When you choose a car hauling service, you’ll find that they offer some kind of insurance. Now, most places are only going to offer minimal car hauler insurance, so it’s very important that you take a look at the policy. Whether you are going with an enclosed car trailer or an open one, things can happen and you want to be prepared.

If they are only offering the absolute basics, then you will probably want to supplement with your own insurance policy. Talk to your agency about coverage for third party hauling. You should be able to get something that will give you a bit more coverage.

Now, the thing to note is that a number of car hauling services allow you to upgrade your insurance if you want to. This may include things like fire coverage, flooding, etc. Before you sign anything, make sure that you check with your own agency to find out how much this would cost if you were to purchase the coverage yourself. Then you can look at what the car hauler is offering and make an informed decision.

While you don’t have to spend too much time researching, it’s usually in your best interests to do a bit of scouting before you just accept the car hauling service’s policy. The car hauler probably has decent coverage, but check to make sure. Also, keep in mind that there is a higher risk in using the open trailer instead of an enclosed car trailer.
