Here are some tips when transporting your car across states: find out which type of vehicle shipment suits best on your needs (enclosed trailer vs open auto); research different car transport companies carefully before making a booking decision; check terms & conditions thoroughly prior to ordering any shipment so that you can estimate possible risks involved in such operation; prepare vehicle ahead of time (inside & outside); giving a detailed description about condition/features of the vehicle clearly both visually as well as verbally; non-stop communication with the auto transport carrier until delivery completion; inspect vehicle property post receiving.
