Car Shipping FAQ's
Q.
How long will it take my vehicle to be shipped?
A. On average it will take three
to fourteen days for your auto to reach its destination.
Factors such as distances
between pick up and delivery, weather and traffic will
all affect the total length of time of transport.

Q.
How long in advance do I need to book my auto transport?
A. It's highly recommended that
you book your transport at least two weeks in advance. Some
of our network brokers
and carriers can accommodate on transport on a much shorter notice. If this
is the case ask for expedited car transport.
Q.
Will my vehicle be insured during transport?
A. Yes.
All auto carriers must carry insurance to be legal and approved
by the DOT. The industry minimum is $100,000. We recommend
that you ask to see a copy of their certificate of insurance
for proof. Also, read the terms and conditions of your agreement
carefully to see what is and isn't covered.
For more information visit transport
& insurance.
Q.
Must all auto transport brokers and car carriers be licensed?
A. Yes.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration must issue all auto
carriers an MC# and/or US DOT#,
in order to have proper operating
authority. Brokers must be
bonded and
have valid MC#'s. Bonding information
can be checked through safersys.com,
and is strongly recommended to
do so before choosing an auto transporter.
Q.
How should I prepare my vehicle for auto transport?
A. If you
are going to a cold climate, make sure you have winterized
your vehicle by adding antifreeze. Secure any
loose items such as antennas. Disconnect auto alarms and anti-theft systems.
Remove any car covers, and bras as they are not allowed by car carriers during
open transport. Enclosed transport is different & may be allowed.
Q.
Can I store anything in the car?
A. It is illegal to store items
anywhere in the car. Auto transporters are not licensed to
carry household goods. In addition any items stored within
the
car or vehicle are not covered under the carriers
insurance as well.
Q.
Will I need to have my vehicle delivered to a terminal?
A. Shipping terminlas are necessary in
the event there is not enough room for a truck to drop off
your vehicle at it's destination,
because of a narrow or dead end street, or any other conditions that would
not allow a truck to enter. A terminal would also be used in the event no one is available to accept
the vehicle upon delivery. These terminals are fully licensed and insured. It
should be noted that terminal shipping is generally less expensive than door
to door vehicle shipping as well.
Q.
What forms of payment is accepted by vehicle transporters?
A. Auto
transport brokers and carriers accept cashier and
certified checks as well as cash and credit cards
for the deposit. The balance is due upon delivery
and only cash, cashiers or certified checks is accepted
unless other arrangements have been made prior to
your transport! Every auto transport company has
their own payment policy. Make sure you know it
by asking and reading the agreement.
Q.
What if my vehicle is inoperable, can it still be transported?
A. Yes, it can be transported,
regardless of condition. (rolling, non operattonal or not
able to roll.) However, addditonal fees will apply as extra
transport & towing equipment and labor are needed when transporting your vehicle.
