Car Transport Time Frames – What Should You Know?
For anyone selling or buying a new or used vehicle, delivery times are an important factor of the deal. So how long will an auto logistics company take to deliver your vehicle?
Using a reputable auto transport company can make it so much easier than trying to organise a driver or driving the vehicle yourself. Here are a few factors you should take into consideration when figuring out the time frame for your car transport.
- How can I get my car or fleet delivered at a time that suits me?
- Won’t it be faster if I just drive my own car or hire a driver?
- Do different auto logistics companies have different delivery time frames?
The Reddot Group believes strongly in transparent customer service and will answer all your questions honestly and with straightforward information so that you can make the right decision for your unique needs.
Car Transport Time Estimates
Timing is everything in this modern era of instant gratification! If you ship your car or fleet on a bulk car transport vehicle, you have very little control over pickup and delivery times. The larger transporters and trucking companies will want to maximise their profits and minimise their risks and inconvenience – so there is a strong possibility that the delivery timeframe won’t suit the customer.
If you choose a company that will drive your car for you instead, then you as a customer can arrange pickup and delivery times that will suit your needs.
Auto Logistics Companies vs Self Driving or Driver Hire
Organising your own vehicle delivery may be faster and cost less money – but what about the safety of the driver and your valuable assets? South Africa may be the wonderful country we are all proud to call home – but let’s face it, the figures for theft, hijacking and road accident rates can make driving a risky business.
A professional car transporting company will be knowledgeable about the risks of weather conditions, poorly maintained roads, high crime areas and difficult road access. Their drivers will have been carefully briefed on how to mitigate risks, and know how to manage their routes accordingly.

What’s the Difference Between Vehicle Transport Companies?
Moving vehicles across country or in South Africa’s diverse metropolitan areas can be a complex and challenging process requiring unique efficiency and insightful decisions.
Not every car moving company is the same – and figuring out which companies will deliver your vehicles on time, and which will leave you in the lurch, needs some due diligence.
The best vehicle moving company will have experience and credentials, offer transparent quotes that are not too heavy with fine print, and give great customer service with all aspects of the delivery considered. Any lesser operation will doubtless run into unforeseen issues that can delay customer vehicle deliveries.
Consider your vehicle deliver options carefully and make decisions based on all the available information. Your decisions should take many factors into consideration – your personal priorities as well as the needs of your business. Find a company with a reputation for providing transparent information upfront, constant updates during the delivery process, and reliable customer service with YOUR priorities in mind.
Extra Tips for Finding the Right Vehicle Transportation Company
Do your homework and research the reputation of the vehicle transport company whose services you are thinking of using.
- Check out the certifications and business registration details of the company.
- Get more than one contact person’s details from the company you are hiring.
- Double-check all the quotes you receive, ask questions, and make sure you’re aware of any “fine print” on quotes or contracts.
- Make sure you’re focussed during the vehicle handover process – you never know who could be lurking, and it always pays to be vigilant.
