When shipping your car across the country, peace of mind starts with proper insurance coverage.
Every legitimate auto transport carrier is required by law to carry cargo insurance that covers your vehicle while it's in transit. This means your car is safeguarded against unexpected incidents like damage or loss during shipping. Before you book, always ask the company for proof of insurance and clarify exactly what is and isn’t covered—including any deductible and coverage limits.
Some trusted auto shipping companies go the extra mile by offering additional insurance protection. This extra layer kicks in if, for any reason, the carrier’s policy doesn’t fully cover a valid claim. It’s a smart idea for added reassurance, especially if you’re transporting a classic, luxury, or specialty vehicle.
To really protect your investment:
-
Double check your transporter’s insurance certificates.
-
Take clear photographs of your car before pickup and after delivery.
-
Remove personal items from your car to avoid coverage complications.
-
Ask about supplemental coverage options for high-value vehicles.
