How to Ship a Car with Transport
Masters Usa

The moment you book with us, you’ll get an estimated delivery time from our specialists and drivers. How it works is that the time depends on the distance, but our drivers always strive to deliver your vehicle before the estimated time, ensuring a timely and efficient experience.

Indeed, Transport Masters USA collaborates with a broad network of partner carriers, enabling us to arrange quick and efficient domestic car transport. Additionally, we provide international car shipping services to virtually every corner of the world.

Nevertheless, it's important to acknowledge that international shipping is a highly intricate process. To prevent any potential delays, we recommend initiating the booking process for international shipping services at your earliest convenience.

As a rule of thumb, it's advised to contact a car transport company roughly a month prior to your desired pick-up date for international transport. This allows ample time to coordinate logistics and ensure a smooth transportation process.

Shipping rates fluctuate seasonally primarily due to changes in demand for car shipping services. Most customers prefer to transport their vehicles during the warmer summer months, leading to a surge in demand for carrier resources, which subsequently influences the final cost of your car shipping quote..

Concerns over possible delays caused by adverse weather conditions likely drive this preference for summer shipping. Hence, the abundance of auto shipping bookings during this season.

Disable the Alarm – Your vehicle is about to embark on a journey of hundreds, possibly thousands of miles. Although the auto transporter will take utmost care, inevitable bumps could trigger your car’s alarm, causing the carrier to stop and resolve the issue. Deactivating your alarm saves the transporter significant time and hassle.

Clean the Interior – Cleaning the interior serves dual purposes. Firstly, it's your final opportunity to ensure all personal belongings have been removed. Secondly, your car will be clean and ready when it arrives at your destination.

Wash the Exterior – It's beneficial to clean your car's exterior thoroughly. Removing dirt and debris reduces the risk for other vehicles on the road and facilitates a smooth inspection upon delivery.

Check for Leaks – Oil and transmission fluid leaks can be hazardous. The excess fluid can be blown around, especially during open-air transport, potentially damaging other vehicles. If possible, fix any leaks before arranging transport. If you can't, inform our team so we can relay this information to the carrier. This could result in your car being placed on the lower level of the trailer to minimize issues.

Run the Fuel Down – Remember, you're charged for shipping services based on distance and weight. Don't pay more by having a full tank before transport. Run your fuel down to about a quarter of a tank. Your vehicle will only be driven for loading, unloading, and perhaps short distances at the destination.

Document the Condition of the Vehicle – Document your vehicle's condition thoroughly before the carrier loads it onto the trailer. Take photographs from multiple angles post-cleaning. Compare these with the condition of the vehicle upon delivery. If you notice discrepancies, report them immediately.

Remove Personal Property – Filling your car with luggage is not allowed. This can increase cost due to added weight, pose a safety risk, and potentially damage your car's interior. Moreover, carriers could be subjected to fines from the Department of Transportation, for which you might be held responsible.

Remove Toll Transponder – While a transponder is convenient for passing toll checkpoints, it should be removed before transport. If left in place, your account could be charged for every toll the carrier passes. As your car is about to travel potentially thousands of miles, these tolls could accumulate rapidly.

Indeed, Transport Masters USA orchestrates thousands of such shipments annually. While most auction houses do offer shipping services, they often come at a premium cost and could take weeks for your car to be delivered.

Transport Masters USA provides a cost-efficient and dependable alternative to auction house shipping. We liaise with our partnered carrier and the auctioneer to arrange the collection of your car. Our carrier ensures that your newly acquired vehicle is delivered to your doorstep swiftly, making the entire process streamlined and hassle-free.
