So, you’ve decided to move? And we’re not talking about a small move across down, are we. Oh no, we’re talking big. You’ve decided to take your family and all of your things from the big city in Chicago to a more quiet setting out in the suburbs. Or maybe even further and out into the country. Wherever you’re moving from and no matter where you’re moving to, you’ve got the big day all planned out except for one important detail. You are now in the midst of deciding who will transport your vehicles out to the new property.
When considering the several car shipping services Illinois has to choose from, you should make a list of the biggest questions weighing on your mind. If you’re not sure where to start, let’s take a quick look at a couple of the most common questions asked by others when they found the need to consider Car Shipping Services themselves.
What happens if my vehicle is damaged in route?
This is probably one of the most important questions you can ask yourself. If any of the companies you are considering are unwilling to accept at least partial responsibility for damage suffered by your car in transportation, they are most certainly not worth your time. In most cases, if your car does get damaged you will need to follow the company’s claim process and make a note of the vehicle’s condition both before it is picked up and after it has been dropped off.
How much is this going to cost me?
This is another big question for most people. The answer to this will vary from service to service and can be affected by the transport options you select. You will need to decide whether you want your car to be carried in an open or enclosed carrier and whether or not you want to pay extra for expedited shipping. If any company throws in additional charges in order to lower the insurance deductible during transport, keep looking. Your vehicle should be fully insured no matter which pricing option you select and the best companies understand and respect this.
One of the best things you can do is talk to the companies you are considering and ask your questions directly. An honest company will have no qualms about giving direct answers in response. If you feel like you’re getting the run around then run away.
