Not all car shipping sites are the same. There are two main categories they fall into. Actually companies and lead generating sites. Part of the confusion for must customers looking to ship a car, is to find a legitimate company with a good reputation to ship their car. As people go through the internet they generally aim to get 3-4 quotes for companies and then move compare their prices. Unfortunately, the internet has numerous sites which appear to be companies, but in actuality are then selling your contact information to 5-10 different companies. This is something consumers are used to, comparing 5-7 prices on one site, an example of that would be cheap tickets. The difference between the two is that if you go on cheap tickets comparing prices someone from a basement run home office isn’t going to be calling you telling you why they are better than another airline. These lead generating sites often open the door for fly-by-night companies to arrive and quote out large amounts of quotes to people without taking the care to get them an accurate number, but just to see how much they can sell. This is not always the case, but my advise would to be to stick with 4 or 5 quotes from sites on the internet where they are an actual company. Where you can confirm their credentials and years in business BEFORE giving away your email and cell number. As always we have car shipping tips on our site which would be helpful for anyone looking for the service so they can make an educated choice. Of course, we are not the only reputable companies, there are many, but it is important you do that homework before selecting which car shipping company you want.

Fetching information regarding shipping companies is difficult since little of the credentials can be verified. Very helpful information. Thanks!

I agree that proper research of the best Auto transport company should be properly done so as well an individual can make sure to most likely end up with a reputable company. I guess visiting forums,blogs and finding out reviews would make it a less difficult venture.

I couldn’t have said it better! The other thing that happens, is when getting numerous quotes there is a BIG chance you will find youself double or triple booked!Some brokers will list you without your knowledge which will kill your chances of getting the “low price” you are hoping for. You need to be specific when calling and tell them you want a quote and NOT to list you unless you call them to confirm!
Again, ask friends for a reference, call REAL companies not LEAD BROKERS, then choose 2-3 and pick one.

Good post. Getting car shipping quotes can be a hassle. Getting 10-20 quotes at a time can be frustrating. You should try and get just a few at a time to keep track of the reputable companies.
