photos of the car inside and out.

This will serve as proof in case any damage is sustained during transit. Make sure that these photographs are dated so there is proper documentation of the condition of your car before shipping.

Clean the car

A thorough cleaning should eliminate any dust and dirt which can cause damage to the car during shipping. Cleaning the car will also show you the car’s status before shipping, making it easier for you to notice in case any damage occurs during shipping. You can also consider removing any extra accessories on the car’s exterior to prevent damage.

Disable the alarm

This will prevent excessive honking and a triggered alarm while the car is in transit. 

Regular maintenance

If your car is operable, ensure it is well-maintained and functioning. Regular maintenance includes ensuring the tire pressure is okay, the battery is charged, noting car mileage, and many more. This is especially useful if you intend to drive a car. For an inoperable car, inform your carrier to help them prepare adequately.

Lock the car

It is important to lock your car to secure it. However, remember to avail the keys in case they are needed. 

Communicate

If you have any special requirements or instructions for your car for the shipping company, ensure you inform your carrier in good time so they can meet your needs. This might include issues like a specific shipping date or time, or if you have a preferred route you would like the car to take, be sure to let the shipping company know so they can accommodate your requests.

Cost of shipping a luxury car, and factors affecting the price

There are no fixed charges for shipping luxury vehicles. The average rates range from $2 per mile for short trips of up to 200 miles. For longer moves above 1000 miles, rates can go as low as $0.57 per mile. These prices also range from company to company and are based on the following factors:

Distance

Since luxury cars are often expensive, they require special care while in transport. Moving a vehicle over long distances can take longer and require extra precautions and attention, resulting in higher costs. In addition, remote locations which require faster delivery times may need extra resources to reach them, potentially increasing the price of shipping a luxury car.

Vehicle condition

Whether running or non-running, additional fees might apply to vehicles requiring additional transport assistance. Shipping a vehicle still in running condition tends to cost less because it does not require special handling.

However, shipping a non-running vehicle may come with added fees for loading and preparing it for transport. Knowing the condition of your car before transportation begins is an important factor in estimating the overall cost of shipping the vehicle.

Vehicle type

Premium vehicles such as high-end SUVs, sports cars, and exotic cars are considered valuable and fragile commodities, so extra care needs to be taken regarding their transportation. They may require more specialized equipment, such as ramps, tie-downs, and secure trailers, which may cause the cost of shipping to increase. As a result, different luxury car makes and models will have varying price tags when it comes time for them to be shipped.

Type of transport

Shipping a luxury vehicle can get expensive, but the cost largely depends on the type of transport chosen. Open-air car transporters are typically the most affordable, though they will expose your vehicle to dust and rain.

If you want to ensure that your vehicle arrives in pristine condition, an enclosed carrier is a better option. However, this came at a much higher cost due to its smaller size and increased safety features.

Similarly, specialized transportation services with priority delivery will charge additional fees if you’re looking for a more time-efficient service.

Shipping timeline

Depending on the urgency of a shipment, prices can increase significantly. For example, if customers require overnight delivery, they may have to pay rush charges and much higher rates for air or expedited ground transport. 

In addition, customs paperwork delays and other unpredictable situations can cause significant price increases.
