OPEN car shipping

Open transport is the most common shipping type due to its safety, reliability, and volume of available trailers. Because vehicles can be easily loaded, unloaded, and arranged on open trailers, this is a cost-effective and efficient method for Austin car shipping near you. Remember, open trailers are uncovered, so cars may arrive at their destination with dust and dirt from the road.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is the preferred method for shipping classic, exotic, or luxury vehicles. Enclosed trailers are also often equipped with hydraulic ramps and lift gates, which may be required to load and unload vehicles with low ground clearance. With enclosed shipping, vehicles are protected from road hazards and inclement weather, offering you additional peace of mind.

4 things to consider when transporting a car to or from Austin

  • In Texas, including Austin, you have 30 days to register your vehicle after you purchase it or after moving to the state. Make sure you register your vehicle with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
  • New residents to Texas must get a state drivers license within 90 days of residency (voting in a state election, paying resident tuition, or other privileges and benefits not extended to nonresidents).
  • Familiarize yourself with Texas toll roads and payment options. If you have an electronic tag or other toll payment transponder, be sure to remove it while your vehicle is in transit to avoid undue fees.
  • Some Texas counties require vehicles to pass an emissions test. Check to see if you require an emissions test and locate your nearest testing facility.

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.

With Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.

A simple way to save money on your Austin car shipping is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand.
