It is imperative to note any damage to your car on your final bill of lading report when you receive the vehicle. The driver fills out this paperwork upon pick up when pre-existing damage is noted. Failure to record the new damage on the final bill of lading could nullify your right to a claim because the document releases the liability of the carrier once you sign it. Be sure to get a copy of the bill of lading and, if possible, take photos of the damage before signing.
