What You Need to Know

What Is Auto Transport Insurance?

Auto transport insurance is the coverage that the shipping company or carrier has on your car while in transit. Just as you would not take your car out for a drive without having it insured, you should not ship it without adequate coverage. It keeps you financially safe in the unlikely case of damage.

What Does It Usually Cover?

Typically, professional auto shipping companies cover:

Damage in transit:  Scratches, dents, or other damage incurred during transit by the carrier.

Loading and unloading accidents: Accidents that can happen while handling the vehicle.

Carrier-related accidents: Damage done by the truck driver or other vehicles during transit.

At Bridgeway Logistics LLC, we use only licensed, insured carriers, so our clients can have peace of mind knowing their vehicle is insured.

What's Not Covered?

It's also good to know what insurance can exclude:

• 

  Personal items within the vehicle (these must be taken out prior to shipping).

• 

  Pre-existing damage that was already on the car at the time of pickup.

• 

  Acts of nature like earthquakes, floods, or hailstorms (insurance could be different).

• 

  Mechanical failures not related to transport, such as engine or transmission failure.

It's for this reason that documenting the condition of your vehicle prior to pickup is so important.

Your Role as the Vehicle Owner

Though the carrier's insurance protects you, you also need to:

Check your vehicle prior to pickup and take clear pictures from every side.

• Document any existing dents or scratches on the Bill of Lading (inspection report).

• Recheck upon delivery to ensure the condition of the vehicle is as agreed.

• Get answers beforehand regarding coverage levels and how claims are processed.

Additional Insurance Choices

For luxury, high-value, or vintage cars, some owners opt to buy additional insurance for added protection. Enclosed shipping also provides added safety by protecting the vehicle from road debris and weather.
