Most auto transport companies will not be able to give you an exact date of delivery. This is because of the numerous delays that can occur in transit due to weather conditions etc. But a 3 day time framework for delivering the car is considered the norm. All other things being equal your car transport company should be able to deliver your car within 3 days of the stipulated delivery date. This of course won't hold true during winters or other seasons when snowstorms and other rough weather conditions might delay transportation and delivery times.

If your car shipping company promises you an exact date for delivery, ask for some reimbursement package to be included in this contract. For instance, if the car isn't delivered on the exact specified date, you could include a certain discount on fees or a small cancellation fee. Keep in mind that exact dates isn't always feasible.

To ensure that you're not left waiting for your car to be delivered, make sure you choose and established car and auto transport company. How do you ensure a company is a reliable car transport service? Ask for references. You could also try checking with your local Better Business Bureau to see if there have been any complaints foiled against your car transport company.
