How to find the best car shipping companies in San Francisco, CA

There's an abundance of high quality car shipping companies in San Francisco — but knowing where to search and what to look for in a transporter means you'll make the right choice for your car shipping situation. With some car transportation jobs, a high level of experience and specialized equipment is required. For other jobs like simple open carrier transport, the most important factor is affordability.

Factors to consider when choosing a car shipping company in San Francisco

Price icon
Price

Cost is an important factor when choosing a car shipping company in San Francisco. Keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for. Beware of quotes that seem too good to be true — there could be hidden fees dropped on you at the last minute or even worse, they could be scammers.

Reputation icon
Reputation

Read reviews from previous customers — don't just check the company's website for reviews. See if they're listed on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website and other third-party review sites like Google and Yelp. At CitizenShipper, you can read previous customer's feedback of all transporters before choosing to ship your car.

Insurance Coverage

Confirm that the car shipping company meets all San Francisco insurance coverage requirements.

Choosing the Best Auto Transport Company in San Francisco, CA

Research Multiple Car Transport Companies

Before you select a car transporter, compare and contrast their services, past reviews and price point. This requires looking up different companies online and for some companies, picking up the phone and calling them to get all the details about their services.

When you use CitizenShipper, much of this work is handled for you. While you'll still need to compare and contrast, transporter information is listed on the marketplace so you don't have to waste time looking up multiple companies. Your browser will thank you for not needing 15 tabs open at once!

Compare Quotes from Multiple Companies

Again, CitizenShipper is the easiest and least labor-intensive way to compare quotes from multiple car transport companies in San Francisco. Once you've posted a listing, you'll receive quotes within minutes — just log in and review your quotes to find the best deal for your transport. All of the quotes can be viewed in one place after you log into CitizenShipper.

Inquire About Their Shipping Process and Timeline

When you create a listing on CitizenShipper, some of the required details include the pickup and dropoff locations and dates. Most transporters that bid can meet those requirements — that's why they're bidding after all! But just to be sure, confirm that the timeline for your transport fits their schedule. The more flexible you can be, the greater the chances you'll have of scoring a great deal on San Francisco car shipping.

Not all transporters have the same shipping process — some use enclosed transport, others use open-air transport, while others simply drive your car to the destination. The best choice for you depends on your budget and the type of vehicle you need shipped.

Evaluate their Customer Service and Communication Skills

You may have found a budget car transporter in San Francisco that falls well below your price range — but does something feel a little bit "off"? If you're transporting something as valuable as your car, you want to be 100 percent sure you've selected the right company for the job. You're looking for a car shipping company that's affordable and experienced, but there's one more piece of the puzzle: customer service.

As we mentioned before, one way to learn more about customer service and communication during the transport is to read reviews from previous customers. Another way is to experience it first-hand. CitizenShipper's internal messaging system makes it possible to speak directly with the transporter — with most other companies you'll simply be speaking with a manager or dispatcher.

Using CitizenShipper's messaging system, you can get an even better idea of how communicative and responsive the car transporter is. If they're friendly, helpful and quick to respond in detail, you're dealing with a promising transporter.
