Do I drop off my auto or do they pick it up?

Almost all auto shipping companies provide door to door service. The driver of the auto shipping carrier will generally call the designated pickup person 12 to 24 hours in advance to make an appointment to pick up your vehicle from your home or business. Since these carriers are 80 feet long and weigh about 80,000 pounds, door to door means as close to your home as possible. If you live in the mountains or there are residential weight restrictions where you live, the carrier will arrange to meet you at a nearby grocery store parking lot.

Does my car stay on the auto carrier for the entire trip?

In almost all cases the auto carrier that picks up your car is the one that will deliver it. Some auto shipping routes do require two truck moves. It is important to ask the auto shipping company if your shipment will be a two truck move.

How do I find out when my vehicle will be pickup and or delivered?

Each auto shipping company will provide tracking tools for you whereas you may inquire on their website or via email or phone as to when your vehicle will be picked up or delivered. Current location and even weather reports on your route are available from some auto shippers.

Do I have to be present at pickup or delivery?

No, it does not have to be you that signs for pickup or delivery. The auto shipping company will pickup and or deliver your vehicle from any person that you designate.

What should I do if my automobile is damaged when I receive it?

It is important to make sure that any dings, dents, or scratches that were not on the inspection report at pickup are noted on the inspection report at delivery. The next step is to take pictures of the damage and two estimates for repair and submit copies to the auto shipping company.
