Transporting a vehicle comes with some inherent risks for damage occurring to your car from weather, vandalism or traffic collisions. Whether you are shipping your everyday vehicle or something more unique like a boat, classic car or a truck – only work with a shipping company that is licensed, insured, and bonded in order to protect your vehicle from any hazards. If your transportation company does not have insurance, you will be left with the bill for the damage to your vehicle. Fortunately, at Direct Connect Auto Transport we are licensed, bonded and fully insured to cover any damage that may occur to your vehicle.

 

The damage may be from inclement weather, a car accident, flooding, vandalism, etc. There are unfortunate instances where damage does happen, and sometimes there is nothing fleet managers or the transporters can do. For instance, if your vehicle is in an open transport vehicle while there is a hail storm or heavy wind that picks up debris your car can be damaged. Since hailstorms happen so quickly and so often at certain times of the year, it may be difficult to completely avoid the storm. If you opt to use enclosed vehicle transport, this may protect you further from any storm damage.

 

According to Fleet Financials, the most common causes of damage to vehicles are either weather-related events or damage from accidents or simply being careless. At Direct Connect Auto Transport, our goal is to avoid damage to every vehicle we ship as we strive to make every vehicle transport as seamless and stress-free for our customers as possible. We want our customers to be assured that their vehicle will arrive safely and on-time, every time.
Floods are another major cause of vehicle damage. Since there are many manufacturers moving overseas for production, it has become more prevalent to see flooded vehicles in transit. Since acts of nature are sometimes unavoidable, working with a reliable auto carrier company that you can trust is paramount. Your investment is important to us, and we want to make sure that your vehicle is kept safe throughout the transportation process!
