Terms and Conditions of Service
By requesting and retaining the transport services of My Auto Transport Services, the Customer acknowledges its agreement to the following terms and conditions of service:
- My Auto Transport Services is a property broker retained by the Customer to make transportation arrangements with a Carrier on the Customer’s behalf. Customer fully understands that by allowing the carrier to pick up the Customer’s vehicle(s), Customer shall be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the Carrier’s bill of lading. When a Carrier is assigned, My Auto Transport Services will provide the Carrier’s information and pertinent documents to the Customer via email. This will include the name and contact information of the Carrier and, in select cases, the carrier’s insurance card and picture ID of the assigned driver. It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to share the Carrier information and all provided documents with their pickup contact. It is also the pickup contact’s sole responsibility to verify and only release the vehicle(s) to the assigned Carrier exhibited in the shared documents and who is in possession of a dispatch sheet provided by My Auto Transport Services clearly stating the name of the Carrier on-site to conduct the transport. If the vehicle(s) is released by the pickup contact to another Carrier not assigned by us, or if the pickup contact fails to correctly verify and identify the Carrier prior to release, My Auto Transport Services will not be held liable for theft, damage, or additional charges.
- The customer further acknowledges having ample time and opportunity to read this agreement prior to entering same and the customer understands fully the terms and provisions of the agreement and has voluntarily entered into same.
- Customer may not unilaterally change any term or condition of this agreement without the express written consent of My Auto Transport Services. My Auto Transport Services expressly rejects any other terms and conditions that have not been expressly agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of My Auto Transport Services.
- My Auto Transport Services agrees to arrange for the transportation of the vehicle(s) described in the quotation to be carried out on or about the requested dates. My Auto Transport Services will designate a Carrier to perform the carriage of the vehicle(s) from origin to destination. There are absolutely no guarantees regarding pickup or delivery times and dates. Neither My Auto Transport Services nor the Carrier shall be held responsible for loss or damages occasioned by delays of any kind or for any reason, car rental fees, or any accommodation fees. Neither My Auto Transport Services nor the Carrier shall be held liable for the failure of mechanical, electrical, or operating parts of Customer’s vehicle(s).
- My Auto Transport Services agrees to plan for the shipment of the described vehicle(s). The Customer acknowledges and understands that ample notice of intent to ship is a primary contingency factor. The Customer also acknowledges and understands that any shipment, regardless of the type of trucking, may be delayed due to adverse weather or road conditions, illness, mechanical breakdown of trucks, supply and demand for trucks and drivers, hours of operation, etc. If consequently, the Carrier cancels, My Auto Transport Services has the right to arrange for another carrier for a period of 3 (three) additional days. IN ABSOLUTELY NO CASE WILL My Auto Transport Services BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OR REIMBURSE TOLLS & CAR RENTAL EXPENSE.
- The Customer’s relationship with the carrier is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Carriers’ straight bills of lading, copies of which are available at the office of the Carrier.
- The carrier’s responsibility begins when the Customer or its agent or representative releases the vehicle(s) to the Carrier at the origin and terminates when the Carrier delivers the vehicle(s) at the destination. My Auto Transport Services must be notified should the Customer be unavailable for pickup or delivery so that alternative arrangements can be made. If a carrier is assigned and the vehicle cannot be picked up for any reason, there will be an additional $200.00 charged to the Customer’s credit card. This charge will be applied to rescheduling and/or dry-run fees of the carrier. Postponing the transport of a vehicle must be done by the Customer no less than 10 business days prior to the first available pickup date. If a carrier has already been assigned, normal rescheduling fees will apply. If the Customer decides to postpone the pickup dates of their vehicle(s) beyond 14 days from the original dates, the price of the transport is subject to change based on current rates for the rescheduled dates.
- My Auto Transport Services hereby notifies Customer that their vehicle will be driven on and off the carrier or to and from the carrier at the pickup or delivery site. Should the carrier be unable to access either site, the Customer or consignee shall make a reasonable effort to meet the truck at a suitable location. If a vehicle is NOT operational and/or the carrier cannot physically reach the location, a local tow truck may be used to deliver the vehicle to the assigned carrier at the expense of the Customer.
- All vehicles to be delivered by the authorized carrier with a balance due shall be paid by CASH, MONEY ORDER, or CASHIERS CHECK ONLY (US funds). Should delivery be attempted after attempted notification (3 to 24 hours voice notification to phone numbers provided by Customer) and Customer or his agent does not have proper funds or is unavailable to receive delivery, vehicle(s) may be taken to and left at the nearest terminal at the discretion of the carrier, where Customer will have to retrieve and pay for storage or redelivery fees. In the event the Customer decides to arrange to make full payment with a credit card at the time of the booking, the order will be subject to a 5% service charge. Acceptance of other forms of electronic payment, including cash apps for the balance due, is solely at the carrier’s discretion.
- My Auto Transport Services does not guarantee transport by any specific driver/carrier.
- If Customer is shipping an inoperable vehicle. Customer is responsible for fully disclosing the condition of the vehicle and that it is inoperable. Customer may be required to help load and unload said vehicle at the discretion of the driver. Should vehicle(s) become inoperable during transport, $200.00 will be due at the time of delivery in addition to any other money owed. It is the Customer’s responsibility to make sure the vehicle is in proper working order. INOPERABLE VEHICLES MUST BE ABLE TO ROLL, STEER AND BRAKE. If the inoperable vehicle does not meet any one of these three conditions, additional fees may apply. If a vehicle is INOPERABLE and the carrier cannot physically reach the location, a local tow truck may be used to deliver the vehicle to the assigned carrier at the expense of the Customer.
- Carriers arranged by My Auto Transport Services will not knowingly transport vehicles with personal or household items in the passenger or trunk compartment. Federal regulation prohibits the carriage of such items. If such items are contained in the vehicle at the time of pick up by the carrier, such items become the sole responsibility of the Customer and additional fees may apply depending on the weight of the items and are left solely to the discretion of the carrier assigned.
- My Auto Transport Services, its agents, officers, directors, and Carriers arranged by My Auto Transport Services will not be responsible for damages arising from vandalism, theft, riots, strikes, political unrest, acts of terrorism, acts of God (including but not limited to fire, flooding, hail, sandstorm, tornadoes, and earthquakes) or objects flying from the road or sky during transport. Customer and other interested parties should maintain their own insurance covering the vehicle(s) during shipment.
- The Customer is responsible for preparing the vehicle(s) for transport: all loose parts, fragile or protruding accessories, low-hanging spoilers, fog lights, antennas, etc., must be removed and/or properly secured. Any part that falls off in transit is the Customer’s responsibility, including damages done by said part to any and all vehicles involved. This includes maritime preparations of the vehicle in compliance with the requirements set forth by the ocean transporter and provided to the customer at the time of booking.
- If damage should occur, all money owed for transport must be paid to initiate a claim. Damage must be noted in the proper place on the bill of lading and signed by the driver and Customer or consignee regardless of weather or time of day. Signing the bill of lading without any notation of damage verifies that the Customer or consignee has received the said vehicle in good condition and that My Auto Transport Services and the Carrier are relieved of any further responsibility. The customer or consignee MUST check the vehicle thoroughly. ***Please see line item #31 for a list of exclusions.
- My Auto Transport Services and the Carrier must also be notified of any damage by phone within 24 hours. The customer must submit in writing a description of the damage, clear pictures, and 2 estimates within 10 days of receipt of the said vehicle directly to the designated carrier for any resolution to be initiated. My Auto Transport Services will support you in this effort should such a problem occur, but in no way will My Auto Transport Services accept responsibility for any negligence of the assigned carrier. If the vehicle is valued at a higher than the market rate, it is suggested that the Customer purchase a special insurance rider. Customer is hereby informed and understands that claims against motor Carriers are governed by federal law, the Carmack Amendment to the ICC Termination Act of 1995, 49 U.S.C. §14706, and claims against ocean Carriers are typically governed by the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 46 U.S.C. §30701. The customer is urged to seek independent legal advice (at the Customer’s sole expense) on these laws in the event of a claim.

The customer understands that changes in the distribution of funds or a breakdown in the 2-installment format may apply, resulting in additional charges to the customer’s credit card.
