Do I need to be present for pickup/delivery?
Yes. Either you or an authorized person (18+ years old) must be present for both pickup and delivery to hand over keys and sign the inspection forms.

Smart Auto Move was a positive experience! The payment never changed and the delivery style (inside/outside) didn't vary either which was a relief. I shipped two cars and they were picked up 3 and 4 days early which isn't a huge deal but I did have to move some plans around. Both drivers were so kind, careful, and communicative. I would fully recommend them and use them again!
