Shipping a vehicle—whether across the state or across the country—should be straightforward. But small missteps can create big headaches. At Corja Auto Hauling, we’ve seen it all, and we know exactly how to help you avoid the most common mistakes people make when shipping a car.
1. Waiting Until the Last Minute to Book
The best transport slots fill quickly. Waiting too long can mean higher prices or longer wait times. Book at least 1–2 weeks in advance whenever possible.
2. Not Prepping the Vehicle
Failing to check fluids, tire pressure, and battery charge before transport can cause loading delays. A quick pre-trip inspection ensures everything goes smoothly.
3. Leaving Personal Items in the Car
Loose items can shift during transport and are not covered by insurance. Remove all personal belongings before pickup.
4. Skipping Photos and Documentation
Clear, dated photos of your vehicle before transport are your best protection in case of a claim. Document all sides, the interior, and close-ups of any existing scratches or dents.
5. Ignoring Pickup and Delivery Logistics
Some locations aren’t accessible for large car haulers. Know in advance where your driver can safely load and unload.
6. Working Through a Broker Without Knowing It
Brokers often post your job to a load board and take a fee, leaving you with little control over who handles your car. Direct carriers like Corja give you transparency and accountability from start to finish.
7. Not Checking Insurance Coverage
Always verify that your carrier is fully insured. Corja Auto Hauling provides complete coverage for every vehicle we transport.
