Under no circumstances will Starship Auto Trans deliver your vehicle on a different truck from the one it was loaded on. The only scenario where a different truck might be used is if the original truck breaks down during transport, and Starship Auto Trans arranges for a replacement to ensure timely delivery of your vehicle.

Typically, drivers will load your vehicle at a location they consider safe. Truck drivers must consider several factors when it comes to loading your vehicle, such as fitting all cars within the permissible length of the truck and adhering to federal laws to avoid overloading any of the axles.

The majority of cars are transported via an open auto transport, which is the most affordable option and offers $250.000 insurance coverage. This is usually $300-400 less than the cost of enclosed transport, which provides a higher insurance coverage and is mainly used for expensive vehicles such as super cars.

You can transport up to 100 lbs of personal belongings in your car for no extra cost, but they must be stored in the trunk or back compartment. If you want to take more than this, it will be an additional charge and must be placed in the front or back seat below window level. Nothing heavy can be carried on these seats and the driver’s seat must remain empty. Any items brought with you are not protected by insurance.

The Department Of Transportation forbids the carriage of any household items while in transit with a vehicle. Carrying such items inside a vehicle is at the owner’s own risk, and if the driver notices that your car is weighed down due to them, he may demand their removal or charge you additional fees. Truck drivers have no liability for any damages incurred from having these goods inside the vehicle.

We offer comprehensive bumper-to-bumper insurance coverage for your vehicle during transport. This means that your vehicle is insured for at least $100,000 for any type of damage during open trailer transport, and $250,000 for enclosed trailer transport, including scratches, total damage, theft, and fire. However, please note that your personal belongings inside the vehicle are not covered by this insurance policy. Your vehicle will be fully insured while it is on our trailer.
