If you are using a car transport service to relocate your vehicle its very important that you make sure you have the necessary insurance in place so that your vehicle is covered during its shipment.

Many people make the false assumption that moving a car is covered under their regular insurance, but the truth is that the majority of insurance policies only cover you while the vehicle is physically on the road, and that doesnt include when you are using a car transport service.

Some car transport companies will automatically provide you with a quote for insurance at the time you are looking to move your car, but others will only quote you for the physical car transport service and not the additional fees. For this reason, its very important that whenever you are getting quotes from car transport companies that you make sure that you fully understand what is included and what is not.

Of course, you may think that you dont need car transport insurance for moving a car, as the vehicle will be safe during the process. While the majority of the time this statement is true, the car transport company cannot guarantee what could happen on the road, from something as minor as a stone chip to your windscreen to more major issues such as a road traffic accident.

Like all insurance, car transport insurance simply guarantees you piece of mind when your vehicle is being relocated, so if the company you decide to use does not provide it in their quote, be sure that it is something that you ask for.
