Alabama Car Transporting InformationA few things to consider when shipping your vehicle:1. PRICE. The 1st question you'll want answered is "what's the total cost?". Obtain quotes from several auto transport and car driveaway companies and be prepared to provide: 2. PAYMENT METHOD. While some car transport shippers and auto driveaway companies may not require payment in advance, others require a deposit (10-25% of the total cost), or full payment in advance. If a deposit is given, amount due is always required at time of delivery – often with a cashiers check or cash. Sometimes a surcharge of 2-3% is required when using a credit card with a car transport or auto driveaway company. 3. CONTRACT. READ YOUR CONTRACT CAREFULLY!!! IMPORTANT NOTE!!! Do not rely on any verbal promises from your car transport company. After you sign your contract, your car transport company will ALWAYS refer you to the contract for any complaints you may have, including cost to cancel your shipment. The main thing to look for is a clause that says there is no guaranteed pickup or delivery date. Even though most cars are delivered by car transport companies within the expected timeframe, most will not guarantee a delivery date. You can ask for the following things to protect yourself against verbal promises that you would have otherwise relied upon (also see #5 below): Ask for a contract clause (in writing) that waives the cancellation fee if the car is not picked up by your car transport company within some number of days of the scheduled pickup date. If you cancel within the alloted window, expect to pay some fee, which may vary from $50 to $250. Although most cars are picked up on the scheduled date or within a few days of that date, a 1 or 2 week delay may occassionally happen. Your cancellation clause should allow for at least a week beyond scheduled pickup date. It is difficult for any car transport company to promise a delivery date, however, if your car transport company offers a guarantee that covers a rental car, find out the cost of the guarantee (if any) and the maximum dollars per day covered. | |||||
