Step-By-Step Answers to Your Questions |
|
|
| -- I am shipping an
automobile for a client. What information do I need?
What do I
do? |
 |
|
AUTOS WHICH MAY BE INSURED: |
Our coverage for Motor Vehicles are
some of the broadest available.
For example, we offer coverage for vehicles more than five (5)
years old automatically through the system, where many do not.
Effective 17 March 2007 all "Classic Cars" - all autos more than
twelve (12) years old may be insured ONLY with specific approval
of Underwriters each and every time. |
|
PRE-SHIPMENT SURVEY REPORT: |
|
The first thing you want when you move any
motor vehicle is a complete, careful and comprehensive
survey of the condition of the
vehicle at the moment the vehicle is turned over to you as the
"Shipping Company."
You could be legally liable for any damage to the vehicle so be
careful to note every scratch, dent, ding, etc. that is on the
vehicle when you take possession of it for transport.
Have the Shipper sign and agree to your description of the
vehicle's condition in the Pre-Shipment Report.
SUGGESTION: It is not required, but IF your pre-shipment
survey notes, for example, minor damage to the right front fender,
take a picture of the damage. That way, if, upon delivery, the
fender is seriously damaged, you can show the Surveyor and Claims
office that much more damage was done during transit. Do this for
all scratches, dents or damage.

INSURANCE PAPERWORK: |
|
If you are offering cargo insurance to
the Shipper, then we strongly advise that you also give the
Shipper a complete copy of the insuring contract which would include:
-
Copy of the Pre-Shipment
Survey
-
Copy of the Certificate of
Insurance
-
Copy of the Insuring
Contract made up of:
The Shipper may
never read the clauses and exclusions in the insuring contract,
but if you always give all Shippers this information, then
in case of claim the Shipper could never say "they were not
informed."

|
PROPER PACKING & STOWAGE: |
The Container Handbook has excellent
descriptions of proper and improper stowage of automobiles in containers.
