Think Twice Before Using An Auto Car Transport Company.
Moving can be a stressful experience, especially when it comes down to figuring out how to move both your household belongings and your vehicle from your old home to your new one. Everybody assumes that a call to an auto transport company is the answer to get your vehicle from location to location. It doesn’t always lead to the most efficient solution. Having Rented Truck Driver tow your vehicle behind your rental truck has significant advantages over traditional auto transportation methods.
Guaranteed Pickup and Delivery Dates
One of the biggest grievances against car transport companies is that their timing is unreliable. These companies provide wide pickup and delivery windows and taking weeks to deliver your vehicle. Rented Truck Driver, we have guaranteed exact pickup and delivery dates. You know precisely when your carand belongings will show up. This simplifies the process of planning your move.
Your Car Stays with Your belonging
When you use an auto transport company, your car is shipped on a truck with multiple other vehicles. In this process your vehicle will be loaded unloded multiple times from truck to truck and it may be left storage lots for day before it arrives at your doorstep. When you have your car towed behind your rental truck with Rented Truck Driver, your car stays with your belongings. You know that everything is arriving simultaneously in days not weeks.
Less Costly
Auto transport companies are highly costly, especially if you are shipping your vehicle over long distances. You have already paid for a truck rental by hiring Rented Truck Driver, and towing your vehicle behind your moving truck becomes even more cost effect than hiring an independent transport service.
We have an open pricing policy with no additional fees or unexpected charges.
Fewer Opportunities for Damage
When you ship your vehicle with an auto transport company, it’s loaded and unloaded multiple times. It is more likely to get scratched, dented, or otherwise damaged. With Rented Truck Driver, your car is strapped down on a trailer once and only handled by your professional driver, so it’s much less likely of any damage.
Pro Tip
Secure Your Trailer with an Extra Hitch Lock Protect your vehicle and belongings from theft by adding an extra lock to the ball hitch of your trailer. Rental trailers can be a target for thieves, but an additional lock prevents unauthorized detachment and theft. A small investment in a high-quality hitch lock can save you from a major headache and keep your move on track.
Full Communication During the Move
One of the biggest complaints against automobile transport businesses is lack of communication. Customers are unable to get information on where their vehicle is or when they will get it.
Rented Truck Driver starts a group chat four days before your move, connecting you directly with your driver, our office, and company owner. This gives you total transparency on where your vehicle is at any given time and updates throughout the transport process.
Better for Personal Belongings
Most car transport companies will not allow you to carry any personal items in your vehicle due to liability concerns. If you have to transport extra items in your vehicle, towing it behind your rental carrier gives you more flexibility.
Pro Tip
Pack Belongings in the Trunk, Not the Passenger Area When Towing
When towing your vehicle behind a rental truck, always pack your belongings in the trunk and not in the passenger area. Loose items can shift during transport, potentially causing damage to your car’s interior.
Keeping everything in the trunk also reduces the risk of theft—items left visible in the passenger area can attract unwanted attention, especially during rest stops or overnights at hotels. Keep your belongings safe and secure by packing only in the trunk.
Convenience and Simplicity
Coordinating the move and vehicle transport with multiple companies, one for your car and your truck separately, is an unnecessary bother. Rented Truck Driver sorts that all out for you. With one source handling both your belongings and your vehicle, it eases your move and making it convenient.
Pro Tip
Use An Auto Transporter Not A Tow Dolly
For a smoother, safer move, we recommend using an auto transporter instead of a tow dolly. The auto transporter keeps all four wheels of your vehicle off the ground, reducing wear and tear on your tires and transmission. It also provides better stability, especially for longer trips, minimizing the risk of vehicle damage.
With a tow dolly if your vehicle gets a flat tire you are responsible to have a roadside assistance such as a AAA Membership repair the tire at your own cost. The rental company takes care of tire issues at their cost with their own roadside assistance.
Lastly, an Auto Transporter has four wheels, two on each side. If one tire gets a flat the other three will cary the vehicle allowing the driver to get to the next exit or to pull over in a safe place. If one of your car’s tires go flat while using a Tow Dolly, the driver must stop immediately to prevent further damage to your vehicle. This can leave the driver, your belongings, and your vehicle in harms way.
Rental Truck & Trailer Pickup and Drop-Off Process
To make the towing process as easy as possible, we follow a simple pickup and drop-off system.
