The FAQ's: Auto Transport Insurance

Insurance for auto shipping is a pretty tricky subject, if you don't know what you're talking about and you don't know much about shipping a car - but for those of you in the know, you know it's really not as bad as you might think.

Your auto shipping carrier must have at least $750,000 of total cargo insurance on his or her auto transport truck; this means that every vehicle on the truck will be fully insured regardless of condition or value and any damages sustained during transport will be dealt with and paid for by the truck's insurance. Your vehicle will be insured from the moment it is loaded until the moment it is unloaded from the carrier, and any insurance policies you have on your vehicle through a personal insurance agent will be relegated to the back seat; you won't submit any damage claims through your own insurance, but rather through the carrier's insurance company.
