When shipping a car, many customers wonder whether they need to be present at pickup & delivery. Understanding the car delivery process and auto transport requirements helps ensure your shipment goes smoothly and your vehicle arrives safely.
β What Happens During Car Pickup Delivery
When your vehicle is picked up:
- The driver inspects your car and documents its condition.
- You or a designated representative sign the Bill of Lading.
- Keys are handed over, and the car begins its journey.
At delivery, the process is repeated:
- The carrier inspects your car again.
- Any notes on damage (if present) are recorded.
- You sign off and take possession of your vehicle.
Being present allows you to confirm the condition of your car and ensures the car shipping pickup delivery goes according to plan.
π οΈ Can Someone Else Be Present?
Yes! You donβt always have to be physically there. You can authorize a trusted person to handle pickup and delivery on your behalf. Make sure they:
- Have a valid ID
- Can sign the necessary documents
- Understand the auto transport requirements
β Why Your Presence Matters
- Confirms your carβs condition before and after transport
- Reduces disputes about damages or missing items
- Ensures the car delivery process is smooth and hassle-free
