Make sure the necessary route for pickup or delivery is accessible by the carrier. Narrow streets, government regulations and low hanging overhead objects may cause problems for the carrier during the pick-up or delivery of your vehicle. If the pickup or delivery site is non-accessible, an alternative site such as a large open parking lot should be considered.
Have the vehicle in a place for easy access. Please take into account that most trucks are long and often tall. If you live in an area that is narrow, congested, or has overhead obstacals, consider meeting the driver at a local shopping center or large parking lot for loading or unloading
Different countries follow different set of protocols in auto shipping, for which purpose it becomes quite necessary that the cargo and freight shipping company is aware about those requirements,. If the automobile shipping company is not aware about the international auto shipping regulations followed in a particular country, then you have to face through stringent hassles and this seem to be really excruciating. Therefore, for your own good, keep in your mind that you choose the auto shipping company which is aware and updated on the protocols.
Your vehicle will need to be inspected with CW Auto Transport before Transporting. To make the vehicle easier to inspect, please insure that the vehicle is clean. The exterior should have little to no dirt while all upholstery should be visible inside the car. The inspection of the vehicle is for your benefit. If something was to happen to the vehicle during Auto Transporting, and it was not a damage noted before transport, we at CW Auto Transport would take full responsibility. Another inspection will be administered at the destination.
Most auto transport companies require a deposit that is 10-25% of the total cost or they require full payment in advance. If a deposit is given, the remainder due is paid at the time of delivery and is payment is often required in cash or a cashier‘s check (referred to as COD). Credit cards can typically be used for deposits, but may not be accepted for the final payment, which is given directly to the auto hauler. If credit cards are accepted for final payment, there may be a 2-3% surcharge. So, it is a good idea to ask your auto transport company about payment options upfront.
When everything is finalized, one of the last things you need to worry about is making sure that your car is ready to go. When your car is getting picked up (or you are dropping it off) make sure that you get an inspection report. This document has important information such as the condition your car is in, what time your car is being picked-up and the current mileage on your car. This is important to protect both you as well as the company. You want to make sure that every preexisting dent or scratch is documented so you know if your car received any new damages during transportation.
