Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use open or enclosed auto transport?
Open transport (the multi-car carriers you see on highways) is safe for standard vehicles and costs 40–60% less than enclosed. Enclosed transport protects from weather and road debris — recommended for luxury, classic, or exotic vehicles.
Can I put items in my car during transport?
Most carriers prohibit items in the car during transport due to insurance and weight restrictions. Items left in the car are not covered by the auto carrier's insurance. A few carriers allow soft bags in the trunk — confirm in writing before packing.
How do I inspect my car at delivery?
Before signing the delivery receipt, do a complete walk-around in daylight. Note any new damage on the Bill of Lading before signing. Photograph everything. Do not sign a clean delivery receipt if there is visible damage — this releases the carrier from liability.
