A Look At Auto Shipping Brokers
Our money does not grow on trees and a vehicle is not just a vehicle. If you are trying to handle vehicle transportation all by yourself you may find yourself in a hectic situation. There is no need to ‘Stop being lazy’ when you can have someone do it all for you. An auto shipping broker can take care of it all. So lay back, relax and it will all be handled.
Of course we are talking about going to an auto transport broker. Someone to take care of all our car needs! Perfect, but what is Auto Shipping Broker anyway? Here it goes. A broker is the middleman who deals with a vast number of carriers so they can find you the most suitable vehicle carrier based on your budget and, of course, convenience. A broker will most likely find you the best price when you contract through them versus dealing with the auto shipping companies. The broker does not ship your vehicle for you. Instead they have the right to use a vast network of carriers and with this have the absolute leverage in finding the right shipping service to send your vehicle in the accurate direction with an open spot. This can be incredibly useful when you consider the slim openings that are often available to the single customer. Auto shipping services usually transport your vehicle on a specific route with a definite schedule; working with a broker you have more options.
However a broker does not insure your vehicle, but can help in aiding to use the right company which will. They also find the right party to pick up and deliver your car exactly as you want it. The broker is not tied down to a specific fleet company, while many carrier services have a large amount of trucks to transport your car. The situation rests on the fact that the trucks used to transport you vehicle are very far away thus leading to a more expensive turn around. Working with a broker is much easier due to the fact they are able to quickly track down the trucks or shipping services in your immediate area. The broker allows the pick up and drops off time to be sooner than working with a carrier company.
One of the best things when working with a broker is never being rushed or fixed. What I mean by this is most of the time, when we work with carriers; once you talk and get a quote from them they immediately want you to book right then and there while that spot is still open. When working with a broker nothing is forced, and you are given a plentitude of options based on your requirements. Another great benefit is direct service communication. Brokers are able to speak directly to the drivers or carriers to inform them of everything, while often carriers companies do not have that access. They simply ship and it is off.
You always have the choice. If you want an easier life along with auto shipping then I suggest using an auto shipping broker.

Sorry, Miguel, passenger freighters no longer carry pets or vehicles to of from North America. This is due to extreme security and fears from bird flu, H1N1 and a great reduction of ships due to the recession.
As John mentioned, the only ship which will carry pets across the Atlantic is Queen Mary 2 on her kennel deck. I can suggest a company which will ship your vehicle for you.
If you'd like any more information on either, please e-mail me at
and I'll send you info on the vehicle shipping company and check QE2 for you.

Music is a powerful vehicle to transport one back to a specific time and place. I can totally relate to what Andrew says in his article!
