On top of that, you will have transport insurance that adds another layer of protection, just in case something should somehow happen to the car during transport.
Companies that offer classic car transport also accept cars in various degrees of working order. So, if you are looking to ship a classic car that is inoperable, it will be no problem at all! The driver will have access to special equipment they can use that will make loading the car into their truck very quick and easy. You should just make sure you warn them about it being inoperable beforehand, so they know what to expect, and can come fully prepared.
Regardless you are trying to ship a classic car, a show car, or a collector car, you want to take the time to consider all the factors, so you make the best choice for your classic car shipping. Although you may end up spending a little more by going with an enclosed option for shipping, you will have the peace of mind knowing that your classic car will be protected and will arrive safely to its destination.
