Why Should I ship my car with a car transport broker?
Car Transport brokers can offer different solutions vs carriers that can offer only their specific routes. Car Transport Brokers are also able to provide another carrier in case the one being used breaks down or cancels.
How My car is transported?
Your car will be loaded on a carrier, open or enclosed depending on the service you asked. Your car will be on the carrier's truck all the way to destination and than unloaded and handed to you.
Does my car have insurance while being shipped?
Yes. While in transit all vehicles are covered by the carrier's insurance. Most times their covered up to $1,000,000 with no deductibles to the customers. Smaller carriers have less insurance coverage, however still full coverage. Cars are insured bumper to bumper for any damage or lose, insurance does not cover any personal goods.
How do I pay for the Car Shipping?
Once a carrier is assigned to your order, a deposit is required. The deposit is accepted via credit card ( MasterCard, Visa,Discovery, Diners and American express). Remainder balance is due on delivery with Cash, Postal money order or Cashier check only.
Can I pack the car with my stuff?
By law, Carriers designated to haul cars are not allowed to carry other items. Some carriers do have the authority to do that but they limit it to 50-100 lbs only. Still in any case insurance does not cover for those items so if you must put stuff in the car, do not put breakables or valuables. Make sure to secure it well in the trunk only.
How long does the delivery takes?
Usually 1 team driver runs between 300-400 miles a day. 2 team drivers will run 800-1000 miles per day. Drivers are limited by DOT to drive only 8 hours and then they have to rest.

How Far in advance do I need to reserve my Car Shipping?
When you know your dates of moving, this is when you should reserve the car transport service. The more time in advance you can notify us, the better. Last minute orders most of the times get picked up on time, however a plan B is strongly recommended.
Do I need to make special preparations before my car is picked up?
We recommend to wash the car and take pictures. Check there is nothing valuable in the car or any personal items or papers you might need with you. Fuel tank should be at 1/4 of a tank or less.
Do I need to tip the driver?
Tipping the drivers is left for the customers discretion only. If you're happy with the driver and you feel you want to show him that, tips are always appreciated but it is not a must or part of the arrangement.
