Car Shipping Insurance:
By Law, all car carriers must carry two forms of insurance.

Preparing your Car for Transport:
Basically all you have to do it treat you car as you would normally, and secure any loose items. Do not pack your vehicle with personal items, as The Department of Transportation "D.O.T" does not allow us to ship cars packed with items for safety reasons.

1. Liability Insurance - This type of policy will cover any damages due to driver error. All our drivers have $1,000,000 worth of liability insurance.

2. Cargo Insurance - This type of policy covers scratches and dents in the car moving process. All our auto shipping drivers have a minimum of $50,000 coverage per car in cargo insurance as required by the "D.O.T." depending on what is being shipped on our trucks, many of our carriers have higher coverage amounts.

3. How to Determine the Cost of Shipping your Car: There are several factors that effect auto shipping prices. We have to determine if you would like to ship door to door or terminal to terminal. Once this is figured out then you have to decide if you would like to enclose the vehicle or ship it in an open carrier. Open transport is generally about 1/3rd less expensive. Open transport is used about 90% of the time. Contact your carrier to get the most up to date rates.

4. Does the Size of a Car Matter when Moving? Yes. Because shipping is based upon the size and weight of a vehicle, the size of your car that is being transported is very important. A good rule of thumb is small trucks are about 50 dollars more than a sedan going the same place, and SUV's are about $100-$125 more. Large trucks typically are $200-$250 more.

5 . Inoperable Car Shipping: Rolling, Breaking, and Steering: these are the requirements for cars to be shipped. Inoperable cars typically costs about $150 more than a car that runs. Additional fees will apply if your car can't do one of those three.

6. Book your transport in advance: It's important to try to allow 2 weeks for your car to be shipped. You will generally get a cheaper rate if you schedule your car moving in advance so that our car carriers are able to arrange pick up and delivery. For an additional fee, certain shipping and pickup dates can be arranged.

7. Car Transport time and Delivery Schedules: East to West is usually 7-10 days. North to South is about 5-7 days. Current weather conditions, time of the year, and location of the transport can also be factors.
