Traditional operation schedules have been dismissed because today's haste necessitates steady progress in the transportation sector.
In the middle of all this change, Universal Transit shines as the go-to company that provides exceptional door-to-door auto shipping that satisfies and pleases our clients.
Our dedication is assured and reinforced by the fact that we understand all the shipment processes involved in car transportation, making us the ideal choice for those who aim to have a smooth and stress-free car shipping service.
Understanding door-to-door transport
This industry's door-to-door auto transport services are based on convenience and pertinacity.
But what does it mean, therefore?
It is an integrated service whose primary purpose is to remove all the challenges historically linked to vehicle movement.
Indeed, transportation is a complex task, whether you are shifting to a new city or state, selling a car to a customer who resides in another state, or even purchasing a car from another state or city.
The actual operation of the vehicle entails using one's own time and energy, depreciating the car, and not forgetting about such essentials as gasoline, lodging, and other expenses one must cover while on the road.
Universal Transit is the middle ground between need and convenience, exposed every time we get in the car.
As for our services, door-to-door pickup service is straightforward.
While one has a personal car, one must worry about which highway to take, the possibility that the vehicle will break down, or about organizing the overall transport plan; Universal Transit will handle all that on the client's behalf.
Your car will be picked up from the agreed pickup point at your house, workplace, or any other agreed-upon point.
After that, it is conveyed safely and in the fastest possible way, only to be dropped off at the doorstep of the intended place.
With the end-to-end service, one can be assured that they get every required service without enduring stress and inconveniences.
The door-to-door auto transport process
As for any new industry, getting familiar with the details is always daunting, and the auto transport industry is no exception, proving so for a first-time auto shipper.
However, Universal Transit clearly understands this, which does not prevent creating a convenient working process for our clients.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown:
- 1. Initial Consultation: Like any delightful story, every journey starts with a phone or keyboard click. With a committed and professional staff, we consult with you to candidly understand your needs, constraints, and preferences. This serves as a starting point to ensure that we fit your preferences regarding our services.
- 2. Vehicle Inspection: All your vehicles are checked thoroughly before being transported to their destinations. It is not just a quick look; our specialists describe the state of a car and make notes when examining it, so there would be no disputes regarding the condition of a car's inspection. This is a proactive measure that ensures transparency and makes transporting easy.
- 3. Strategic Planning: We use our expertise and knowledge of road systems to produce the best possible direction for safety. This planning phase considers factors such as bridge usage, weather, construction, and other traffic congestion that may be foreseen in a particular route.
- 4. The Transit: Your vehicle is placed in a state-of-the-art carrier to safely transport it to the agreed destination. These carriers are led by experts in the transport industry and capable of transporting cars, trucks, and equipment of any make, model, or brand. Our team pays due respect to the vehicle by ensuring that the car is accorded the needed care during the journey.
- 5. Timely Delivery: Being on time is one of the values we always ensure we deliver in each service we provide. It is also returned to the agreed destination within the agreed timeframe and in decent shape. After that, the AGV receives its final check to guarantee that the vehicle conforms to the parameters stated on the paperwork.
Cost determinants for auto transportation
The prices of door-to-door auto transport are very flexible due to numerous factors that come into play.
Knowledge of these can assist clients in decision-making and proper expectations of the authorized spending limits.
Here are the primary determinants:
- 1. Distance: The degree of cost increases with the distance from the destination, though it is still not excessively big compared to other methods. Transporting a car from one state to another will cost differently when the transport is within one state.
- 2. Vehicle Specifications: Hence, the cost is influenced by the type, size, and weight of the vehicle. For instance, driving a compact sedan will attract different amounts than driving a large station wagon or an antique car that needs special attention.
- 3. Pickup and Drop-off Locations: The authorities of Great Britain proved that accessibility matters in society. Genetic ailing may be cheaper if a centralized corporation transports to and from urban areas with good road networks rather than remote or rugged terrains.
- 4. Seasonal Variations: Seasons also affect auto transport; thus, the costs change, such as ticket prices when buying a flight. Pure services may not have these external influences but might face a particular hike during peak seasons.
- 5. Type of Carrier: Clients can choose from two kinds of carriers: open and enclosed. Open carriers are commonly used due to their lower price than enclosed ones, which provide extra security for cars, especially luxury or classic ones.
- 6. Additional Services: This affects the price since any additional service or special request, including expedited delivery or higher insurance, will add to the overall auto transport cost.
Caring for Your Vehicle at Universal Transit, we are not just a car rental company; we view your vehicle as the investment it is, the memory box it is, and often, a family member.
Our commitment to its safety is unwavering, and here is how we ensure it:

- 4. Transparent communication: Our company has communicated with you since you came to us in your vehicle. Any problem, outcome, or plan alteration is promptly reported so you do not remain in the dark.
- 5. Insurance coverage: We do everything to provide comfortable transportation but are also ready for any situation. A company car also ensures that you get insurance covered thoroughly, ensuring your vehicle is covered in case of an accident.
