This can be really frustrating! We certainly understand how overwhelming this process can be for you, especially if this is your first time. First, it's important to understand that a quote is simply an estimate of what a carrier will likely agree to, in order to transport your vehicle.
CAR SHIPPING QUOTES ARE ONLY ESTIMATES
How to Understand Your Auto Transport Quote
You see, in this process, a logistics company like ours uses a quote to employ the service of a carrier company. We communicate with carriers off a massive virtual job board called Central Dispatch. This is where carriers who are looking to haul vehicles can locate them along their particular routes. They contact our company from that job board if they want to move your vehicle. Sometimes, carriers bargain with us. It’s our job negotiate the lowest price possible that they’d be willing to move your vehicle for. This is specifically why a quote can fluctuate. Beware of companies that will send you extremely low prices just to entice you! At the end of the day the price to ship your vehicle ultimately resides with the carrier company who’s willing to make the trip with your vehicle on their truckload.The beauty of working with ICAT Auto Shipping is that we will not ask you to pay upfront fees to secure a space for your vehicle unlike other companies that may contact you. Since it is not uncommon for carriers to negotiate with us, we only think it’s fair that our customers only pay once a final price has been agreed upon amongst all parties involved. For any further explanation, don’t hesitate to give us a call and get the booking- process started for your shipment today!
