ESQUIREMOIVING CAR CSHIPPING SERVICES FAQ

Will you provide me with a free car shipping quote?

Yes, we will. After you provide us with all of the pertinent information – we will estimate how much it will cost and send you a free, no-obligation car shipping quote. Any adjustments that we will have to make based upon other details that you may provide later will be included in the final quote and we will not proceed with the job until we mutually confirm the final agreement.

Is your company qualified to provide vehicle shipping in Boston?

Yes. Not only are we licensed with the (FMCSA) — Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration through the (DOT) Department of Transportation, but also, we are fully insured to make certain that your vehicle will be covered in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

How do I know that you haven’t damaged my car after delivery?

It is important that you provide us with a detailed analysis of your car before we begin the car shipping process. Providing us with photographs on departure day will make us aware of any existing cosmetic damage or blemishes that your car may have and will help in the inspection process after delivery.

What can I leave inside of my car during transit?

We would not be a responsible Boston car shipping company if we allowed customers to keep personal belongings inside of the car during transit. We cannot be liable for any contents within your car that are not part of the function of the car. We ask that you remove everything that does not belong prior to shipment until the car has reached its final destination.

I have a few furniture pieces that I need to move too, can you do that?

Yes. As a full-service moving company, we can offer you moving services for anything else that you might need transported. However, this will be handled as a separate transaction independent from your car shipping and the household items being moved will be transported in one of our moving company trucks designated for this type of relocation.

Is the car shipping process very long?

There is not a set time frame for car shipping services. We will determine your delivery date based upon the mileage between departure and arrival locations, along with any other special circumstances that may apply to your car.

Do I need to do anything in particular before moving my show car?

If you have a vintage or antique car or if your vehicle has a high monetary value – we would ask that you notify us immediately with that information before we proceed with the vehicle shipping process to ensure that any additional insurance and protection measures are implemented.

How far in advance should I book your vehicle shipping services?

We strongly recommend booking our vehicle shipping services two weeks in advance of your preferred pickup date to make sure that we are available. If you need to book with less notice – give us a call anyway and we will try to accommodate you if we can.

Can I send someone in my place to get my car when it is delivered?

Yes. If you are unable to accept your car upon arrival, then you must notify us in advance of delivery with the name of the person who will be acting on your behalf. As one of the leading car shipping companies in Massachusetts – we are committed to the safety of your vehicle while in our care. Therefore, this individual will need to present a valid ID and will have to sign a bill of lading to confirm delivery as well as the condition of the car after inspection.

Will your car shipping company stay on schedule?

Yes. While unexpected situations could arise impacting the trip such as inclement weather or bad road conditions – we will make every effort to maintain a strict schedule to ensure that your vehicle will be delivered at the desired and agreed upon time.

My vehicle needs repairs. Can you still move it?

As a professional car shipping company that makes safety a priority – we must evaluate the extent of your vehicle’s issues before we can ship it. We must be sure that this type of move will not worsen the condition of your vehicle. In addition, we must be sure that the nature of your needed repairs will not create any safety issues in transit.

What is the difference between open-sided and enclosed transport?

Open-sided auto transport is often a preferred mode of transport for many moving customers because it is typically less expensive than enclosed transport.
Enclosed transport is typically recommended for movement of high-value vehicles to better shield the vehicle from dust, debris, and bad weather conditions. Enclosed transport can be a good choice for luxury vehicles or antique cars.
