****IMPORTANT CONSUMER NOTICE****
Due to the instability of the current price
of diesel fuel, there may be a price increase to your original
quote. Auto Relocation Specialist will contact you first to
advise you of the increased cost. Choosing this option will
ensure your vehicle will be transported in a timely manner.
However, you will always have the option to continue looking for
a carrier at the original quoted price with the understanding
that it will most likely take longer than originally
anticipated. You do have the option to cancel your order without
cost or obligation.
Shipping agreements may be entered
into over the phone, by completing the shipping order form and
faxing it into our office, or by filling in the shipping order
form and emailing to our office. By any method, shipper (or
agent) is representing to Auto Relocation Specialist, that

The normal pickup timeframe is 1 to 10 business
days. Pickup and delivery dates are contingent upon carrier
availability and season. All dates and times given are an
approximation. We cannot guarantee exact dates or times of when
the vehicle will be picked up or delivered. Carriers may be
subject to delays. Auto Relocation Specialist will not be held
responsible for any expense related to a delay (car rental fees,
storage fees, accommodation fees, etc.)
Auto Relocation
Specialist does not guarantee transport by any specific driver,
carrier, or along any specific route.
Auto Relocation
Specialist will arrange for door-to-door transport of the
vehicle. We will never use terminal facilities to store the
vehicle while waiting for a carrier to pick it up. There are
times when carriers are unable to drive to a specific pickup or
delivery location. It is the responsibility of the carrier and
shipper (or agent) to make arrangements to meet at an
alternative location.
Deposit is paid by Paypal, credit
or debit card. There will be a 3% admin fee if paid in full. The
deposit information is collected at the time you place the order
but not processed until it has been verified that the
vehicle has been loaded onto the transporter and is in route to
the designated delivery location.
Payment to the carrier
is due upon delivery. Unless other arrangements have been made
ahead of time, payment will be made with cash, cashier's check
or money order. Should delivery be attempted after proper
notification (2 to 24 hours in advance to phone number provided)
and the shipper (or agent) is 1) unavailable to receive
delivery, 2) does not have the proper funds, or 3) refuses
delivery of the vehicle, carrier will transport the vehicle to a
nearby storage facility until the matter can be resolved.
Shipper (or agent) will be responsible for any accumulated
storage fees, redelivery fees, etc.
Offshore shipments
(Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, etc.)
require payment in full at the time the shipping order form is
submitted. Offshore payments can be made by the same methods as
deposits listed above.
Due to changing and unpredictable
market conditions, seasonal weather, traffic, mechanical
difficulties and fluctuating gas prices, Auto Relocation

call for an updated rate.
This shipping agreement is
subject to all of the Terms and Conditions of the carrier's Bill
of Lading and are incorporated herein.
Auto Relocation
Specialist agrees to have the vehicle(s) described in the
shipping agreement transported on or about the dates requested.
Auto Relocation Specialist will assign a reliable carrier
(agent) to fulfill the terms and conditions of this agreement.
The carrier's responsibility begins when the shipper (or
agent) signs the Bill of Lading at the time of pickup and
terminates when the shipper (or agent) signs the Bill of Lading
at the time of delivery. Auto Relocation Specialist must be
notified should the shipper (or agent) be unavailable for
pickup or delivery, or if either the pickup or delivery
locations change, with sufficient time to notify the carrier. If
a carrier is sent out and the vehicle is not available for
pickup, Auto Relocation Specialist reserves the right to charge
a $100 rescheduling fee.
Auto Relocation Specialist
hereby notifies shipper (or agent) that vehicles will be driven
on and off the transporter, or to and from the transporter at
the designated pickup and delivery locations, as needed to
facilitate the transport of the vehicle.
A $125 "In-Op"
fee will be applied to vehicles that are non-operational and do
not require more than a standard wench to load on and off the
transport vehicle. This fee is included in the quoted price when
the shipper (or agent) has indicated this in the request for a
quote. If the vehicle becomes non-operational at any time from
the time of pickup, or it was not known at the time the quote
was given, an "In-Op" fee will be applied and payable to the
carrier at the time of delivery.
Non-operational vehicles
may require different equipment to load and offload the
transport vehicle. It is the shipper's (or agent's)
responsibility to notify Auto Relocation Specialist and the
carrier of what makes the car non-operational. Vehicles
requiring more than a standard wench to load or offload the
vehicle will be subject to additional fees as determined by the
carrier. These fees are payable to the carrier at the time of
delivery. Please ask your carrier to provide documentation of
these additional fees.
Please notify Auto Relocation
Specialist at the time of requesting a quote of the correct
vehicle type (car, SUV, truck, van, etc) and whether there is
anything non-stock about the vehicle (lifts, oversized tires,
etc.) Vehicle type and alternations may affect the quoted price.
Auto Relocation Specialist is an agent for you. We arrange
for the transportation of the vehicle by finding an appropriate
carrier. We do not own trucks or physically transport the
vehicle. Our services end when the carrier is assigned and
contacts you regarding pickup and delivery of the vehicle.
Auto Relocation Specialist and the carrier are not
responsible for the transport of personal items in the vehicle.
Federal law prohibits Auto Relocation Specialist or the
carrier from doing so. Shippers (or agents) who transport
personal items in the vehicle do so at their own risk. Please
check with your private insurance to determine if coverage
exists. Auto Relocation Specialist. will not be responsible for
demurrage at any port facility.
Auto Relocation
Specialist nor the carrier will be held responsible for
vandalism, acts of God (fire, flooding, hail, sand storms,
tornadoes, earthquakes, etc.) or objects flying from the road or
sky during transport. Shippers (or agents) should maintain their
own insurance for these reasons.
Auto Relocation
Specialist will perform due diligence to insure carriers are
fully insured. Carriers are responsible for the vehicle while
the vehicle is in their possession. Auto Relocation Specialist
is not responsible for any damage done to the vehicle while in
the carrier's possession.
There should be an
inspection performed by the carrier at both the time of pickup
and delivery and a Bill of Lading completed. Shipper (or agent)
should inspect the vehicle carefully with the carrier at both
the time of pickup and delivery. Shipper (or agent) is
responsible for proper preparation of the vehicle 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
shipper's (agent's) responsibility, including damages done by
said part to any and all vehicles involved.
If damage
to the vehicle should occur, all money owed for the transport
must be paid to the carrier to initiate a claim. Damage must be
properly noted on the Bill of Lading and signed by both the
carrier and shipper (or agent). Without proper notation of
damage on the carrier's Bill of Lading, shipper (or agent)
verifies that the vehicle was received in good condition. Auto
Relocation Specialist must be notified by phone within 24 hours
of delivery of the damage. Auto Relocation Specialist will
support shipper (or agent) in filing insurance claims. Claims
are to be filed directly with the carrier's insurance. If the
vehicle is valued at a higher than market rate, we suggest you
purchase a special insurance rider.
This agreement shall
be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Washington and subject to the jurisdiction of Clark County,
Vancouver, Washington. Shipper (or agent) specifically waives
any right to jurisdiction of this matter at any other location.
Auto Relocation Specialist is only liable for up to the amount
of the deposit paid.
Our company will match any price
quoted by a 4 or 5 star rated Company on Transport reviews. The
matched price is only valid for up to 5 days. If a carrier
cannot be dispatched within the 5 days the price will go up to
the original quoted price. If the order is canceled a $75
cancellation fee will be applied.

carefully and print out a copy for your records. We thank you
for the opportunity to serve you.
