Arranging your RV Trailer Transport

By Steven on Monday, December 14th, 2015 in Auto Shipping. No Comments

If you’re moving, then the last thing you want to worry about is getting your recreational vehicle from one place to another, and we understand that perfectly. That being said, there are a few very important steps that you can take to ensure that your vehicle actually makes it to its final destination, and most importantly, that it gets there without a scratch. What is RV trailer transport exactly? How is it different from driving it there yourself? The most obvious part, of course, is that you will not have to actually drive the vehicle to the final destination. That, in itself, is a plus.

benefits of using an RV Shipping Company

Other benefits of using an RV Shipping Company

The following are a few of the most common benefits of using a shipping company rather than driving the vehicle on your own:

  • Save on Gas – If you drive yourself you will have to worry about gas, and driving a gasoline powered vehicle for a long distance will definitely run up the bill. That being said, having it towed by an experienced RV transport company is definitely an advantage to you. Most transport companies make use of diesel engines which are designed to haul a heavier load for longer distances, which is a cost savings that trickles down to you.
  • The Faster Route – Our drivers are not only experienced, they know the areas in which they will be driving. This includes familiarity with traffic laws along with the status of the roads on which they will be traveling. In other words, they will be ready to meet any challenges head on – challenges that might have set you back several hours if you had been driving.
  • Safety – We aren’t talking about your personal safety so much as the safety of your vehicle. A long trip in an RV can put a lot of wear and tear on it, and it could result in body damage depending upon the environments through which you will be driving. With enclosed transport, you can avoid much of this.

Keep in mind that there are a few things that are not included in the breakdown, including downtime expense in the vent the vehicle breaks down on the way. Make sure you plan for any additional expenses, as accidents do happen occasionally.

Understanding Regulations

Did you know that there are specific DOT height restrictions for vehicle transport? Our RV trailer transport service will ensure that the standard is not only met, but that all other safety regulations are complied with as well. Using RV transport companies are most definitely within your best interest, and now would be a great time to start looking into the services that we have to offer you. Along with full insurance coverage, we guarantee that your vehicle will get to its destination safely, and on time. Remember, you have a lot to deal with when it comes to moving, and the last thing you want to worry about is your RV. Let us take it off your hands.

 

Reviews from Our Customers

“My car has arrived! The driver delivered about 4:00 pm this afternoon. Considering I called you about this auto transport move on Friday morning and it is now delivered over 500 miles away and it is only Sunday, this was an amazingly quick move. I have purchased several cars online, but I have never had auto shipping experience that was this fast and affordable. Thanks for making this move a great experience. I will call you on all future moves.” – Roy
"We used Door to Door to move our mini-van from PA to TX. I selected Door to Door after a few weeks of online research and contact with over 15 different car transport companies. I eliminated every company with poor reviews and poor BBB ratings. Door to Door met my initial criteria and I was pleased with my phone conversations with JR. They assigned a driver who was courteous, professional and just plain nice. We felt very comfortable with the driver and knew he would deliver the van on-time and without issue. We were very pleased overall and would not hesitate to use Door to Door again when we need car shipping in the future." - Jennifer
"Our vehicle transport experience with Door To Door Auto Transport was very positive. The couple that actually transported the car were very friendly and kept in touch with us so that we knew exactly when the car would be picked up. If I ever need a vehicle shipping company again, I will call Door To Door Auto Transport." – Shari
"I used Door To Door Auto Transport simply because of their good reviews. I was very nervous to transport my car but I did not have time to deliver my daughter’s car to her. This was my first experience shipping a vehicle and I was impressed! They picked the car up and delivered it earlier than I planned! They picked the car up on Thursday and they delivered it at 1:00a.m. Sunday instead of Monday during working hours. We did not expect this and it turned out to be good for us. The transport overall was very fast. Lola was very good and pleasant. The price was just right." – MyLe
"Linda was very nice and genuine and Door to Door did what they said they would do. The transactions were quick and easy and the driver actually arrived much earlier than I expected. Auto shipping across the country is expensive, so regardless of price (which this was one of the cheaper ones I found), if you want the job done well, go with Door to Door!" – Reggie
