Booking and Payment Terms

Deposits: A deposit is required to secure your booking. The deposit amount will be specified in your transport agreement.

Payment Methods: We accept credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, and certified checks. Payment details will be provided in your booking confirmation.

Final Payment: The remaining balance is due upon delivery of your vehicle. Payment must be made directly to the carrier unless otherwise specified.

Pricing: All quotes are estimates based on the information provided. Final pricing may vary based on vehicle condition, accessibility, and market conditions. Any changes will be communicated prior to dispatch.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations must be made in writing. Deposits are non-refundable once a carrier has been assigned. If you cancel before carrier assignment, a partial refund may be issued minus administrative fees.

Customer Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate information about your vehicle including make, model, year, condition, and modifications
  • Ensure the vehicle is in operable condition (unless otherwise specified as inoperable)
  • Remove all personal belongings from the vehicle (up to 100 lbs in the trunk may be permitted)
  • Have no more than 1/4 tank of fuel in the vehicle
  • Provide valid contact information and be available for pickup and delivery
  • Inspect the vehicle thoroughly upon delivery and note any discrepancies on the Bill of Lading

Insurance and Liability

Carrier Insurance: All carriers are required to maintain cargo insurance and liability coverage. Insurance certificates are available upon request.

Claims Process: Any damage claims must be noted on the Bill of Lading at the time of delivery. Failure to document damage may result in claim denial. Claims must be filed within 7 days of delivery.

Limitations: Insurance does not cover personal belongings, pre-existing damage, mechanical failures, or damage caused by acts of God. The carrier's insurance liability is limited to the actual cash value of the vehicle.

Broker Liability: As a broker, Top Auto Logistics arranges transportation with third-party carriers. We are not liable for delays, damage, or loss caused by the carrier. Our liability is limited to ensuring carriers meet our vetting standards.

  • Top Auto Logistics shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the transportation services
  • We are not responsible for delays caused by weather, traffic, mechanical breakdowns, or other circumstances beyond our control
