contract closely because most transport services will not guarantee a pickup date or delivery date, but rather refer to
window of time in which they are scheduled.
Insurance is also an issue. Sometimes your own insurance carrier will not cover damages sustained to
vehicle while being transported on another. Verify what insurance coverage
transport service offers and if you purchase it, make sure it is listed in
contract. As with any company, you should verify
references of prior service.
Finally, once you've settled on a car transport service and signed
contracts, be sure that you receive an "Original Inspection Report." The transport service will inspect
vehicle prior to accepting it for transportation. It will note nicks, dings, scratches, dents and defects inside and out.
If there are scratches on
windows, these will all be noted on
"Original Inspection Report." Make sure you hang onto this, because when your car is delivered, you should take
time to go over it slowly. Verify that there are no problems other than what is listed on
report.
In most cases,
process of transportation is damage- free, but if your car has notable damage not listed on
report, then get
driver's signature in concurrence with
damage and notify
transport service. With
dual verifications,
company should work out a way to reimburse you for any repairs that are necessary. =========================================================== Discover vital information and advice about car and auto transport services.
