Can I put personal items in my car during shipping?
Most carriers permit up to 100 lbs of personal items stored in the trunk, out of sight. Remove electronics, documents, and valuables. Personal items are typically not covered by carrier insurance.
What happens if my car is damaged during shipping?
All carriers on the Haulin platform carry cargo insurance. At pickup, you receive a Bill of Lading documenting vehicle condition. If damage occurs, compare delivery condition against that report and file a claim with the carrier insurer.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?
You or an authorized representative must be present at pickup and delivery to sign the Bill of Lading. If you cannot be present, designate someone else in advance.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 12 weeks; 3 weeks during May-August ahead for standard scheduling. Last-minute bookings may be possible but can carry a premium when carrier capacity is tight.
What is door-to-door vs. terminal-to-terminal shipping?
Door-to-door service means the carrier picks up and delivers as close as safely possible to your addresses. Terminal-to-terminal shipping can be cheaper, but requires vehicle drop-off and pickup at carrier lots.
Does Haulin.ai work with licensed carriers?
Yes. Every carrier on the Haulin platform is checked for FMCSA licensing, insurance, DOT safety ratings, and customer reviews before matching.
