Are you looking to ship your boat when you make your next move? We are here to help with that! It can be a big undertaking to bring along vehicles like boats in significant moves, but you cannot just leave them behind! That’s why we are eager to take the stress off your shoulders and ship your boat for you! Our expert agents are available to answer any questions you may have during the process and ease your mind on the scary nature of shipping your vehicles.
What to Know Before Shipping Your Boat
The first thing to know about your shipping process is that you should start your shipping process at least one month before your planned transport start date. For example, if you want to have your boat picked up for shipment on October 1st, you will want to get your shipment planning started by September 1st. This gives you enough time to determine the shipping method you want as well as find the right shipper for you! From there, we suggest having your shipment scheduled and booked two weeks before your pickup date.
Preparing Your Boat for Shipment
While you are researching your boat shipment options, we suggest also preparing your boat for shipment physically. You will want to secure all loose items and furniture. If you are able to entirely remove anything, that would be the best option. You will also want to make sure any and all insurance policies that you have are up to date so that you have all of the protections you possibly can have.
In the research process of trying to find the right shipping company for you, we suggest looking for specific features. You want to find a company that is trustworthy, reliable, and has reasonable prices that are not too low. Some companies use extremely low-price points as a means to entice customers but then let the customers down with poor quality. To combat this, you will want to make sure you work with a company whose prices seem authentic and, in the budget, but not suspiciously low.
We here at Pittsburgh Auto Transport have all of those features! We are extremely trustworthy and reliable and will provide the best quality service to you before, during, and after shipment, all while maintaining reasonable prices!
