After you receive your auto shipping quote it is important to remember to check what forms of payment the carrier takes. Some auto transport companies may work a little differently when it comes to payment. Some companies may ask for full payment in advance, while some may just ask for a deposit. It’s important to remember that once you get the initial payment or deposit out of the way to keep your paper work for your records to ensure you are covered down the road. Sometime customers may get confused on how the payment procedure usually works. If the auto shipping company does not take your payment in full at first (which most do not) then what happens is you pay the initial deposit. After paying the deposit to the auto shipping company they usually require to pay the balance to driver upon pick.
Usually, the second payment due at pick up can be in the form of cash, money order, travelers check, cashier’s check or any certified form of payment. Customers should remember to go over the payment process with the shipping company before going to pick up their vehicle. Don’t put yourself in the position of going to pick up your vehicle and being told by the driver that the form of payment you have brought with you is not accepted. Contact the shipping company and confirm all of your questions that you may have about the remaining payment. Remember, doing the proper research beforehand is important and taking the time to do so will only make things easier for you.
