What do I need to do to prepare my auto for transport?

Your car should be in good operating condition. It should start, run, drive and stop like normal. In-operable autos are difficult to transport and cost more.

May I pack personal effects in my vehicle?

We recommend that you do not pack personal effects in your vehicle. Your car is insured during transport, but any contents are not. Anything you leave in your car is done at your own risk. Please do not overload your car because this makes it difficult to safely load it onto our transport trucks.

What about insurance? Is my car insured while in transit?

Yes, your car is insured during transit. We have cargo insurance to fully cover your vehicle in case anything should happen. The contract or bill of lading will explain this in detail.

What is a drive away service and how do they work?

Drive away companies provide a person to drive your car from one location to another. You are responsible for any mechanical problems your car encounters during the drive (from flat tires to blown up engines). If you hire a drive away service, your car should be in EXCELLENT running condition. Sometimes your car can be delivered slightly faster, depending on the availability of drivers in the area.

How do I decide which auto transport company to use?

The decision is yours. The best way to make a decision about which auto transport company to use is to ask questions. Here are some things to consider when making an informed decision about automobile transportation.

These may sound like dumb questions, but many of the brokers operate their business out of their homes, with very little advertising and an 800 number. So ask them about their business.
