Be prepared that an auto mover will ask you to pay a deposit in advance. If a deposit is given, the balance has to be paid before or upon delivery. Usually, it is done with cash or US postal money order.
Don’t be surprised if an auto mover requires full payment prior to car transport. If full payment is required prior to the move, consider using a credit card so that charges may be disputed if circumstances justify such actions. More information on self moving truck here.
You can save on your car move by choosing terminal-to-terminal service. If you deliver your car to (or pick it up from) one of the terminals, you’re saving the car moving company the trip to your house. This saves the mover time, effort, and expense, making it a cheaper option for you. Don’t forget to check with the representative how close the terminals are to your departure and destination locations.
The cheapest way to move your car is to have someone drive it for you. Some car movers can provide you with such service. However, this method depends on driver availability and can require a broader time frame for delivery. Still, it can save you a few hundred dollars depending on distance and the year and model of your car.
