Auto Transport for Non-Running Vehicles

Auto Transport Non-Running VehiclesIf you’re looking for auto transport for non-running vehicles you own or are planning to own, it’s definitely a doable endeavor, but it’s probably going to cost a bit more on the whole than if your vehicle were running. However, it’s not nearly as bad as you may think.

Transporting a non-running car requires a special type of winch that not all auto transport carriers have on their truck. The fact that not all carriers have this winch on their truck is frustrating, but it is not necessary for all carriers to have it because the primary method of loading and unloading a vehicle is by driving it on or off the truck. This is also part of the reason why you need to be available when the vehicle is picked up – the driver needs someone to sign the paperwork and take the keys from.

However, when you’re shipping a non-running vehicle, the carrier will need to winch it onto the truck, and that takes a bit more time and effort than simply driving the vehicle onto the truck. Plus, the equipment itself must first be properly installed and the driver trained in its use, so much of the extra cost for transporting a non-running vehicle is due to that.

If you are looking for auto transport services for a non-running vehicle be sure to let whoever you’re getting a quote from know ahead of time that it is not running. Problems can arise if you fail to mention that your vehicle does not run; for instance, the wrong type of carrier could be contracted, and if a carrier shows up to transport the car and they don’t have a winch because you didn’t mention the vehicle wasn’t running they won’t be able to load the vehicle onto the truck, which will most definitely cause delays – and possibly a canceled order.

Don’t be afraid of the extra cost – it rarely will cost more than $200 more than if the vehicle were running, which in the auto shipping industry isn’t that much. Most carriers will charge $100-$150, on average, and those are the ones that we’ll be targeting if you’re looking to transport your non-running vehicle with us.

This is my second time shipping my vehicle with Cruise Control Auto Transport. I like how this company does a great job of being up front at the very beginning by explaining what to expect so there are no surprises. There were none once again. From pickup to delivery, Andrew was there to answer all my questions. Even on weekends! I have Cruise Control Auto Transport to thank for another excellent experience.

Andrew was truthful and trustworthy. Past experiences created skepticism in me regarding having an auto shipped. However, Andy assured me his brokerage was different. He was totally forthcoming. I will, without reservation, use Cruise Control to move all of my vehicles! Andrew you rock!
Cruise Control uber allesPete
Andrew was exceptional in arranging my auto transport. We had a preliminary conversation in which he briefed me on the process and discussed the quote. When I called with a definite date, he had a carrier lined up in less than 2 hours. The car was picked up the next day. The carrier was very good, polite and prompt – I felt my car was in good hands. Even after the carrier had the car, Andrew still followed up to make sure I was satisfied. Thank you, Andrew, for very good service.
