In addition to essential headlines and stories, we will also offer a series of informational articles. These articles will target customers seeking auto transportation, carriers, and brokers providing these services.
At ASH, we try to help you understand the car shipping industry and to help you with some of the more straightforward questions about the industry. Like, “Why are the quoted rates so different from company to company?”
This is a tricky question; most companies will only send you a low quote to raise the price. It’s a bad business practice, but many car shipping companies operate this way. They do this because it works; these types of companies are everywhere, and this is how it works. They’ll quote you a rate before the car shipping process starts. Then you’ll get to your pickup date, and they’ll raise the price. They’ll tell you a story about why, and now your options are limited because customers usually have dates/plans they’re trying to work around. Now, you’ll need to decide whether to start the process again with another company or pay the extra money. Most pay the extra money, and this is why it continues.
That extra money you’re now spending is priced around other(better) companies’ quoted rates. So, in short, research the company you are looking to hire, and you’ll find information about this exact thing happening repeatedly.
We also promote independent car haulers nationwide. Florida Keys Auto Transport will be our highlighted auto carrier for the next few months. If you have a vehicle going in or out of the Florida Keys, click here!
