This has to be one of the most popular questions asked when shipping a car. Many people are under the impression that since their vehicle is going cross-country, what harm could there be in packing a personal items in the car as well?

The answer is that quite a bit of harm could occur.

First of all, there is the safety issue for the transport driver, who has to be able to safely & easily enter and exit the vehicle and have a clear line of sight out the front & back for the loading and unloading of the vehicle.

Second, the vehicle itself can sustain harm if the items are loose and damage the interior due to their movement.

Third, other vehicles on the shipment are at risk if the objects exit the vehicle during transport and could possible damage them.

Fourth, all vehicles are transported unlocked for mandated Federal vehicle inspections. These inspections have intensified since 9/11 and in accordance with Homeland Security guidelines. This could provide the opportunity for items to be confiscated.

Remember, vehicle transport companies are not licensed to move Household Goods, only vehicles.

Given the potential harm that could occur, we ask that you always seek a safer, less expensive alternative.
