Auto Shipping Insurance
People never buy a car without proper insurance. Like that when you ship your car to go across country, state, city- who is liable for any dents, scratches or damage? Your car will not suffer any damage in shipment, but if it occurs you need to be prepared. Below is a simple checklist to ensure that you are receiving proper insurance.
- Get everything in writing.
- Check their insurance certificate do they have one which is up-to-date. Ask certain questions such as: Will your car be covered for any damages en route?
- Does the auto insurance cover the vehicle during loading and unloading? Is the coverage same while the car is in transit?
- Do not load your car with personal items as they are not covered for any damage or theft in transit.
- Your car will be thoroughly examined by the shipper before it is being shipped. Be there in person to agree or debate any inconsistencies. When your car is delivered, be sure to do another thorough inspection before signing the condition report also known as bill of lading. This is done because shipper will be relieved from any damages if you find later. If you’re receiving your car during night, inspect the car in a brightly lit area as it can hide damage that would otherwise be visible under good or daytime light.
- If any damage occurred during shipment, write it in bill of lading and tell driver to sign it. Tell auto Transport Company about it and begin the damage reimbursement process.
- If you’re shipping company is not paying your damage claim contact Better Business Bureau. You can also contact Department of Transportation for filing complaints against unscrupulous auto shippers. If you feel it is necessary, get a court judgment.
If you notice a licensed, bonded car transport companies generally carry proper insurance so that they can reimburse damage claims. If you see the above checklist, you can use it as reference when you are getting ready to ship.
