1/23/2014 Enclosed Car TransportEnclosed transporting is mostly used for luxury cars, classic cars, sports car, brand new luxury dealer cars and motorcycles. It is available for any type of car and can be requested by any customer; however it is more expensive than shipping via open carrier. The high prices might throw off a lot of people when requesting quotes; however these high prices come with its perks. Since enclosed carriers mainly deal with high end cars, these drivers are trained to cover up to the tiniest detail and are considered the best in the business. As they handle costly and delicate cars they must be aware of all the scenarios that can occur while transporting in order to ensure a safe transportation and guarantee a happy customer. Another perk of this costly service is that your car will be completely safe from any outdoor condition; it will protect it from rain, snow, dust, flying objects on the road, theft and many other things during transit. Enclosed Car Carriers are not as common on the streets as open car carriers; however this does not mean they are less popular. Enclosed carriers are in great demand when it comes to transport high-end luxury cars, classic, sports and smaller cars if possible. One of the greatest advantages of enclosed carriers is that drivers are the best drivers in the industry as they are trained to deal with these high-end cars in order to secure them properly and transport them safely to their delivery point. They are specially trained to handle road situations in order to safeguard the cars they are moving. Also, the insurance offered by an enclosed transporter is the best insurance offered by the service, it can cover up to $500,000.00 in losses or damages. The security offered is also another great advantage as these carriers are protected with metal or canvas walls, protecting the vehicles inside from weather, dust or other objects that can damage the cars. During winter time many customers request enclosed carriers to protect their cars from the harsh winters, however the demand for these carriers is so high sometimes delays on pickup may occur for the little availability of drivers. Another disadvantage for enclosed carriers is that costs to maintain them are very high, another reason why prices are higher. Most drivers rather spend less in maintenance as well; therefore demand for open carriers is much higher. Also open carriers can take between 4 – 6 cars at once opposed to an open carrier which can take up to 11 cars in one single shipment. An enclosed carrier would have to do double the trip, and be double exposed to any risks that the road can bring. There are many occasions in life that can obligate you to move from one place to another. Sometimes the distance is only a couple miles away, but sometimes it can be in a completely different time zone. Many times these circumstances provide a better condition and more opportunities for you, regardless of the sacrifices you may have to do, such as moving away from your loved ones or current comfortable conditions. This produces enough stress for you and the last thing you need is problems with damaged or lost belongings along the way, most importantly a possession so precious such as your car; your means of transportation. 9 of 10 people solely depend on their car to accomplish their everyday tasks, from going to the corner shop to driving 50 miles a day to get to work. If you are someone that uses your car as a mobile office such as a pool cleaning service, your car is your source of income. Would you imagine yourself without a car due to a mistreatment that wasn’t even your fault? This can cost hundreds of dollars to your revenue and a lot of stressful moments. Due to the harsh financial situations many people encounter, when searching for car transport companies, people tend to go to lowest prices possible; a very common error you can avoid if you knew just a couple of pointers before booking. Indeed, price is a great factor that helps you determine which company you will book with, however this isn’t necessarily the smartest decision, as there are other things you should take in account when given a quote. First of all, you need to decide whether you want to deal directly with a carrier or hire a broker to do the booking for you. Naturally, if you hire a broker, you must pay the broker fees, as opposed to the carrier, which offers you the price for the driver straight up. This can work as an advantage for you, however, dealing directly with drivers and carriers can be very stressful, as these entities are not used to work directly with customers, and most of the time they’re not available as they are on the road. Another disadvantage is that when working directly with carriers, you do not know if prices offered are the best in the market; most brokers research what are the lowest prices available according to your needs. Other factors you must consider is the make and model of your car, especially if the body of the car has some work done to it that will alter its original dimensions. For example, if you have an extended bed, or lift kits on your pick up, this will change the type of carrier you will need, as dimensions are bigger and special accommodations must be provided to transport your car safely. If you need any specific needs for your car besides the standard, prices will go up. Also, convertible cars, sports cars and classic cars must be taken in enclosed carriers to protect them from weather conditions and other factors. This will also raise the price on your transport; however, it will guarantee a secure and satisfactory delivery. 8/15/2013 Car Transport from Miami to Los AngelesMoving a car may seem as the same task to many users over and over, although in part this is true, there a few details that make each transport request unique from one another.
