IWhile some auto transport and car driveaway companies may not require any payment in advance, most require either a deposit or payment in full.
If the auto transport company requires a deposit, it is typically 10-25% of the total cost of shipping. When you pay the deposit in advance, the balance due is required at the time of delivery of your vehicle, and is paid directly to the driver delivering your vehicle. Frequently, a cashier's check or cash is required to release your vehicle.
In some cases, shipping companies do require the full payment up front. If you have a preference, you should check with the shipping company when you get an initial quote.
If you are planning to pay with a credit card, you should be aware that some auto transport companies charge a 2-3% surcharge on credit card payments, particularly if it is for the full shipment.
Many auto transport companies allow you to pay your deposit with a credit card, but the balance due at the time of receiving the car must be paid in cash or with a cashier's check.
