5 Essential Tips for Working with Car Transport Companies
So, you’ve finally purchased the car of your dreams, but it’s located on the other side of the country. Fortunately, car transport services can help you move your vehicle from one place to another with ease. If you’re unsure about how to handle car transport arrangements, these tips will guide you through the process.
Understanding Costs
Start by asking the car transport company for the total cost of transportation. It’s wise to gather quotes from several companies to compare rates. The price typically depends on:
- Origin and destination points
- Type of vehicle being transported
- Date of departure
- Transport service type (e.g., door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal)
Payment Methods
Inquire about payment options. Most companies won’t require full payment upfront, though some might ask for a deposit of no more than 25% of the total cost. Cash and checks are commonly accepted. If you opt for credit card payment, be aware that a surcharge of 2-3% might apply.
Review the Contract Carefully
Avoid relying on verbal promises. Ensure every agreement is documented in writing. Check for clauses regarding penalties in case the company fails to deliver your car on time or if you cancel the contract. Penalties for cancellation should not exceed $250.
Insurance Coverage
Make sure the car transport company insures your vehicle against potential damage. Request a copy of their insurance policy and understand whether the coverage is primary or secondary. Keep in mind, the company won’t be responsible for any personal items left in the car.
Inspect Upon Delivery
When your car arrives, take the time to inspect it meticulously for any damage. Check the mileage and condition, including the roof and bumpers. Though damage is rare, document any issues you notice and have the driver acknowledge them by signing.
By following these tips, you can navigate the car transport process with confidence, ensuring a smooth and secure transfer of your vehicle.
