When you’re moving somewhere and want to take a vehicle with you, driving it isn’t always possible or an easy option. Hiring a car shipping company makes the move easier and offers the convenience of having the ride ready when you arrive at the new location. Because you’re trusting such an important asset to this company, here are some questions to ask in advance.

What to Ask a Car Shipping Company

1. What Insurance Do You Offer?

Even if you hire a reputable auto shipping company, unavoidable accidents can occur and you want to know that you’ll be covered. You’ll likely be able to choose between full- and released-value insurance, depending on how much you want to spend. Full-value protection covers the complete replacement of anything damaged during the move, while released-value protection covers 60 cents per pound of the vehicle.

2. Can I Have a List of References?

Past customers can tell you what to expect from their services. Research the company’s reputation online on sites such as Yelp, Facebook, or Angie’s List®. You can then ask them for a list of references and contact these people for a more thorough background check. 

3. May I See a Contract?

A trustworthy company should be upfront about the pricing, including all charges you can expect and the full details of their service. Any contract they provide should outline these elements, including a sum of rates, when payment is due, when and where they will deliver your car, and the insurance protection you’ll get.
