Transporting Your Luxury Vehicle

For most people, cars are purely functional. The objective is to get from home to work, on a daily basis, with high safety and low cost.

But there are those of us for whom a vehicle represents so much more. A lifestyle, an emotion, a projection of ourselves. These lucky few are the luxury car owners.

Maybe you just bought this beautiful metal creature of a car and need to bring it home to roost. Maybe you’re heading across the country for a new job and want to bring your candy-painted baby with you. Whether for a move or a vacation, sending your beautiful Beamer, Benz, or Bentley from point A to point B will involve more care than it would the average Joe transporting his mid-90s-model GMC Jimmy to the next county over.

Choosing a car transport company

No matter where you are located, there are plenty of car transport companies to choose from. When shipping your luxury vehicle, you may want to use a company like Apollo Auto Transport , which specialize in moving high-end vehicles. Make sure the company is reliable, respectable, legal and insured, and will do a good job of protecting your car during the move.

Enclosed car transport

Any company worth its salt will offer enclosed - carrier transportation options. This usually costs a bit more than open transport, but when shipping a vehicle of high value, a few extra bucks in transport costs will be more than made up for by the reliability, protection, and peace of mind it offers. Closed transport is just that - your car will be enclosed by protective walls, keeping out snow, mud, and road debris.

Insurance during the move

If your car is worth a good deal to you financially - and, in some cases with restored cars or family heirlooms, emotionally - double-check that your insurance covers car transport. Also, find out what the shipping company’s insurance coverage is for your vehicle during the move.

With careful planning, using a car transport company to move your luxury vehicle will protect it from wear and tear of distance driving, and the unpredictable nature of high-mileage interstate travel. Enclosed car transport ensures that bad weather and flying rocks won’t touch your car during the move. And in the very unlikely event that something were to go wrong, great insurance coverage prevents losses.
