Before you book with Car Shipping Direct
- Get the price and pickup window in writing; ask what could change the price.
- Ask for the certificate of insurance (cargo coverage for your car's value).
- Avoid large deposits by wire, Zelle or gift card before a truck is assigned.
- Ask which carrier will haul your car, then check that carrier here too.
