How Do Auto Shipping Quotes Work?

We feel it’s important for you to know how we determine your car shipping quote. When you’re looking for a car shipping service, you’ll want to understand how auto transport works.

Vehicle shipping prices are based on seasonal market demands for cars to be moved at any given time. Each auto shipping quote is prepared based on the season and the current national rates.

You should keep in mind that low-priced vehicle shipping quotes often result in delays by the vehicle shipping company in getting your vehicle loaded when comparing auto transport companies.

Choosing the right broker is vital to getting the best auto transport companies for the lowest price possible. Not all car shipping brokers are created equal.

Mercury Auto Transport does a thorough background check with each vehicle shipment carrier for every shipment. We verify car shipping company ratings, references, and in addition, we obtain a certified copy of their insurance coverage certificate, directly from the government agency that it is on file with.

You can have peace of mind knowing that the car shipping service you have chosen for your vehicle is the very best and that there are no surprises with your vehicle delivery, guaranteed.

Door-To-Door Auto Transport Service; 100% Bumper-To-Bumper Auto Insurance

As part of providing a great car shipping experience, it’s our job to guarantee that the carrier we assign to pick up your vehicle is licensed and holds the correct insurance coverage. Click here to check out our car transport license.

When you go with Mercury for your auto transportation, you can rest easy knowing that the auto transport company assigned to move your car is fully insured and licensed with the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier and Safety Administration).

Your vehicle is covered by the auto shipping company’s insurance policy if they are doing the shipping. Also, depending on the type and size of the truck/trailer that is shipping your car, there are multiple companies that have insurance policies that can cover from $100,000 to $1,000,000 of damage.

What To Expect
With Our Car Shipping Service

We Secure the Shipping Vehicles

First, we post your vehicle through our network, including all National Dispatch Boards for Auto Transport.

We present car shipment offers from FMCSA-licensed and Insured Carriers.

Your Vehicle Is Picked Up By The Car Transport Company

Once you approve your car transport company and final logistics, you’ll have to pay your deposit to move on to the next step.

The deposit is included in your quote and goes toward the total price of the car transport service.

Then, the remaining balance is due at the time of vehicle delivery. Most importantly, nothing gets done without your approval.

The Auto Transport Company Delivers Your Vehicle

Your driver from the car transport service will contact you prior to your pickup and delivery dates to schedule a convenient time for loading and unloading.

Once your vehicle reaches its destination, you do a final inspection of your vehicle and pay the auto transport driver the remaining balance.

Finally, you and the driver both sign the Bill of Lading and each keep a copy of this document.

Auto Transport: How To Ship A Car

Do you want to know the best way to ship your car?

The best way to ship a car includes enclosed trailer, open carrier transport, flatbed truck, door-to-door auto shipping services, and to or from a terminal as well.

The most popular (and often the cheapest way) of the auto transport options is a 7 to 10 car open carrier. The only downside to this car transport option is that it may not be the best if you have a high-end luxury vehicle, a classic car or an exotic car as your vehicle will be exposed to the elements during transport. However, these large trucks can accommodate car transport for almost any size vehicle including cars, SUVs, trucks, jeeps, and vans, and are a great option for most vehicles.

Open car transport, door-to-door, is also the best way to get the cheapest auto transport rate possible in the auto transport industry.

If you don’t have a tight budget you might consider enclosed auto transport. Enclosed transport, or enclosed trailer transport, is a safe way to transport your vehicle if you want to protect your car from the effects of bad weather and debris.

You can also call us at (800) 553-1828 to discuss your car transport queries and car shipping quotes.

We only present auto transport offers from FMCSA Licensed and Insured Carriers which we understand are car shipping companies you can trust.

When you accept an offer for the car transport services, we send your auto transport service agreement that guarantees the price, door-to-door service, and 100% bumper-to-bumper insurance.

There are never any hidden fees or charges, guaranteed and we will find the best car shipping company for you.
