Your Vehicle Is Delivered

The time it takes to transport a car can vary depending on several factors, including:

• Distance: The further the distance, the longer it will take to transport your car.
• Shipping method: Open-air shipping is the most common and least expensive method, while enclosed shipping is more expensive but provides more protection for your vehicle.
• Weather conditions: Inclement weather can delay shipments.
• Road conditions: Poor road conditions can also delay shipments.
• Drivers’ hours of service: Drivers are regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) on how many hours they can drive per day. This can impact the delivery timeline.

The best way to get an accurate quote for shipping your car is to get quotes from several different companies. When comparing quotes, be sure to compare the total cost, which includes the shipping fee, insurance, and any additional services.

When preparing your car for shipping, there are a few things you need to do:

1. Remove all personal items. This includes anything that is not permanently attached to the car, such as:
   • Registration and insurance documents
   • GPS devices
   • Toll transponders
   • Phone chargers
   • CDs or DVDs
   • Food or drinks
   • Trash
2. Fill the gas tank to at least a quarter tank. This will help to prevent the fuel pump from running dry during transport.
3. Take photos of the car. This will help to document the car’s condition in case of any damage during transport.
4. Coordinate with the shipping company. The shipping company will provide you with a pickup time. Be sure to have your car ready at the designated time and place.

By following these steps, you can help to ensure that your car arrives at its destination safely and in good condition.

There are several types of transport services available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The type of service you choose will depend on your specific needs and budget.

• Open transport: Open transport is the most common type of transport. It is less expensive than enclosed transport, but it does not provide as much protection for your vehicle. Open transport is a good option for vehicles that are not in need of special protection. 
• Enclosed transport: Enclosed transport provides more protection for your vehicle than open transport. It is more expensive, but it is a good option for vehicles that are in need of special protection, such as new vehicles or vehicles that are being transported for show.
• Door-to-door delivery: Door-to-door delivery is the most convenient type of delivery. The shipping company will pick up your vehicle from your home or business and deliver it to your new location.  
• Terminal-to-terminal delivery: Terminal-to-terminal delivery is the least expensive type of delivery. The shipping company will pick up your vehicle from a shipping terminal and deliver it to another shipping terminal. Terminal-to-terminal delivery is a good option for people who have access to a shipping terminal and who are willing to do some of the legwork themselves.
• Expedited delivery: Expedited delivery is the fastest type of delivery. It is more expensive than standard delivery, but it is a good option for people who need their vehicle delivered quickly.
• Guaranteed delivery: Guaranteed delivery is the most reliable type of delivery. The shipping company guarantees that your vehicle will arrive at its destination on time and in good condition. Guaranteed delivery is more expensive than standard delivery, but it is a good option for people who need to be sure that their vehicle will arrive on time.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured from the moment the carrier picks it up to the time of delivery. We pre-screen every car shipping carrier to ensure they meet all insurance requirements under the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. The amount of insurance coverage depends on your vehicle’s value, the type of trailer used, and the company. Typically, an open car transport carrier will offer cargo insurance coverage between $100,000 and $250,000, while an enclosed auto transport carrier will offer cargo insurance coverage between $250,000 and $1,000,000. We can provide all carrier’s certificates of insurance upon request.

You can have up to 75 lbs of personal items in the trunk/cargo area of the vehicle being shipped, but you must secure the items in a single box or suitcase. 

If your car is damaged during transport, it’s important to document the damage with photos and get the driver’s signature to confirm the damage. You should then contact us immediately to start filing a claim. This will allow us to begin the process of resolving the issue and ensuring that you are compensated appropriately.

The initial payment is usually made by credit card, and the balance will be paid upon delivery by cash or an instant payment method that the driver accepts, such as Zelle, Venmo, or Cashapp.
