Most carrier driver's will refuse to load a non-operational vehicle that was not previously reported as such. Non-operational vehicles may be shipped but they require significantly more time for schedule, planning, and extra labor for loading and unloading. Increases and decreases in fuel costs are determining factors for rates. Rates also change seasonally, with July and August being the busiest months for car shipping, rates are at the highest of the year. Finally, when you pay your bill upon delivery you may be able to save some money by paying this with cash. Driver's desire cash payments and may offer you a discount for paying COD. They normally accept credit and debit cards as well but if your intention is to pay by check you need to make arrangements with your auto transport carrier and have approval prior to your delivery date.

Shipping Process
Planning ahead can make your auto transport process much easier. We can get you 10 Montana to California auto shipping quotes from our database of reliable carriers and drivers. After reviewing your quotes, it is helpful to call the shippers and compare the services being offered. After you have decided which shipping company to hire be sure to carefully read all their guidelines and information.
Reduce delivery delays by making sure your vehicle is in good condition for your shipping driver, have your oil and fluids checked and make sure your tire pressure is good. Also, if your car or truck will be in cold or winter conditions make sure your antifreeze is sufficient. If your vehicle becomes disabled or non-operable during transport it could increase your quoted rate. Check that you have spare keys as DOT guidelines
Be sure to remove all personal belongings from your car or truck, shipping companies do not provide insurance or security for anything other than your vehicle that they are transporting. Any non-standard accessories that increase your vehicles dimensions, as well as any non-retractable antennas, should be removed as a precaution to reduce the possibility of any damage when the driver will be loading and unloading your vehicle. Cleaning the interior and exterior of your vehicle can help you save time in the inspection process that you will complete at both your pick-up and delivery locations. Once again be sure you have removed any items that stick out from your car or truck and also fold your exterior mirrors in if possible as an added precaution. Any anti-theft system and alarms need to be disabled before your vehicle is loaded onto a car hauler, these devices could drain your battery and make the shipping driver's job more difficult and time consuming. Your vehicle might need to change places on the car hauler trailer a few times, depending upon the logistics of the other vehicles pick-up and drop-off locations, so it very important that if there are any oddities or quirks outside of the norm for driving your car or truck you need to convey this information to your delivery driver.
Shipping Impacts
Bad weather occasionally interrupts Montana to California auto transport schedules and may change expected pick-up and delivery times. Especially during hurricane season, the gulf and southeastern states occasionally are subjected to inclement weather that can affect vehicle shipping schedules. Inclement winter weather fronts can bring snow, ice, and blizzards which can impact car shipping schedules. Although unlikely to affect your vehicle delivery schedule, flooding is another weather-related event that occasionally impacts vehicle pick-up and delivery times.
There are other road conditions that occasionally impact car shipping pick-up and delivery times. For example, the western states have been seeing longer fire seasons with more fires that can close highways and roads. Road construction, detours and traffic jams can also impact the scheduled pick-up and delivery times of your vehicle. Check for any possible traffic related delays for Montana and California. The driver of your car hauler will not enter any area that he or she deems unsafe, such as neighborhoods with low tree branches that could damage vehicles on the upper deck, or residential areas that have posted signs stating no commercial traffic is allowed. See below for some other things that can affect vehicle pick-up and delivery schedules.
