When starting your search for a Boston auto carrier or broker, there are several things to keep in mind. It’s most important to protect yourself from scams, and there are a few ways to do that.
Joey Sasson, Vice President of Sales and Logistics at Moving APT, has several tips for staying smart.
“Make sure the company is licensed and insured,” says Mr. Sasson. “Otherwise, you may be liable if things go sideways during transport.”
You can check licensing status with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) online. You can also check reviews, ask family and friends for recommendations and request information and quotes from several companies for comparison. When you’re ready for a quote, companies will need to know pickup and drop off information, vehicle information and type of shipping (for example, open or enclosed). Once a price is agreed upon and the order placed, you can schedule a pickup day. Most companies offer door-to-door services, which is more convenient than meeting at a terminal. Several companies also require no money down until the car is picked up. The balance is paid when it is dropped off, after being inspected. Then, you’ll be ready to explore your new city.

Location is the biggest price factor in auto transports. Local transports will cost less while cross country or international transports will be the most expensive. Additional factors that impact pricing include:
A special consideration for the Boston area is if it is in season or off season. In season is spring and summer when moving is at its highest. However, Boston has special weather conditions in the winter that can affect vehicle transport. With the cold winter season lasting around three and a half months, many Boston residents take off to warmer weather for the winter. Boston auto transporters call these residents snowbirds and can ship your vehicle to your warmer destination and then back home to Boston.
