Auto Transit FAQ
August 20, 2009 | Comments Off | Auto transport
Hiring a professional auto transit is one of the most important and responsible decisions you can make to protect your car during a move. All of the auto transits that we partner with are highly professional, and are licensed, bonded, insured, and have certification from all pertinent government bodies. By filling out the form above, and following the simple tips below, your car will be transported to its new location, quickly and easily.
Q: What’s the best way to for you to transport my car?
A: Our auto transit partners offer a number of options for auto transit, including open and closed carriers and a variety of do-it-yourself options, where you can rent equipment for your car’s transportation. Depending on the make and model of your car, you should have a discussion with the sales representative from each of the companies you get quotes for, and discuss the best option for your car in terms of both price and the safety of your vehicle.
Q: How do I get my car back?
A: When your car is ready to be delivered, you or someone you designate will have to be available to receive your vehicle. This may seem inconvenient, especially if you’re in the midst of a move, but it is for your protection. At drop-off, you’ll have an inspection of the car with a representative of your auto transit, which will ensure that your car has not suffered any damage along the way to its destination. If you do see damage to your car, you should document it and agree on it with the representative BEFORE you sign off on receipt of your car.
Q: How long will it take my car to be transported?
A: This varies based on the distance and method of travel, and while we can’t provide exact dates (due to traffic, weather, and regulatory considerations) you will most likely be provided with a window of time (usually 3-7 days) for auto transit and delivery.
Q: What kind of insurance will my vehicle have while with the auto transit I choose?
A: Your car will be covered under the auto transit company’s insurance, which is a federal requirement they must fulfill in order to operate. Classic and luxury cars may require some additional insurance, so be sure to check with your own insurance company to see what insurance will be in effect. Have all details of the auto transportation company’s insurance included in your written contract, and find out what you may have to pay as a deductible.
Q: Can I pack my car with some of the other items I’d like to transport?
A: Due to federal and state transportation regulations, auto transit companies are not allowed to transport personal items in your car. It’s important to realize that this is for the safety and protection of both your car and your personal items; insurance will not cover personal items left in the car and they can contribute to damage to your car while in transportation.
