What to compare before you book
Six things that separate a smooth shipment from a stressful one.
1. Operating authorityLook up the USDOT or MC number in FMCSA records and confirm whether the company is a broker or a carrier.
2. InsuranceAsk for the carrier's certificate of insurance and check the cargo limit and deductible.
3. Total priceCompare the full price, what it includes, and whether it can change after a carrier is assigned.
4. Deposit and cancellationFind out when payment is due, whether deposits are refundable and what cancelling costs.
5. Reviews and complaintsRead recent reviews and look at how complaints were resolved, not just how many there are.
6. Pickup and transitCompare the pickup window and estimated transit time, not only the price.
Comparing car shipping companies: FAQs
How do I compare car shipping companies?
Pick two or three companies and compare their FMCSA licensing, services, payment terms and programs side by side. Check each company's ratings and complaint history, then request quotes for your exact route and dates.
Why do quotes from different companies vary so much?
Companies price differently and some quote low to win the booking. Carriers pick loads that pay the market rate, so a very low quote can mean a longer wait for pickup or a price increase later.
Car shipping cost factors
How are companies ordered on Haulwide?
By their Trustpilot rating, adjusted for how many reviews it is based on. Haulwide doesn't host its own reviews yet, so nothing else affects the order and companies can't pay to move up.
Company ranking methodologyCan I get quotes from more than one company at once?
Yes. Enter your route, vehicle and dates once, and Haulwide shows estimates from several companies so you can compare before you book.
