Often you  need to ship a car. For instance, when we order a new a vehicle or alternatively import it from a foreign country like Ireland, Germany or Sweden etc. eventual cost of shipping depends on various factors: maintenance, weigth, size of the vehicle, length of the journey and transport solution. One of the most cost-effective solutions to move a car is to make a listing on Clicktrans.com - in a flash you will receive quotes from transport providers specialising in auto shipping. Before you choose which transport compny you like the most make sure the transport provider has his vehicle  insured and check if he provides parcel insurance as well,in case of car accident, delivery delay or damage. What are the methods for a vehicle shipping? For a car transport you can use car platforms/car carrier trucks. There are open carriers which are cost-effectve, but less safe and can carry many autos at one time. Enclosed carriers take only up to 5 vehicles and protect them in undesirable weather conditions. Additionally, you can choose to have your car towed or carry it on a trailer. It is essential to strap down the car properly, so it does not move during transport. Four wheels should be strap down with belts. It is essential to be aware that weight of the auto shoud not exceed the actual weight of the car platform. You may move a vehicle on your own if you have an appropriate driving licence for this job and an auto you want to transport does not exceed 3,5 tonne. When hiring a transport company to transport a car within the European Union, in most cases you will need a CRM note. Shipping an auto with car carriers in the United Kingdom costs around 1 pounds per km. On longer routes, above 300 £ per km. Shipping a vehicle with autotransporters/car carrier trucks to a foreign country costs around 0,2-0,5 £ per km, depending on the route lenght.
