Myth 1: Vehicle shippers provide inaccurate quotes on purpose.
Yes, some untrustworthy companies give a very low quote, knowing you will naturally select the lowest quote available. However, with an honest shipping company like MotorCar Trans, that’s not the case at all. Here you will ALWAYS get the best shipping quote that’s 100% based on your requirements.
Myth 2: With open car carriers, your car will get damaged.
Open car carriers have become the “standard” way of shipping cars. It has been deemed the most effective way to transport your vehicle, as they can transport up to 10 vehicles at one time, which in turn, is more cost effective for you. Open transport may not have sides or a roof, but, the racks and beams still offer an abundance of protection from any debris your car may come in contact with. Nevertheless, if you decide the best option for your vehicle is enclosed transportation, we have that option available to you as well.
Myth 3: You should select the lowest auto transport quote.
As previously mentioned in myth 1, the lowest quote you receive, isn’t always the best. As Kurt Vonnegut said “You get what you pay for.” Safety and service must be top priority when shipping your vehicle. Just because they come in at the lowest price, doesn’t mean their level of service is going to be award winning. Save yourself the headache in the long-run and take time to research each shipping company, read their past customer reviews and look up their accreditations. We promise it will be worth it.
Myth 4: It’s cheaper to drive versus ship your car.
This myth all depends on where your final destination is located. First, you need to ask yourself a few questions: how far am I going? Am I thinking about the gas, the tolls, (if any), what about meals? Snacks for the road? How about time away from work? Will I need a hotel? Let’s not forget the time away from work and wear and tear on my car, not to mention the time stuck in traffic and potential weather hazards. All of these things must be factored in when considering driving versus shipping your vehicle. When you ship your vehicle, the drivers are accustomed and trained for these situations. The time, meals, breaks, etc., are all factored into your quote. There are no surprises.
Considering all of the factors at play for driving your car, it’s worth getting a free, no obligation quote.
