Budgeting for auto transport is tricky. If you’re on a tight budget, definitely get multiple quotes from non-brokers!
Yes! That’s how I found the best deal. Just ensure they have good reviews.

Do non-broker services often include insurance? I’ve heard some might skip it to cut costs.
Good question! I’ve noticed that some non-broker options do offer insurance, but others don’t make it clear until after you book. Always ask!
That’s definitely something I didn’t check before booking my last transportation. Back to square one!
There are hidden fees in everything! Make sure to read reviews about specific companies and how they handle additional costs.
Definitely! A friend of mine had a nightmare with hidden fees. Do your homework!
Using a non-broker service felt like a gamble at first, but it paid off. Just make sure you trust the company!
I totally agree! Sometimes the risk leads to great savings.
Can we talk about how long it really takes? Non-brokers usually say a timeframe, but I found it varies a lot!
I experienced that too! The estimated time was optimistic, to say the least. Patience is key with non-broker services!

I’ve used non-broker auto transport services before. It’s important to check if they have the proper insurance because if anything goes wrong, you want to ensure you’re covered.

Absolutely! I’ve heard horror stories about carriers that don’t carry enough coverage. Always ask for proof of insurance.
Another key point is to carefully read the contract. Sometimes, there are hidden fees that can catch you off guard later on.
For sure! And make sure to clarify the pickup and delivery times to avoid any misunderstandings.
I’ve found that it helps to check their reviews online. If a service has a lot of complaints about damage, it’s a red flag.

It’s also wise to get everything in writing. Verbal agreements can be hard to enforce if something goes wrong.

That’s great advice! I once lost a deposit because I didn’t get it documented. Definitely avoid that!
I’ve used non-broker services too, and honestly, I felt safer after verifying their DOT number. It’s a good practice.

Great point! It shows they’re registered and helps protect against scams.
