Great question! Yes, your car is typically insured while being shipped, but there are a few important details to know:

1. Carrier Insurance

   • Most professional auto transport companies carry insurance coverage that protects your vehicle during transit. This insurance usually covers damages that occur while the vehicle is in the carrier’s custody.

2. Extent of Coverage

   • The coverage can vary widely from carrier to carrier—some cover only basic damages, others offer more comprehensive protection. It’s important to ask the transport company about their insurance limits and what exactly is covered.

3. Your Own Insurance

   • Your personal auto insurance may or may not cover your vehicle during transport, depending on your policy. It’s a good idea to check with your insurer before shipping.

4. Additional Insurance

   • If you want extra peace of mind, some companies offer or you can purchase additional insurance for your shipment. This can cover things not included in the carrier’s basic policy.

5. Documenting Vehicle Condition

   • Because claims depend heavily on the pre-shipment condition of your car, taking detailed photos and doing a thorough inspection before shipping is critical.
