Will my car be insured if I ship it from Dallas to Los Angeles?
Yes, when a professional car transporter is transporting a vehicle, it is protected by the carrier’s cargo insurance, which is legally required for all licensed auto transport companies. This insurance covers potential damage that may occur during loading, transit, or unloading, giving you peace of mind throughout the shipping process. Before transport begins, the driver conducts a detailed inspection of the vehicle, documenting its condition in a Bill of Lading, which is reviewed again upon delivery. While the vehicle itself is insured, it’s important to note that personal items left inside are not covered, so they should be removed beforehand. For added protection, customers can also request proof of insurance and review coverage limits before booking. Working with a reputable company like Smart Auto Move ensures that your vehicle is handled professionally and insured from pickup to drop-off.
Can I put things in my vehicle if I ship it from Dallas to Los Angeles?
Yes, when shipping a vehicle from Dallas, TX, to Los Angeles, CA, you’ll be allowed to leave up to 100 pounds of personal items in the car at no additional cost, as long as they are securely stored in the trunk or below the window line. This is a convenient option for those relocating or needing to move extra belongings without shipping them separately. However, it’s important to note that these items are not covered by the carrier’s insurance, so valuables or fragile belongings should be removed before transport. Always check with your shipping provider for their specific policy, as some carriers may have stricter weight limits or restrictions based on the type of vehicle and transport method.
How do I prepare my car for shipping from Dallas to Los Angeles?
Preparing your car for vehicle shipping is a simple but important step to ensure a smooth and safe transport. Start by cleaning your vehicle inside and out so that the carrier can perform an accurate inspection and note any pre-existing damage. Remove all personal belongings, especially valuables, electronics, and loose items, as they are not covered by the carrier’s insurance and can shift during transit. Disable any alarm systems to avoid unnecessary disruptions, and ensure your car has about a quarter tank of gas—enough for loading and unloading, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight. Check that the battery is charged, tires are properly inflated, and there are no fluid leaks. Lastly, make sure the driver has any necessary keys or instructions, especially if your vehicle has special starting or operating requirements.
