• Be aware of seasonal fluctuations, when it is time for the snowbirds to start coming in the rates will go up due to the high demand.
• Larger vehicles take up more space and weigh more so they will cost more to ship.
• The more modifications and accessories attached to your vehicle such as lift kits, extended grills, etc. the more space you will need and can increase your rates.

• Q: Is my insurance or the driver’s insurance responsible for any damage?
  A: Our partners insure your vehicle during transportation. This way, you can feel secure knowing your automobile is in safe hands.
• Q: What if my vehicle is damaged?

• Q: What is the Bill of Landing?
  A: A Bill of Lading (BOL) is a legal document which contains important information about the shipment. The BOL will contain the year, make, model, automate, and condition of your vehicle. The Bill of Lading is the contract between the truck driver and the vehicle owner. Any and all damages to the vehicle must be reported on the BOL. The BOL is also the receipt of the transaction.
• Q: Can I ship a car that has expired registration?
  A: Yes, you can. Your vehicle does not need to have active registration or even a license plate. Since the car is on a carrier and not on the road, you do not need it registered.
• Q: How do I track auto shipping order while in transport?
  A: If you would like to track your vehicle, you will be given your drivers contact information as well as you will be able to contact your customer service representative at any time during your shipment.
