Get a certificate of insurance, a written guarantee of delivery time, and yes, references. Will the car be enclosed? or covered?

Yes to all the questions you have. Now here is the biggest question, Will it be shipped by loading it on a tractor trailer,or on a railcar by train, or do they use a practice common to the vehicle transport business by letting PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME DRIVE IT to the delivery point? As this is how some auto delivery companies do business. If you look in the local newspapers’ classified ads you will see something like “Auto Getaway” where they advertise to let people drive to Fla,Al,Miss,Arizona, etc,etc.in a car with the company supplies the gas and anyone with a driver’s license gets to go to wherever you want it delivered . In othr words they get a free ride oneway in your car. Sometimes the company will have anothr car coming back north or the person takes a bus back after their vacation or home visit. So if someone drives your vehiclethey probably could care less how they treat itThis would be MY MAIN CONCERN ON HOW THE SHIPPING IS DONE

First thing first – visit They have over 5300 ratings and reviews of 336 auto transport companies.
They don’t have much in the way of educating you on the industry or what questions to ask though. For that you may want to check out: That site has some good information under “Did You Know” and “Tips”.
As far as price quotes on TransportReviews.com they have a tool that will show you past prices that customer moving have paid. For example South Carolina to California has run an average of $1209. The prices ranged from $850 to $1500.
The minimum requirements should be:
Brokers
- Bonded
- Licensed
Carriers (the broker should take care of this)
- Insured
- Licensed
I would use the review site and the BBB to determine a company’s reputation.
I hope this is helpful.
