Antique Shipping
Classic and antique cares are of immense value to their owners. These prized possessions have often had years of work put into them and due to their nature, tend to be very fragile because they have original parts and need special care when handling. Shipping classic, one of a kind vehicles is a serious business and that’s why it’s important to employ a trusted Auto Transport company. Shipping antique vehicles is very much different from shipping a standard vehicle and there are precautions that must be taken during the shipment.
Speak with your auto shippers in-depth about the safety of your vehicle and make sure that there are precautions in place to protect your vehicle.
-Whatever Auto Shippers you choose, they must have special tie-down equipment to reduce the vibrations of the tires and the effects they will have on your vehicle while on the road.
-Inquire about padding being used wherever your vehicle may come into contact with anything else during transport, such as straps.
-If you decide to crate the car, it must be secured securely to the floor of the crate with padding protecting it on both sides.
-Inquire about temperature regulated carriers for even more protection.
-To protect your vehicle from the elements and weather related wear and tear, ask specifically for an enclosed carrier. Getting an enclosed carrier for your vehicle will keep your vehicle safe and give you peace of mind about the safety of your vehicle.
Make sure you get several quotes and shop around for the best prices for shipping your antique vehicle. Antique Car Transport generally costs more than standard shipping because of the special needs to prevent damage, but that doesn’t mean that you should choose the cheapest car shippers. When choosing a company, make sure their prices are competitive but also make sure that they are competent.
