Is My Car Fully Insured During Car Transport?

Looking to ship your vehicle via a car transport company but not sure whether your car is fully insured or not? Or maybe you are wondering if there’s a way to make sure it is covered entirely and equal to its financial value? Well, read this guide to know everything.

This Depends on the Company & Service:

Insurance for vehicles depends on the car transport service providers you work with. Most of them have auto shipping insurance known as the ‘Cargo Insurance’, but to what extent? This is something you will have to discuss with the company. Not every auto transport company will cover your car fully, and that needs to be discussed with them before you start with the auto shipping journey.

Easy Auto Ship offers comprehensive car shipping insurance, which means we will cover your car fully. But this can vary sometimes depending on the type of vehicle, so you need to ask us about your specific car before sending it off with our carrier.

You Can Get GAP Insurance:

Now, if you get auto transport service from us or any other car shipping company and discover that your vehicle is not fully insured during the transit, then you can take out GAP coverage. This is exactly what it sounds like; it covers the gap between the insurance coverage offered versus the value of your vehicle.

You will have to pay extra cost to include gap coverage, but then your vehicle will be fully secured from any type of danger, and you will have peace of mind knowing your investment is secure. However, most of the time, you will not have to take out the GAP coverage because our own insurance policy will suffice.

Plus, the best part is, if you are shipping an expensive vehicle using our enclosed container transport, then we offer a much higher coverage amount than the open carrier. This means your expensive car will be covered according to its value and not according to our regular insurance policy coverage.

Know What’s Covered & What’s Not:

First thing to remember is not everything in your car will be covered by an insurance policy. We mean that if you ship any personal belongings inside the car, those will not be insured. This is because car transport companies only get their license to ship cars; we are not licensed to ship anything else.

However, we do allow our clients to ship up to 100lbs of personal items inside the car. But, since we are not transporters of anything other than cars, our cargo insurance doesn’t cover anything else besides vehicles. So in case something happens to your personal stuff or it gets stolen, you will not be compensated for it. That’s a risk that you will have to take if you want to ship something else with your vehicle.

Besides this, you need to ask the car transport company about every scenario in which the car is covered. For instance, some do not offer coverage if the car gets destroyed or damaged because of an act of God. However, some companies do cover this kind of damage. So it depends on you need to ask for the fine print listing everything covered and every situation under which it is covered.

Parting Words:

Car shipping insurance coverage ranges from a few hundred thousand dollars to more than a million dollars depending on the type of service (enclosed or open) and the type of car you are shipping.

Make sure to get on the phone with the representative of your vehicle transport company and ask them about all the details in advance.
