Review 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.

8. Double check your packing! Whilst you'll almost certainly be able to buy replacement items such as toothpaste or a toothbrush, it's not best thing to be doing when you arrive at your destination. Some people find it handy to type up a list on their computer and use this as an extra memory aid.

9. If you use any prescription medicines that you must take, bring two sets and pack them in different locations in case one bag gets lost. Also bring a copy of your written prescriptions, including those for glasses and contact lenses.

10. Bring a small carry-on bag with an extra set of clothes. If worst should happen and your bag is lost, you will have a change of clothes until your bag finally arrives. If you must take daily medication, bring a two-day supply with you in carry-on bag.
