Door-to-door auto transport means that the carrier will pick up or deliver your car directly to your location (and not to a terminal). The pick-up or delivery area may be your home or another location of your choice.

You and the carrier can agree on another location nearby (a large parking lot, an open space area etc.). A good time to do this is when the driver or his dispatcher contacts you before pick-up or delivery. This usually happens within 24 hours before the event.

You can get updates on the location of your vehicle by calling us or emailing us during business hours between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.

Open auto transport carriers are the most common and popular type of vehicle transportation you will see you will see on the road. The trucks are typically 70 to 80 feet long and can move between 7 and 10 vehicles at the same time. The trailer on which the cars are loaded does not have any sides or a roof.

Enclosed carriers can typically haul only 6 vehicles or less, which is one reason why enclosed transport is more expensive and exclusively for luxury cars. Enclosed shipping provides maximum security for your vehicle, with the fully enclosed trailer offering protection from weather and road debris. Enclosed transport trailers cannot load as many vehicles as open transport carriers; therefore, delivery service is expected to be a little slower and requires more advanced notice for enclosed transport. The enclosed delivery method is also more expensive but is well worth the investment, especially if your car has unique delivery needs.

If not, it would need to be shipped on an enclosed transport equipped with a lift gate. Low clearance vehicles run the risk of being damaged on open trailer ramps.  By any means, give us a call to discuss your specific circumstances for an accurate quote.

Unfortunately we do not offer, terminal to terminal shipping. Most time’s it is not necessary to use a terminal when shipping your car. Most shipments are and can be door to door service. The shipments that require an auto shipping terminal are those shipments that begin or end in locations like, New York City, downtown San Francisco, or any place that will not allow 80 foot long auto transport carriers.

Yes. If your car is not operational, we can arrange and assign your shipment for you. All we require is that you fill out your car transport quote form that you designate that your car is “not running”. – Any vehicle that cannot be driven effectively and safely is considered a non-running car. This can mean that your vehicle will start up and still be considered non-running in terms of an auto shipper. If it can’t be loaded onto the truck, container, or ship that it will be transported in, it’s considered inoperable. In many cases, the inoperable vehicles we ship for customers are classic vehicles that are being worked on, or have been recently purchased from a seller in another state.

We would prefer that the car is completely empty because by overloading a vehicle, you may jeopardize the carrier’s required weight limits.

Coverage and Insurance of vehicles are covered 100% by the carriers that transport the vehicle, not Zip Auto Shipping and Logistics LLC.

Our carrier’s cargo insurance does not cover personal items inside the car.

If your vehicle experiences any kind of damage during transit, please proceed with the following steps:

1) Note damages on the Bill of Lading/Vehicle Condition report.

Note all damages very clearly, using a thorough description on the Bill of Landing Report. Be sure that the driver understands that the damage was not present pre-delivery. You will sign the bill of lading and the driver will as well, so that you are both acknowledging the damage’s presence and the true condition of the vehicle at the time of delivery.  Once documented get a copy from the driver.

2) Take pictures of the damage (on-site if possible)

3)  Obtain at least two estimates. When this is completed submit estimates and original photos to the carrier who shipped your car, attention CLAIMS. We will help in any way possible to facilitate the process but it is the carrier who will honor or deny the claim.

If you believe that your vehicle has been damaged during its shipment, the first thing you should do is call the police.

We allow up to 30 days for you to file a claim. If you don’t contact the company within 30 days, they may not be able to hold the carrier responsible for the damage.  – Rephrase it somehow

No, you don’t have to pay a deductible. Your car is fully insured by each of our carriers. All carriers have a deductible (just like you have on your insurance policy).

No. It is recommended but not required. If you are shipping a vehicle you already own for example, then the standard insurance cover you already have in place will not cover it during shipment.
