It means that the car carrier will get as close as physically possible to your front door, AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT COMPROMISE THE CARGO AND / OR YOUR VEHICLE(s). The carrier will pick up your vehicle from your door and deliver it to your door if the streets leading to your house can accommodate the size of the carrier and there are no overhanging trees or low bridges. As the driver approaches your pick-up / delivery location, they will call to confirm your address and discuss accessibility. If accessibility is limited, the Driver may suggest meeting at a local supermarket or mall with ample space to load / unload your vehicle(s).

In most cases, your vehicle(s) will be transported on open 8 or 10-car hauler, the same type of trucks used to deliver new cars to your local dealerships. Generally these trucks are 75 to 85 feet long and almost 14 feet high. Therefore, they are very hard to maneuver and are restricted to main roads that do not have any overhanging trees or low clearance bridges. Please bear this in mind when directing the truck to your home or pick-up locations. A local service may be used should the hauler / transporter encounter difficulty in reaching your pick-up / delivery. This is sometimes at extra cost to the customer.

Linus Auto Transport understands that ALL of our customers have individual needs. Our goal is to provide the highest quality service. In most cases, there is a pickup window of about 1-3 days from the day vehicle is ready for pickup, once vehicle is picked up the transit time varies depending on distance, in most cases 3-4 days. One important thing is lead-time: the more advance notice we have in booking your car, the better planned and coordinated your move will be.

Linus Auto Transport does not insure personal belongings for loss or damage during car transport. And per Department of Transportation regulations, personal items placed in the front or back seats of a vehicle during the car shipping process are prohibited. Outside of special circumstances (signed off by the driver for an additional fee), please make sure to remove all belongings from the trunk and cab of your vehicle before shipment. Additional weight may increase your car shipping cost compared to the quote you've received. Consult with your driver if you have questions about your particular shipping situation, or contact us directly. All auto shipping situations are unique, so we’re happy to assist you in finding a vehicle transport solution that works for you.

Auto transport is very simple: You should receive a call from the Transporter anywhere from 10 to 24 hours in advance of your pick-up date. The driver will arrive, review the vehicle with you, and load it on the truck. The reverse happens at the delivery point – the driver calls in advance, you will walk around the vehicle for damage and take delivery. Make sure your payment arrangements are complete and understood before the driver arrives. Again, most drivers prefer cash.

Costs are determined based on pounds / inches as these determine the ultimate load that a carrier can legally haul. Therefore, there will be a small price increase for larger, heavier vehicles.

Transport time ALL depends on the Transporter. Times listed below are only approximate but may help you with your initial planning. Only your Transporter can give you more specific times. Due to unknown road and truck conditions, ALL shipping times are estimated but are not guaranteed. MIDWEST to EAST COAST – approximately 4 to 6 days EAST COAST to WEST COAST – approximately 7 to 10 days SOUTH to the NORTH – approximately 5 to 7 days.

There are several factors that are taken into account when providing you with a price quote. The mileage between your pick-up location and your delivery location is the main factor in calculating your rate. Another factor is the make and model of the vehicle, as well as whether it's running or not. Vehicle modifications, such as larger tires, lifted, lowered, rack on top, etc., will also affect your final quote. The seasonal availability of drivers on certain routes adds to the cost of shipping your vehicle. Lastly, how soon your vehicle is ready for transport also contributes to the final quote. For a higher level of service, you can choose optional add-ons at the time of booking, such as top-load service or enclosed carrier.

First thing you should do is make sure the driver understands that the damage is new and was not on the original bill of lading. The damage should clearly be marked and noted, and then signed for by the driver. Upon completion of delivery, a call should be placed to your Transporter to inform them of the damage. In most cases, the Transporter will ask for an estimate and send you payment in a couple of weeks. Be sure that you have ALL of the documentation to back up your claim.

Deposit is fully refundable if the customer wishes to cancel before a driver has been scheduled. After a driver has been scheduled, the deposit becomes nonrefundable as we will have to compensate the Trucker for reserving the spot on their truck. The customer will receive confirmation of the pick-up and delivery dates, before the order is dispatched.

It's important to make sure the vehicle is completely clean, inside and out. This will help the Driver when conducting the initial inspection at pick-up to detect any pre-existing damage to your vehicle.

Make sure there is 1/4 tank of gas for loading and unloading the vehicle.
