Your shipping requirements can greatly increase or decrease the cost of having your vehicle shipped. You can save a lot by choosing open transport rather than enclosed. Auto dealerships safely receive vehicles every day 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 mid-size crossover, roadster car, off-road vehicle, hatchback and minivan you are shipping can also impact your rate. Usually the larger the vehicle the higher the shipping cost. If your vehicle has any non-standard accessories that have altered the size of your vehicle they can also increase the cost of shipping. Below are some of the accessories that can increase cost.

• Side steps
• Oversized tires
• 4 wheel drive
• Running lights
• Running boards
• Lift kits
• Trailer hitch
• Grill guards
• Extended side mirrors

Tennessee auto transport rates are calculated by the mile and rates change dependent upon the cost of fuel. Often you can save money by driving your vehicle to a shipping terminal and picking the vehicle up at another shipping terminal near your delivery address. This method can save you a lot of money but if you need or prefer door to door auto transport make sure that your pick-up and delivery locations are accessible by a full-size tractor trailer. You must inform the shipping company if your auto is inoperable. If the auto you are transporting is not operational this will significantly raise your rate. The time of year also affects the rates of shipping a vehicle, 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. Many companies prefer COD, but most carriers will also accept credit cards. Please check with the company first if you desire to pay with a check.

• Inoperable - Major Impact
• Terminal to Terminal - Major Impact
• Open or Enclosed - Major Impact
• Door to Door - Major Impact
• Vehicle Size - Moderate Impact
• Dropoff Location - Minor Impact
• Fuel Cost - Moderate Impact
• Vehicle Accessories - Moderate Impact

The best way to avoid any problems with your Tennessee car shipping is by careful preparation. 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. Be sure that both your delivery and pick up addresses are correct. Remember that weight is a major factor in 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.

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.

Keeping an open line of communication with your carrier or driver is the best thing you can do to assure a problem free auto shipping experience. Our Tennessee auto transport partners will attempt to keep you informed throughout the entire transport process. Our partners typically deliver on-time, however occasionally situations created by road conditions, weather, or other traffic related delays are possible. Staying in contact with your driver will help reduce a lot of stress.

When selecting 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 big rigs are difficult to maneuver on narrow roads and streets. Tennessee has 202,185 miles of highways and byways with many rural roads and other road conditions that will prevent or limit access for semi-trailers. If the pickup and/or delivery locations have any obstructions that could prevent the truck from accessing either location we recommend you select a different location. This can easily be accomplished by coordinating with the driver. Selecting a truck stop, shopping plaza or other open area is often the solution. 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 Tennessee. Below are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.

• Railroad tracks
• Limited Access Avenues
• Low hanging tree branches
• Road construction
• Weight restricted bridges
• Low overpasses
• County road
• Low overpasses
• One way streets
