Whether you move to another country or purchase a vehicle from a dealer a state away, there may come a time when you need your car transported but can’t take it yourself. Towing is a safe way to get your vehicle moved from one location to another, but not all tow trucks are made equal. Here are a few factors to consider before deciding on a tow truck service.

What to Look for in a Car Hauling Company

1. List of Services

Towing companies may have restrictions on where they’ll travel and the size of vehicle they can relocate, so make sure the towing company you choose offers the services you need. Go with a company that offers light, medium, and heavy duty tow trucks, and consider asking for pictures of their fleet.

2. Licensed

Professional car haulers must be registered with the Department of Transport, especially if they do interstate travel. They should also carry a Motor Carrier number registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

3. Price & Payments

Compare pricing between companies and see what each will do for you. Find out what is included and what isn’t, and whether you’ll need to add insurance to the cost. Make sure you’re aware of any deposit requirements and acceptable payment options so you aren’t surprised later.

4. Positive Reviews

You’ll want your vehicle to be in good hands, so check customer testimonials on the company’s website or review sites. If there were complaints, find out the details of the incident and how the company handled the situation.

5. Same-Day Service

Not all car hauling companies offer same-day service, so if you need emergency towing or roadside assistance, make sure to go with a hauling service that offers that.
