Texas to Delaware Auto Transport
How To Ship An Auto From Texas to Delaware
Step One:
Collect all pertinent information regarding your auto and shipping needs, including the year, make, and model of the vehicle being sent, as well as the pick-up and delivery locations. Then complete the form on this page or call us at 1-800-590-6492 to receive up to ten quotes from our auto shipping partners. Select the most cost-effective option and contact the Texas to Delaware auto shipping company by phone or email.
Step Two: Once you've chosen a price, communicate with your auto transport professional to arrange shipment, logistics, and make the first payment whenever you're ready. Payments can be tailored to meet your specific requirements.
Make sure to schedule the pick-up and delivery of your vehicle ahead of time. Automobiles are frequently carried in multi-vehicle carriers, which can take several days if the driver needs to pick up other vehicles along the way. Your shipping specialist will be able to iron out the kinks so that your delivery deadlines are met.
Please notify the carrier or broker if your vehicle has been modified in any way. Custom wheels, tires, rims, spoilers, and other changes, as well as elevating or lowering the vehicle, can increase the length, width, height, and/or weight of the vehicle, boosting or lowering the cost of transportation. If you have an antique car or a vehicle that requires special care, we can provide enclosed shipping as well as a variety of additional specialty vehicle transport alternatives, including door-to-door service.

Step Three: Clean out all of your personal stuff from your vehicle to prepare for shipping, as you don't want to send it with any household or personal items in it. This is for your protection because the insurance that covers your vehicle while it is being transported does not cover personal belongings inside the vehicle. Additionally, the added weight may increase the cost of shipping the vehicle. Try to limit gas to only around a quarter tank of gas and one or two windows slightly cracked.
When the automobile is picked up, the driver inspects it and notes any dents, scratches, or dings. Make sure the car is clean enough for you and the driver to see any damage. Disconnect or remove any toll pass or anti-theft devices that could cause complications for the driver when shipping, loading, or unloading.
Step Four: You must be available for vehicle pickup and delivery. Plan on being on-site to hand over your automobile to the driver and accept it when it arrives. If this isn't possible, you can nominate someone else, but Ship Your Car Now will need both their and your details. The person taking delivery of the car must pass the delivery inspection and be able to pay any remaining debt (if there is an outstanding balance).

6 Factors That Impact Texas to Delaware Auto Transport Rates
One: Weight and size of your vehicle. Vehicles come in a variety of sizes, weights, and shapes, each of which can influence the cost of shipping a car. The larger the vehicle, the more space is required. Similarly, because of weight limits on carrier trucks, if your car is heavier, it will cost you more. Extra-large vehicles, both in size and weight, require special shipping arrangements leading to additional costs added to the average cost of transporting a car. Also keep in mind, your car will need special care and shipping if it has been modified. The cost of shipping the car will ultimately be impacted by this. A car's height can be altered by lifting or lowering it, thus the Texas to Delaware car shipping company will need to modify the transport trailer levels to account for your non-standard auto height.
Two: Time of Year. Like many other businesses, auto shipping has its high and low seasons. In the high season, auto transport is in demand, while low season demand is significantly lower. It stands to reason; that higher demand means higher shipping costs. Summer is the high demand time of year and winter is the low demand time. Snowbirds leaving the cold weather in the fall and returning in the springtime can also have an impact on demand for the southern routes. Texas to Delaware auto transport during the winter months is usually less expensive, but rates can increase during the holidays.
Three: Pickup and Delivery Dates. Pickup and delivery schedule concerns are second behind cost for most folks shipping a vehicle. Typically, the most expedited auto shipping service will cost more than a standard auto transport service. This is because a quick pick-up and delivery require fast yet proper route planning, which ultimately will cost you more. However, If you’re very flexible with your pickup and delivery dates, it allows the carriers to organize the delivery according to the most efficient route planning.

Four: Auto Transport Service Options. There are numerous options available for shipping your auto. The most popular choices are open vs enclosed, guaranteed pick up, and top loading. For open shipping, your car will be loaded onto an open-air trailer when it is shipped. Your car is exposed to the elements and debris from the road, but the cost is nearly always the best price available. For enclosed shipping, your car will be transported in an enclosed trailer during shipping, keeping it safe from the elements and potential road hazards. The cost of enclosed shipping is almost always a lot more expensive. Guaranteed pick up means that the carrier will show up to pick up your car at the designated time that you have selected for collection. The cost of this choice is typically higher as well. The final option is top loading, which involves loading your automobile on the top level of the open-air car transporter. With this choice, there is a little more defense against road debris and the possible issue of fluid leakage from upper deck vehicles onto lower deck vehicles. This choice is normally more expensive as well.
Five: Vehicle Condition. Whether an automobile can be driven or not determines its condition. When it comes to loading and unloading, an inoperable car will need extra equipment. As a result, the cost of shipping will increase for the auto transport company. Failure to notify the broker/carrier that the vehicle is inoperable at the time of booking may result in your car not being picked up, as not all trailers have the extra equipment to handle inoperable vehicles.
Six: Distance and Location. These are two of the key elements that affect how much it costs to move a car. It makes sense that shipping your car across the country will cost far more than transporting it from New York to Philadelphia. The other crucial criteria include your pick-up and drop-off locations. You can expect a higher rate if your auto pick-up and/or drop-off points are in remote areas. Unless a significant interstate route is close to the remote area. The same is true for pick-up and drop-off points that are situated in densely populated areas, such as Manhattan's downtown. Working with the broker or carrier to choose a location that is simpler for the driver to get to might occasionally assist in lower shipment cost for your Texas to Delaware auto shipping.

The Dos and Don'ts For Texas Auto Shipping
Number One: The first item to check or complete on the Bill of Lading (BOL) is the pickup and delivery locations are correct, as well as your vehicle information is correct. This includes make, model, year, color, license plate number, and the VIN. If any of this information is incorrect speak with the driver. It is also a good idea to have the driver document the current mileage of your vehicle’s odometer.
Number Two: The Bill of Lading (BOL) must be filled out completely and precisely. Both the you and driver will note and document all preexisting damage to your car on the BOL before handing it over to the driver. Preexisting damage includes but is not limited to cracked or broken windshields, scratches, dents, etc. that occurred during your Texas to Delaware car shipping. At pickup and delivery, you must inspect your auto. The driver may occasionally offer you two separate BOLS. You'll have to use the same one at other occasions. In either case, must fill the BOL out twice.

Number Three: The BOL is the main form for documenting the condition of your auto prior to transport. However, it is not the only option. Taking photos of your vehicle and emailing them to both the broker and carrier is another that is recommended. It’s hard for a driver to contest photographic proof that your vehicle did not have a cracked windshield at pickup. You should send the email immediately after pickup of your vehicle. 
Number Four: Reviewing and understanding the shipping terms and conditions is the final and equally crucial section of the BOL. It's critical to read all the terms and conditions on the BOL, particularly if the transport was booked through a third party or broker. The terms and conditions for the broker and the actual transport firm that is shipping your vehicle are most likely different. Check that the payment method on the BOL is acceptable. If you have any questions, speak with the driver or immediately contact your broker.
Four Things You Need to Know About Completing A Bill of Lading
Number One: The first item to check or complete on the Bill of Lading (BOL) is the pickup and delivery locations are correct, as well as your vehicle information is correct. This includes make, model, year, color, license plate number, and the VIN. If any of this information is incorrect speak with the driver. It is also a good idea to have the driver document the current mileage of your vehicle’s odometer.
Number Two: You must accurately complete the Bill of Lading (BOL). Prior to turning over your vehicle to the driver, both the driver and you will note any preexisting damage to your auto on the BOL. Preexisting damage includes but is not limited to scratches, dents, cracked or broken windshields, etc. that occurred during your Texas to Delaware car shipping. You must do a vehicle inspection at pickup and delivery. On occasions, the driver will give you two separate BOLS. Other times, you’ll have to use the same one. Either way, you must fill it out twice.
Number Three: The BOL is the most standard used to document the condition of your vehicle prior to shipping. It is, however, not the only method. Another suggestion is to take photos of your auto and email them to both the broker and the carrier. It's difficult for a driver to argue your vehicle had a damaged windshield when it was picked up when you have the before photo. You should send the email as soon as your vehicle is released to the driver.
To receive up to ten free no-obligation quotes, call us immediately at 1-800-590-6492 or fill out the form on this page.
Number Four: The final and equally important component of the BOL is reviewing and understanding the shipping terms and conditions. It's crucial to read the entire BOL, especially if the transportation was arranged through a third party or broker. Most likely, the terms and conditions for the broker and the actual transport company shipping your automobile are not the same. Verify that the BOL's payment method is acceptable. If you have any questions, ask the driver or call your broker right away.
