Often we  try to transport an auto. First of all, when people order a new a vehicle or import it from abroad like Ireland, Poland or Sweden etcetera, end price of shipping depends on multiple factors: maintenance, weigth, size of the car, length of the route and transport method. One of the money-saving methods to ship an auto is to list your car on Clicktrans.com - in a flash you will receive offers from transport companies specialising in auto transport. Before you come to decision which transport provider you like the most make sure the transport provider has his car  insured and check if he offers parcel insurance also,in case of car accident, delivery delay or defects. What are the solutions for an auto transport? For a car shipping you could utilise car platforms/car carrier trucks. There are open carriers which are cheaper, but less safe and are able to carry many cars at one time. Enclosed carriers take only up to 5 autos and secure them in extreme weather conditions. Additionally, you can also have your vehicle towed or put it on a trailer. It is crucial to strap down the car properly, so it is stablized during transport. Four wheels should be strap down with belts. It is critical to remember that weight of the car shoud not exceed the actual mass of the platform. You can ship an auto on your own if you have an appropriate driving licence for this job and an auto you'd like to move does not exceed 3,5 tonne. When hiring a shipping company to transport a vehicle within the EU, usually you will need a consignment note. Shipping a vehicle with car carriers in the UK costs around 1 £ per kilometer. On a longer route, above 300 GBP per km. Shipping a vehicle with autotransporters/car carrier trucks to a foreign country costs around 0,2-0,5 GBP per km, depending on the country.
