Using Lake Charles Vehicle Transport Companies
When you are looking to book Lake Charles car transport services, keep a few key tips in mind:
- Inspect your vehicle closely: Once you submit it for transport, the company is liable for any damages the vehicle may sustain. However, should you accept your vehicle upon delivery without checking it and allow the representative to drive off without complaining of any damage, the company is no longer liable.
- Ask to see proof of insurance: The transport company in question might say they have it, but until you see proof, you canโt be sure. Always ask for proof of insurance from the transport company before signing a contract.
- Inquire about the experience of the driver: If you are having your vehicle personally driven by the transport company, ask about the experience of the driver. It is important that the person is qualified to drive over a long distance to get your car moved.
