In order to maintain our cost-effective commitment to you, your auto insurance policy is used as the insurance coverage. This is done under the concept of ‘Permissive Use’, which means that your insurance coverage remains in effect when you give our driver permission to drive your vehicle. Your insurance coverage must carry a minimum of $100,000/$300,000 property damage liability and bodily injury liability, as well as full collision and comprehensive coverage for the duration of the trip. If needed, most insurance companies will temporarily increase the vehicle insurance limits upon request. Your insurance policy must be in full force and effect for the duration of the trip. We recommend that you verify all insurance questions and/or concerns with your insurance company.

Our driver will comply with all laws regarding a traffic accident (i.e. rendering aid if needed, notifying the police, exchanging information, and make every attempt to get a police report taken) and notify you as soon as possible. Our drivers have AAA premium memberships and will be able to have the vehicle towed to a desired location for repair. Reliable Driving will work with you to best resolve the issue and, if possible, continue the trip.

When relocating your vehicle, repair costs will be covered under your vehicle’s insurance policy. If an accident is caused by our driver, Reliable Driving will reimburse the owner up to $500 towards the policy deductible.

Our driver will monitor weather and road conditions throughout the trip. If necessary, they will modify their route to avoid unsafe road conditions.  If modifying the route is not on option, the driver will wait in a safe location until driving conditions improve.

We will notify you as soon as possible. Our drivers have AAA premium memberships and will be able to have the vehicle towed to a desired location for repair. Reliable Driving will work with you to best resolve the issue and, if possible, continue the trip.

We provide personalized door-to-door service while working solely and directly for the customer during the entire trip. We understand the importance of meeting the customer’s desired time schedule and providing the customer with frequent and consistent updates throughout the trip.

A few of the downfalls of auto transport (car carrier) services are:

  • Does not provide door-to-door service
  • Does not work on a schedule convenient to the customer and often takes weeks to deliver a vehicle that we can deliver in just a few days
  • Auto carrier driver’s do not work solely and directly for one customer during the entire trip and they do not allow for frequent and consistent updates
  • Does not allow you to pack personal belongings in your vehicle
  • Does not allow pet ride-alongs
  • Will not transport large vehicles such as moving trucks or motorhomes
  • Does not allow towing of a trailer
  • They transport multiple vehicles on the same car carrier, all going to different locations, and requiring several unloads and reloads which increases the risk of damage to your vehicle
  • You do not know who is driving the car carrier and different drivers are used throughout the trip
