Will My Vehicle Be Fully Insured During Transport?
Absolutely. Your Vehicle Will Be Transported FULLY INSURED With a ZERO DEDUCTIBLE For The Duration Of Your Transport. Most Carriers Hold Up To $100,000.00 Insurance Per Vehicle, But It May Vary Depending On The Transport. Please Inquire With The Transporter That You Choose In Order To Be 100% Certain Of Their Policies. Is There Such A Thing As Paying Extra For a Lower Insurance Deductible?
NO WAY! The Customer Will Always Have A ZERO DEDUCTIBLE During Transport With No Additional Cost. You Should Never Have To Pay To Decrease A Deductible Because The Carrier Pays The Deductible In The Case Of A Claim. Do Not Be Fooled Into Paying An Extra Fee For What You Are Entitled To. I Have A Few Persoanl Belongings, Can I Ship Them Along With My Vehicle?
In Most Cases, You Will Be Permitted To Transport A Specified Amount Of Personal Items. But With Some Carriers, You May Have To Pay An Additional Fee Based Upon Weight. Also, The Personal Belonings In The Vehcle WILL NOT BE INSURED DURING TRANSPORT. Please Inquire With Your Chosen Transporter To Verify Their Personal Belongings Shipment Policy. What Is The Average Transport Time Once My Vehicle Has Been Picked Up?
By Law, A Carrier Is Only Permitted To Travel Up To 500 Miles In One Day. So To Determine Approximate Transport Time, Take The Mileage In Between The Pickup Point And Delivery Point And Divide The Mileage By 500. That Will Leave You With The Approximate Transit Time For Your Move. Some Transports May Take Longer Than Others, So Please Inquire With Your Transporter. Why Does A Truck Or A S.U.V Cost More To Transport Than A Regular Sedan?
All Carriers Have A Certain Amount Of Alloted Slots On Their Trucks. They Also Have Very Strict Height And Weight Requirements That Must Be Obeyed. Generally, A Truck Or S.U.V. Will Be Slightly Taller And Heavier Than A Regular Sedan, So It Cuts Down On The Amount Of Cargo The Carrier Is Alloted To Take. It Is Usually Around $50.00 - $125.00 More For An Oversized Vehicle. What Is Required When My Vehicle Is Picked Up?
You Do Not Need To Have Any Major Documentation At The Time Of Pick-Up, Unless The Transport Will Be International. When The Carrier Arrives At Your Specified Pickup Location, An Inspection Report Is Required For Insurance Purposes. The Point Of Contact At The Pickup Location Will Walk Around The Vehicle With The Driver And Mark Down Any Imperfections On The Vehicle. Once The Inspection Report Has Been Signed, The Vehicle Is Ready To Go. What Happens If My Vehicle Shows Up With Damage?
In The Instance Of Your Vehicle Arriving With Damage, There Are A Few Steps That You MUST Make Sure You Follow In Order To File Your Claim. You Have To Make Sure That The Carrier Understands That There Is Damage Done To The Vehicle And ALL DAMAGE MUST BE NOTED ON THE INSPECTION REPORT. IF THE DAMAGE IS NOT NOTED ON THE FINAL INSPECTION REPORT, THERE WILL BE NO CLAIM. You Will Then Be Required To Receive An Estimate On The Damages To Send To The Carrier/Broker. Your Carrier/Broker Will Be Responsible For The Claim And Will Take The Next Steps In Order To Get You Your Money. IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ANY HELP FROM YOUR CARRIER/BROKER DURING THE PROCESS, YOU MUST CALL THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY AND FILE A CLAIM WITH THEM DIRECTLY.
