Ezine Ready

Car movers accept quite a bit of responsibility when they contract to shift your car for you. So how can you find out if they will live up to that duty? Maybe they will just shrug off any accidental damage and quickly hand you over to a big, anonymous insurance company.

The car mover who takes some responsibility for your car and goes that extra distance is worth locating. Look for these five tips that will make it easier to find one like that.

First, find out if the car mover you are engaging is a separate business, or merely a sub-agent for another business. A business will frequently be more personal than a commission agent or broker. Ask the question.

Then, ask if he has offices in the city you are moving to. A company that has staff in several areas of the city you're moving to is going to be able to give you quick, local service when you take delivery of your car. Of course, this is preferable to having to rely on a small office on the other side of town. Especially if anything happens during your move.

You will get protection, and quite likely higher standards, if your mover belongs to the American Moving and Storage Association, or a similar organization. Find out.

A pricing system gives you, the customer, confidence in the mover. You can see a mover has a system when he is asking for many details about the car, taking notes, looking closely at the vehicle and sending you a quote that is tailored to your car. Check if your mover is this organized, or just quotes quickly without seeming to think very much about your specific situation. Does your mover give a snap quote, or does he have a pricing system that is comprehensive and at the same time includes the particulars of your car?

Finally: is he using best practice talking with you? Does he listen to your suggestions, give you answers, speak clearly?

I would say, don't choose your car mover solely on price. Cheapest is not always best. Instead look for a mover who will take responsibility for your car.
