Auto Shipping Auto Shipping Scheduling:car moving auto transport
Schedule your auto shipping at least 4 weeks before you move, giving
enough time to arrange for a car mover carrier to pick up your
vehicle. Basically, the more advance time the better. If you are not
available, please arrange an alternative authorized party such as
neighbor, friend or relative you can trust to transfer the car to the
car mover.

Most automobile shippers offer door-to-door service. However, in many
residential neighborhoods it may be difficult to drive in a large
truck carrying your vehicle. Because of potential difficulty in
getting the truck into your neighborhood, the car mover may ask you to
meet them at a nearby local shopping center or garage for pick up of
your vehicle. The same will apply for the delivery.

Make sure your car is adequately insured by the car mover for
relocation. Upon pick-up, the driver will do a condition report (bill
of lading) for any scratches or damages on the vehicle which should be
signed by both parties. The same will occur upon delivery; make sure
you check vehicle before signing. Reporting any damages or claims at a
later time is not advisable.

Do not leave personal possessions of any kind in your car. Of course
spare tires, car jacks, and other standard items that can be found in
a trunk of a new car are not a problem. Make sure anything left in the
car is tied down securely.


Auto Shipping Delivery

receive your car, that it will be stored in a secure storage facility
where you will be able to pick it up at a more convenient time. This
may be subject to additional charges.

While some car movers and auto shippers may not require payment in
advance, others require a deposit, or full payment in advance. If a
deposit is given, amount due is always required at time of delivery -
oftentimes with a cashier's check or cash. If full payment is required
prior to car transport or auto shipping service, consider using a
credit card so that charges may be disputed if circumstances warrant
such actions.

transport or auto shipping company. Ask for a copy of the car mover's
insurance coverage. Find out how the car mover's insurance works with
your own insurance in the event of damage during car transport.

writing. Your own car insurance policy may cover your vehicle in
transit; make sure to contact your insurance company to find out. It

it is shipped; items left in the car may not be covered by your
homeowner's insurance policy.

mover or auto shipping company should be able to provide you with a
specific delivery date. If you require a specific date for pick-up,
many car moving and auto shipping companies can accommodate you and
store your car at a terminal for an additional charge.

of the details. Look for damage not on the original report. Check for
changes in mileage and check every part of your car carefully
including the roof and under your car. Look for obvious damage or
changes to the car's condition that may have occurred during the
shipping. If there are any discrepancies, make sure to note them on
the condition report you received on pick-up of the car, and have the
driver sign the document. Please be advised that you should avoid
accepting your vehicle at night or at a location that does not permit
you easy access to inspecting all parts of your car. It is absolutely
essential that you perform a thorough examination of your car as
described above. Remember that once you have accepted your car, your
signed documentation is what protects you. If problems arise,
