This car shipping insurance is maintained by many of the car shipping carriers licensed by the FMCSA. Cargo insurance covers the scratches, dings and dents that could occur during car shipping transport. Very rarely is this an issue but its important to have this policy in place.

This car shipping insurance policy covers driver error. In other words, if the car transport truck was to catch on fire or roll over during transport your vehicle will be covered. The FMCSA asks that all auto transport carriers carry a minimum policy of 1 million dollars liability per car transport truck. So, in the unlikely event that an issue arises, the entire contents on the truck are covered for up to 1 million dollars.

3. Auto Transport Vehicle Inspection

Once the vehicle in question is picked up on location, you will be presented with a car shipping vehicle inspection chart. This is crucial and a very important step. Make sure that the transport truck driver points out any present conditions that you see by marking them clearly on the chart. When the vehicle is delivered, you will want to compare the chart from the pickup location to make sure that your vehicle is in the exact same condition as it was at the car shipping pick up location.
