Payment terms vary depending on the shipment and assigned carrier. Our team will explain the payment process before your transport is scheduled.

Vehicle Preparation

Before pickup, we recommend that you:
• Wash your vehicle.
• Remove personal belongings.
• Leave about one-quarter tank of fuel.
• Disable alarms if possible.
• Check for existing damage.
• Remove toll tags and parking passes.
Some carriers may allow a small number of personal items, while others do not. Please speak with our team before loading any belongings into your vehicle.

Delivery Questions

You'll inspect the vehicle with the carrier and compare its condition to the inspection report completed during pickup. Once everything is confirmed, you'll sign the final delivery paperwork.
If you need to change your pickup date, delivery location, or vehicle information, contact us as soon as possible. We'll do our best to accommodate your request.
