By law, it is mandatory for all car shipping companies in the U.S. to be registered with the Department of Transportation. More so, all shipping companies are mandated to have insurance for every vehicle they are shipping.
Most car shipping company insurance will cover damages during shipping and the cost of that insurance is often rolled into the auto-transport fee. This insurance usually covers pick-up, transportation, and delivery.
You should ask the car shipping company you want to hire about their insurance policy, what it covers, and exclude, as well as its precise terms and conditions.
Here are the key damages most auto transport company`s insurance cover:
Theft or vandalism
Damage to the car during loading and/or unloading
Damage caused by collision during the car shipping
