Having your car transported may seem to be a good idea if, and only if, you know what they are all about. As with anything else, not knowing the ins and outs can sometimes lead to risky decisions.

In simple terms, car transporters would pick up your car and bring it to your destination in one piece with nary a scratch. Although it may seem simple, the complexity of this industry actually comes into picture way before you have your car transported – during the time when you have to choose which car transporter you would hire.

One of the first things that you need to ensure is that you are dealing with a legitimate business. You can do this by getting in touch with the Department of Transportation and checking with them if the transporter you have in mind has the necessary business papers.

You would also need to decide on whether you want to have your car transported in an enclosed automotive transport trailer or in an open one. Enclosed trailers are more advisable for those who have high-end cars, sports cars, or vintage cars.  They are also recommended for those who would be travelling long distances. If you are strapped for cash, you may consider going for open trailers as they are cheaper than enclosed trailers by 45% to 70%. Unfortunately, open trailers would also mean that your car is exposed to all the elements (sun, rain, snow, heat, rock chips, etc.) as well as vandalism and malicious entry.

You should also consider whether you are going for a door-to-door pick up or a terminal-to-terminal pick up. With the door-to-door, it would be the vehicle transport providers who would be going to your place to pick up your car. Keep in mind that if you would be getting this service, you need to make sure that you take all your important items from your car, including removable CD players. You should only leave your car tools and documentations inside the vehicle. On the other hand, if you would be going for a terminal-to-terminal service, make sure that you drive your car to the assigned terminal on time. If you are late, there is a probability that you would need to have your car’s transport rescheduled.

Lastly, you would need to look into the insurance coverage most car transport providers offer. Oftentimes, coverage only applies during transit but a small number of providers include coverage for damages incurred while loading and unloading your car.

Five years ago, an automaker would have to completely design, engineer and build a car all in the same country. Now, plants, assembly lines, design studios and engineering studios are all computerized, making it possible to design a car in Korea and have it engineered in the US Advancements in technology have interconnected economies around the world- the effect being better prices on consumer good, especially cars. At this year’s New York Auto Show, General Motors is showing off three mini concept cars collaborated from their design studios in ten different countries. The network of studios they have is far more powerful than if they were working individually. If a design team in Brazil comes up with a great idea, all the other design teams, be it Australia or Germany can all see it in virtual reality and can share their feedback. With a thousand designers around the world living the local customs, culture and driving conditions, General Motors and Chevrolet is opening the final design decision up to their consumers to chose which of the three vehicles debuting at the New York Auto show they’d like to see built.
