When a transporter mentions a pickup window, they refer to the time surrounding your pick update. For instance, some shippers may have a 14-day window - that way, they can pick up your vehicle at any time between 7 days before and 7 days after your requested pickup date. Beware of lower-priced carriers who do not specify their pickup window; you may receive an outstanding price (too good to be true) for a car transport that never happens. Additionally, they may pick up your vehicle, and you may not see your vehicle for 8 or 12 weeks. Therefore, it is essential to make sure the transporter you choose can get and deliver your vehicle within a reasonable time frame. Remember that how much to get a car shipped is not always as important as how to transport a car across the country or next door.

There are many facets to vehicle transportin than just how much to get a car shipped.
Car transport shipping time depends on the transporter, time of year, weather conditions, and route.
Listed below are some fundamental ideas to help you along the way. When your transportation has been scheduled, you will receive an email with the pickup and delivery schedule. Make sure; to ask your shipper for their actual scheduled times.
Estimated Delivery Times:
East or West Coast to West or East Coast - approx. 7 to 14 days
Midwest or Central to East or West Coast - approx. 5 to 8 days
South to the North or North to South - approx. 5 to 8 days.
All shipping times are estimated; do not base your transport on these examples without first contacting your representative for assistance. Too many variables go into the time it takes to deliver any vehicle. Thus all times are estimates only! Your representative will also answer all your questions on transporting a car across the country or how much to get a car shipped.
Shipments are based on the weight that a truck can legally carry - this is why there is a slight price difference between $50.00 and $100.00 for a regular truck or S.U.V. Size of the vehicle also dictates how many vehicles a particular carrier can haul at any one time. The larger the vehicles, the fewer cars can be hauled; thus, smaller vehicles are cheaper to ship. Please ask your car transport specialist for the exact details on how much to get a car shipped, what is needed to prepare, and how to transport a vehicle across the country.
There is no such thing as secondary and primary - insurance works as such: Most carriers hold $1,000,000 liability coverage & $250,000 cargo coverage. This insurance covers damage done to your vehicle in transit - there is no other insurance during car transport. The auto transport carrier is the primary and only coverage. (exception: Automobile personal contents are not covered by any carrier insurance and, in most cases, if lost, stolen, or otherwise, will not be covered). It is always best to discuss the preparation of your vehicle when deciding how to transport a car across the country or just a short distance to avoid having to deal with insurance issues.
In short, carriers will cover damages caused by negligence on their part during car transport. Damage caused by theft, vandalism, weather, or the Act of God is typically never covered by the carrier and will be covered through your personal auto insurance company (verify your policy coverage with your insurance company prior to shipping). It is always best practice to ask your carrier about preparation on how to transport a car across the country or just a few miles as there is no difference. When discussing your shipping choices with your customer service specialist, ask about the different options you have, keep in mind that how much to get a car shipped is not always the essential part of shipping.

Vehicle damage is rare but occasionally can occur. You should first make sure the driver understands that the damage is new and was not on the original bill of lading. The damage should be marked, noted, and then signed for by the driver. Upon completion of delivery, a call should be placed to your carrier and/or broker to inform them of the damage. In most cases, the carrier will ask for an estimate and send you the payment in a couple of weeks. If the carrier is not responsive and unwilling to work with you to resolve the issue, make sure you contact their insurance company and make a claim. Be sure you have all the documentation to back up your claim - false claims can result in legal action by the carrier, insurance company, or agent. Be sure to alert WolfePack Car Transport if your vehicle arrives with damage. WolfePack Vehicle Transport will assist you in the claims process.
