What is car shipping, and when do you need it?
Car transport is the professional transportation of cars from point A to point B without driving them yourself. The work is carried out by experienced and certified truck drivers from specialized car transport companies. Fast and reliable car transport is particularly useful in situations such as purchasing a car abroad, moving inventory between locations, covering long distances where driving yourself is impractical, and transporting vehicles where unnecessary mileage must be avoided.
Benefits of Professional Car Transport
Outsourcing car transport offers significant advantages over driving the car yourself. Speed and reliability are key factors here: the calculator shows the expected transit time for your route before you book, you receive up-to-date status updates, and you benefit from clear, personalized communication. In addition, damage coverage of up to €70,000 per vehicle is provided. You also save time because your team does not have to drive the vehicles itself and can use its time more efficiently.
Open vs. Closed Transport
When it comes to car transport, you can choose between open and enclosed transport, each with its own specific advantages. Open car transport is the most commonly used and cost-effective method, and it is suitable for standard passenger cars and commercial vehicles. This type of transport is carried out by experienced drivers. Enclosed transport offers extra protection against the elements and road conditions, which is why it is often chosen for luxury cars, sports cars, and classic cars. At TransConnect, we do not offer enclosed transport.
Types of Auto Dealerships and Their Needs
Different automotive companies have varying needs when it comes to vehicle transport. Car dealers and dealer groups use vehicle transport for imports, exports, and transfers between locations, although transport to private customers is not part of our service. Car rental companies redistribute their fleets between locations, while leasing companies and fleet owners require efficient vehicle distribution. Automakers transport vehicles from manufacturing facilities to dealers, and online car platforms offer digital B2B trading in cars. Our car transport service addresses these diverse needs with fast, flexible solutions.
