Driveaway services are often less expensive than most car shipping methods. This requires you to work with a reputable company with reliable, professional drivers like AutoTransport.com. The process of booking a drive away is easy.

When choosing between enclosed car transport and driveaway service, there are key things to consider.

Enclosed Car Transport:

Protects from weather and road debris
Better security since car is hidden
Great for luxury or classic cars
Usually costs more

Driveaway Service:

Faster delivery
More flexible and can handle larger vehicles
May allow personal items in the car
Adds mileage to your vehicle

In short, enclosed transport is good for cars that need extra protection, while driveaway service can be better if you want faster delivery and flexibility. The best choice depends on what you need and how valuable your car is. Both options have their advantages which can be discussed with a car shipping specialist.

Car insurance for transport gives you peace of mind when shipping your car. You won’t worry if an accident occurs. This is because your car is fully insured while it’s being moved.

Most costs for damages or accidents are covered. You won’t have to pay for repairs or replacements. You also get protection for injuries to others in an accident with your car.

This insurance keeps your investment safe and protects you from legal problems. You can relax knowing your car and your peace of mind are protected. With the right insurance, you’re all set for worry-free car transport.

Fire Truck Transport Questions

What departments and dealers ask before moving fire apparatus.

How is a fire truck transported?

Either driven by a qualified driver, or hauled on a lowboy or step-deck trailer. A road-legal, running engine going a long distance is often driven. Apparatus that is out of service, unregistered, or too tall or heavy to move safely under its own power goes on a trailer instead.

Can we just drive it ourselves?

Often yes, and for a running, registered, insured engine it can be the simplest option. The reasons departments use a transporter instead are usually that the apparatus is not currently registered or insured for road use, that no qualified driver is available for the distance, or that adding hundreds of miles to a working vehicle is not wanted.

Do fire trucks need oversize permits?

It depends on the specific apparatus. Many engines are within legal limits; aerials, ladder trucks and tankers frequently are not, particularly on height. Permits are issued per state, so a multi-state move can need several, and some states impose daylight-only travel or escort requirements that change the schedule.

What measurements do you need?

Overall length, width, height and weight as the apparatus actually sits — not the catalogue figures. Height is the one that most often causes problems, because it determines bridge and overpass routing. If any equipment can be removed to reduce the height, say so, as it can materially change both the route and the price.

How long does a fire truck move take?

Longer than a standard vehicle on the same route. Permitted loads travel on restricted schedules and routes, and cannot always run at night or at weekends. Ask for a realistic delivery window when you book rather than assuming ordinary transit times.

What information do you need to quote fire apparatus?

Type of apparatus, year and make, accurate dimensions and weight, whether it runs and is registered, and the access at both ends. Call (866) 517-7015 and have the dimensions to hand — they determine almost everything about the quote.
