Houston car shipping FAQs

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Also remove automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading.

A simple way to save money is by opting for open auto transport rather than enclosed. You can also save money by keeping your pickup date flexible, meeting your truck driver near a main route and avoiding seasonal demand.

Yes, your vehicle will be covered by the carrier’s cargo insurance. Additionally, Montway has its own contingent cargo insurance which protects you for up to $250,000 should the trucker’s policy fail to fully cover a valid claim.

You should book your car transport as soon as you know pick up and delivery dates and locations. The further in advance you can schedule shipping, the more likely your vehicle will be delivered within your desired timeframe. We suggest booking between two and three weeks prior to the pick up date. Expedited pickup options are also available at an additional cost.
