• Keys: Make sure to provide a complete set of keys for your car hauler (ignition, trunk and glove box keys). This is also a DOT requirement. In the event a car hauler is questioned, this will keep him in compliance with transport regulations.
• Removable Components: Car phones, many GPS systems, and stereo face plates are removable. Remember to remove these items from your car before shipping.
• Antennas: If you have antennas for your CB, radio or cell phone that can be removed, take them down. When possible, lower retractable antennas to prevent them from breaking off.
• Spoilers/Fog Lights/Luggage Racks: Detach anything that is removable from the exterior of the car. This will help the car hauler when loading/unloading and will prevent damage to your auto accessories.
• Gas Level: A car should only have about ¼ tank of gas when it is being shipped. This reduces the weight of the car hauler on the road and provides added safety.
• Check Fluid Levels: Prepare your car for a change in weather when shipping to a diverse climate. It is a good idea to check antifreeze and other fluid levels before transport.
• Car Alarms: Disable the car alarm prior to shipping. Your car is likely to feel a few bumps along the way, and if the alarm is activated during transport, it could wear down the battery. If a car hauler has to recharge the battery before moving the vehicle, this could cost you additional time and money.
• A Clean Car: Washing your car prior to transport will help you detail the vehicle’s condition for the Pre-Pickup Inspection. To protect you from damage claims, it is important to give the car hauler an accurate assessment of the car’s overall condition, including chips and scratches in the glass.

ShipCarsNow is a federally licensed transportation broker, arranging and coordinating auto transport on your behalf with quality, insured car haulers. Ultimately, the motor carrier, railroad, ocean vessel operator or driveaway service provider contracted by ShipCarsNow is responsible for any damage caused by their handling of your vehicle, subject to certain limitations. We will work to resolve your claim equitably and seek recovery against any carrier who may have caused damage.

All licensed car haulers are required by Federal law and ShipCarsNow to maintain cargo damage liability insurance, but their insurance coverage may be subject to certain maximum liability limitations. ShipCarsNow requires our carriers (except for ocean vessel operators and railroad carriers) to provide proof of insurance issued by a licensed insurance provider. Limits of insurance must be equal to the greater of the replacement cost of the freight being transported or $250,000 for any one occurrence in addition to cargo insurance required by applicable State or Federal laws and must cover all risk of loss and damage to property of others in Contractor’s care, custody, and control. The liability coverage of ocean vessel operators and railroad carriers utilized by ShipCarsNow will vary based on each such carrier's public tariffs or private documents as applicable.

ShipCarsNow has established processes to ensure that only reputable and insured car haulers handle your automobiles. For more details, please refer to the ShipCarsNow Shipper Agreement and the Claims and Inspection Management Manual.. If you have specific concerns or questions about cargo liability for your shipments, call us at 1-866-207-3360 or email us at claims@shipcarsnow.com , and reference the Subject: Liability.

The person receiving the vehicle should immediately and thoroughly inspect the vehicle and note any damage that may be transportation related on the Proof-of-Delivery ("POD") receipt presented by the car hauler before signing the receipt. This process ensures that the car hauler acknowledges the damage. You must then notify ShipCarsNow within two business days of the discovered transportation loss or damage and we will file a claim with the responsible car hauler on your behalf. Again, it is very important that both the driver and the receiver of the vehicle acknowledge all suspected transportation damage on the Proof-of-Delivery (POD) receipt. It is very difficult to prove that damage to a vehicle is a result of transportation when there is no record of any damage noted at time of delivery. Given adequate proof of transportation related damage, ShipCarsNow will seek to resolve your claim in a prompt and equitable manner to recover compensation from the carrier or carriers involved. For additional details, please reference ShipCarsNow’s Shipper Agreement, email claims@shipcarsnow.com , or call 1-866-207-3360 with your questions.
