Your Car Shipping Questions Answered
How do I get a quote for my car shipping service?
Getting a quote is simple and fast. Just provide us with the pickup and delivery locations, the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and your preferred transport dates. We’ll use this information to provide you with a transparent, no-obligation auto transport quote.
How do I prepare my car for auto transport?
To ensure a smooth transport, your vehicle should be clean for a clear inspection at pickup. It’s also required to have no more than a quarter tank of gas. You should also remove any loose or non-essential accessories, such as aftermarket items, to prevent them from becoming detached during the journey.
Is my vehicle insured during the car delivery process?
Yes. Your vehicle is fully insured from the moment it is loaded onto our carrier until it is delivered. Our network of vetted carriers meets strict insurance requirements, giving you complete peace of mind.
What is the difference between open and enclosed vehicle transport?
Open auto transport is the most common and cost-effective option, where your vehicle is secured on an open trailer. Enclosed vehicle transport offers maximum protection from weather and road debris in a fully enclosed trailer. This is the recommended choice for luxury, classic, or exotic cars.
What happens on the day of my vehicle's pickup and delivery?
On both pickup and delivery days, your driver will call you beforehand to arrange a specific time and location. When the driver arrives, you’ll complete a brief inspection of the vehicle to document its condition on the bill of lading. This ensures a transparent and secure auto transport process.
How do I track my vehicle during transport?
We believe in direct and clear communication. Your driver will provide updates throughout the journey. For real-time updates on your car shipping service, you can call your assigned driver at any time. We also provide our customers with direct contact information for our dispatch team to ensure you always know where your vehicle is.
What payment methods do you accept for car delivery services?
Our payment process is designed to be simple and secure. We accept all major credit cards for the initial deposit to book your transport. The remaining balance for the car delivery service is typically paid directly to the driver upon delivery, which can be done with cash, certified check, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or money order. We offer flexible payment arrangements to fit your needs, including the option for the entire payment to be completed with cash on delivery in some cases
