Your auto transport needs can greatly increase or decrease the cost of having your car or truck shipped. You can save significantly by choosing an open rather than an enclosed transport. Every day auto dealerships safely receive vehicles from open car carrier trailers. To save money we highly recommend this option unless of course you are shipping an irreplaceable luxury, high end sports car, or antique vehicle. Other important cost factors include the size, weight and type of car or truck. The body type such as sedan, kingcab pickup, sports car, full size pickup and mid-size crossover you are shipping can also impact your rate. Usually the larger the vehicle the more it will cost to ship. If your vehicle has any non-standard accessories that have altered its size, this can also increase the cost of shipping. Listed below are some of the accessories that may increase cost of your shipment.

• Oversized antennas
• Nerf bars
• Front bumper guards
• Running lights
• Roof rack
• Side steps
• Lift kits
• Trailer hitch
• Extended side mirrors

Connecticut 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.

Careful preparation is the most effective way to prevent any issues with your Connecticut vehicle delivery. If your vehicle is inoperable or partially inoperable it can still be shipped although the extra logistics, time, and labor will be reflected in your rate. You MUST inform the carrier of any such defects BEFORE you arrange your shipping schedule. Typically a pick-up driver that arrives without prior knowledge that a vehicle is inoperative will refuse to take possession of that vehicle. Always verify that both your pickup and delivery addresses are accurate. Do not utilize your vehicle as a secondary shipping container. Weight is an important calculation in determining your rate and personal belongings are usually not insured. Also leave no more than a quarter tank of fuel in your vehicle.

When your vehicle is picked up you will complete a bill of lading. It is extremely important to complete this document accurately. You and the driver will inspect your vehicle and document any damage to the vehicle, such as paint scratches, dents, broken windshields, etc. When your vehicle is delivered be sure that you or your authorized representative, 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 process a claim against the driver or shipping company. 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.

Communication is the key to a successful and easy auto transport experience. Our {mainStateFullName}} auto transport partners will attempt to keep you informed every step of the way. Our partners schedules normally run on-time, however sometimes situations created by weather, road conditions, or other traffic related problems are possible. Keeping in contact with your driver will help reduce a lot of potential stress.

When choosing door to door transport services, local road conditions can impact pickup and delivery times and locations. Most auto transports are accomplished by semi-trucks. These 18 wheelers are difficult to maneuver on narrow roads and streets. Connecticut has 45,744 miles of highways with many rural roads and other road conditions that could prevent or limit access for large trucks. If the pickup and/or drop off locations have any impediments that could prevent the truck from accessing the location we recommend you select a different location. This can easily be accomplished by coordinating with the driver. Selecting a truck stop or supermarket parking lot is often 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 Connecticut. Following are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.

• Narrow streets
• Dead end streets
• One way streets
• Narrow bridges
• Narrow Cul-de-sacs
• Extreme grades
• Low overpasses
• Low hanging tree branches
• Railroad tracks
