All vehicles are only insured while on the railcars, or in an auto carrier. It will be up to the owner to insure them while they are on the ground waiting to be shipped, or when they arrive.  The insurance does not cover any personal belongings left in the vehicle. Travel times given are based on average travel times from previous shipments. Weather conditions, track blockages, and track repairs can cause delays. Once a delay has happened, our agents can only give an estimated time of arrival, and estimates could change depending on the conditions.

Upon receiving your vehicle, you must sign a release form before you leave the yard. If there is any damage to your vehicle it must be noted at this time. It is agreed that once your vehicle leaves the yard, no further claims can be made.

The insurance does not cover rental vehicles, and all claims are subject to a $500. deductible. For vehicles 20 years old or older, it will be the owner’s responsibility to insure them.  Our insurance will not cover these types of vehicles.
