Your transport requirements can greatly impact the cost of having your auto transported. You can save significantly by choosing open transport instead of enclosed. Auto dealerships safely receive autos from open car carrier trailers every day. To save money we highly recommend this option unless you are shipping an irreplaceable antique, sports car, race car, or luxurious vehicle. Other important cost factors include the size, weight and type of car or truck. The body type such as full-size crossover, full-size car, off-road vehicle, sports coupe and roadster car you are shipping can also impact your rate. Typically, the larger the vehicles size, the higher the transport cost. If your vehicle has any non-standard accessories that have altered the length, width, or height of your vehicle they can also increase the cost of transport. Listed below are some of the non-standard accessories that can increase cost.

• Running boards
• 4 wheel drive
• Side steps
• Nerf bars
• Extended side mirrors
• Lift kits
• Oversized tires
• Running lights
• Roof rack

Colorado auto transport rates are calculated per mile and these rates change depending on the cost of fuel. Often you can save money by driving your auto to a shipping terminal and picking it up at another shipping terminal near your delivery address. This method can save you a lot of money but if you prefer or need the convenience of door to door delivery make sure that your pick-up and delivery addresses are both accessible by a commercial full-size tractor trailer. If the vehicle you are shipping is not operational this will significantly raise your rate. The time of year also affects the rates of the auto transport shipping carriers, summer is high season and the rates are increased. The method of payment you choose to use for your vehicle delivery can sometimes affect your rate, as some companies prefer COD. Most carriers accept COD and credit cards. Please check with the company first if you desire to pay with a check.

The best way to avoid any problems with your Colorado car shipping is by careful preparation. Remember that weight is important in calculating your rate. Do not use your vehicle as a method to ship other personal items and have only a quarter tank of gas or less in your vehicle at the time of pick up. Be sure that both your delivery and pick up addresses are correct. You can ship an inoperable vehicle, but it will be more expensive. Vehicles that are not steerable and/or do not have operable brakes will cost significantly more. You MUST inform the carrier of the vehicles condition and be prepared to pay a higher rate. Many drivers will not transport an inoperable vehicle if they have not been first notified.

When your vehicle is picked up you will complete a bill of lading. It is extremely important to accurately complete this document. You and the driver will inspect your vehicle and document any damage to the vehicle, such as scratches, dents, broken glass, etc. When you or your authorized representative receives your vehicle at the delivery location be sure that you, or they, carefully check the entire vehicle prior to signing the bill of lading. Failing to do this can make it very difficult if not impossible to receive compensation for any unfortunate damage. We carefully choose the best auto shipping carriers in the business but should any unexpected issue or problems come up you should definitely report them to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Maintaining open communication is the best method to assure a hassle-free vehicle delivery. Our Colorado trusted auto shipping partners will try to keep you in the loop every step of the way. Our affiliate carriers normally run as scheduled but sometimes road conditions, traffic issues, weather or other problems can impact scheduled times. Staying in contact with your driver can help eliminate any aggravation in the unlikely event your pick up or delivery time need to be adjusted.

When selecting door to door transport services, local road conditions can impact pickup and delivery times and locations. Most auto transports are accomplished by 18 wheelers. Tractor trailers can be difficult to maneuver on many roads and streets. Colorado has 184,289 miles of highways, mountain roads, streets with many rural roads, and other road conditions that can prevent or limit access for large tractor trailers. If the pickup and/or drop off addresses have any obstructions that could prevent a large truck from accessing the location we recommend you choose a different location. This can easily be accomplished by coordinating with the driver. Selecting a shopping plaza or other open area is usually best. Traffic can also impact pickup and/or drop-off schedules. We recommend you check road and traffic conditions for delays. Check here to find current traffic conditions in Colorado . Below are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.

• Low hanging phone cables
• Road construction
• Low hanging tree branches
