When shipping, loading, or unloading, disconnect or remove any toll pass or anti-theft devices that could pose problems for the driver.

6 Factors That Impact Jersey City to Baltimore Auto Transport Rates
One: Distance and Location. These are two of the key determinants of auto transport costs. It makes sense that the cost of transporting your car across the country will be far more than the cost of sending it from Jersey City to San Diego. The other elements are the places your vehicle will be picked up and dropped off. You should anticipate a higher fee if your pick-up and/or drop-off points are out in the middle of nowhere. Unless the middle of nowhere is close to a significant interstate. The same holds true for pick-up and drop-off points that are in crowded places, like downtown Baltimore. Sometimes finding a location that is more convenient for the driver to get to with the broker or carrier can assist lower the cost of shipment.
Two: Auto Transport Service Options. There are numerous options available for shipping your auto. The most popular choices are open vs enclosed, guaranteed pick up, and top loading. For open shipping, your car will be loaded onto an open-air trailer when it is shipped. Your car is exposed to the elements and debris from the road, but the cost is nearly always the best price available. For enclosed shipping, your car will be transported in an enclosed trailer during shipping, keeping it safe from the elements and potential road hazards. The cost of enclosed shipping is almost always a lot more expensive. Guaranteed pick up means that the carrier will show up to pick up your car at the designated time that you have selected for collection. The cost of this choice is typically higher as well. The final option is top loading, which involves loading your automobile on the top level of the open-air car transporter. With this choice, there is a little more defense against road debris and the possible issue of fluid leakage from upper deck vehicles onto lower deck vehicles. This choice is normally more expensive as well.
Three: Weight and size of your vehicle. Vehicles come in a wide range of sizes, weights, and forms, all of which have an impact on the cost of transporting a vehicle. More space is necessary for larger vehicles. Similarly, because carrier trucks have weight constraints, a heavier car will cost you more. Extra-large automobiles, both in terms of size and weight, necessitate unique shipping arrangements, which add to the overall cost of transporting a vehicle. Also please remember that if your vehicle has been modified, it will require special handling and shipping. This can affect how much it will cost to ship the car. Lifting or lowering a car can change its height, therefore the car shipping company will need to adjust the transport trailer levels to take your non-standard vehicle height into account.
Four: Pickup and Delivery Dates. For most people moving a vehicle, scheduling the pickup and delivery comes in second place to overall cost. Generally speaking, the fastest vehicle shipping service will be more expensive than a regular auto transport service. This is due to the fact that a prompt pick-up and delivery require a quick yet accurate route planning, which will eventually cost you more. The carriers can arrange the delivery in accordance with the most effective route planning, nevertheless, if you're very flexible with your pickup and delivery dates.
Five: Vehicle Condition. If an automobile can be driven or not, dictates its condition. For loading and unloading, an inoperable car may need extra equipment. The car shipping company will almost always charge you more for shipping an inoperable vehicle. Due to the fact that not all trailers are equipped to handle inoperable autos, your car might not be picked up if the broker or carrier is not informed that it is inoperable at the time of booking.
Six: Time of Year. Similar to many other businesses, auto shipping experiences peak and low periods. Car transport is in demand during the high season, but less so during the low season. It makes sense that increasing demand would result in more expensive shipping. Winter is the season of lower demand, and summer is the time higher demand. Demand for the southern routes may also be impacted by snowbirds who travel south in the fall and then return in the spring. Although rates may rise over the holidays, auto transport is often less expensive in the winter.

Four Things You Need to Know About Completing A Bill of Lading
Number One: The pickup and delivery locations are the first things to check or complete on the Bill of Lading (BOL). Also, make sure the information on your vehicle is correct. Make, model, and year, the VIN, license plate number, and color must be included on the BOL. Speak with the driver if any of this information is inaccurate. Also, it's not a bad idea to have your vehicle's current milage from the odometer documented on the BOL.
Number Two: Always accurately complete your BOL. Prior to releasing your auto to the driver, both you and the driver will inspect your vehicle to document any preexisting damage. Damage includes but is not limited to dents, scratches, cracked, broken windshields, etc.. Before and after delivery, you must inspect your automobile. Occasionally, the driver will hand you two separate bills of lading. You'll use the same one at other occasions. You should fill it out twice in either case.
Number Three: The BOL is the primary form used to document the state of your vehicle prior to transport. It isn't, however, the sole option. Another approach is to snap photographs of your vehicle and email (with a copy of the BOL) them to both the broker and the carrier. It's difficult for a driver to contest a cracked windshield at delivery when you have photos without the crack at pickup. The email should be sent as soon as your vehicle is picked up.
Number Four: Reviewing and understanding the shipping terms and conditions for your Jersey City to Baltimore auto transport is the final and equally crucial section of the BOL. It's critical to read all the terms and conditions on the BOL, particularly if the transport was booked through a third party or broker. The terms and conditions for the broker and the actual transport firm that is shipping your vehicle are most likely different. Make that the payment method on the BOL is acceptable. If you have any questions, speak with the driver or immediately contact your broker.
