Car Shipping Brokers And Carriers

In the car shipping industry there are two types of companies called brokers and carriers. Both work together as a team to transport cars all over the country for companies, dealerships, rental car fleets and private individuals. Carriers do the actual transporting while brokers handle the logistics of when, where and for how much.

Carriers are often very small companies. In fact, most have just a single truck. With tens of thousands of carriers crisscrossing the country, picking up and delivering vehicles, many use brokers to find vehicles to transport. Auto transport brokers, in turn, work with hundreds of individual carriers to find quick and reliable transport for their client at the best possible price. And because brokers ship more cars than individual carriers, they’re able to stay on top of current pricing and always get the best rates.

• They know the ins and outs of the industry and can help you avoid hidden fees, extra charges and delays.
• They can find the right carrier to meet your needs and handle special requests such as oversized, custom or inoperable vehicles.
• Booking through a broker is the most reliable way to get door-to-door service and prevent your vehicle from sitting at a terminal or depot until a carrier has more cars headed to your area.
