Effective Date: October 24, 2026
Welcome to Downtown Car Shipping. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of downtowncarshipping.com and your interactions with our auto transport services. By accessing our website or submitting a service inquiry, you agree to these terms to the extent applicable to your interaction with us.
Please read these terms carefully before using our website or requesting vehicle transportation.
Downtown Car Shipping provides information and assistance related to vehicle transportation, including open car transport, enclosed car transport, door-to-door auto transport, terminal-to-terminal auto transport, long-distance car shipping, cross-country car shipping, and expedited auto transport.
The availability, scheduling, pricing, and details of transportation services depend on the route, vehicle, carrier availability, pickup and delivery conditions, and other relevant factors.
Specific service arrangements may be subject to a separate written quote, order confirmation, shipping agreement, or other service-specific terms.
Quotes are based on the information available at the time they are prepared. Final pricing may depend on factors such as:
Vehicle make, model, size, and condition.
Pickup and delivery locations.
Distance and route accessibility.
Selected transport method.
Requested pickup timeframe and carrier availability.
Seasonal demand, fuel costs, and other market conditions.
If important details change or the original information is incomplete or inaccurate, the quote may need to be revised. Any applicable price changes should be communicated before the customer agrees to the revised arrangement.
A quote or estimate does not guarantee a specific pickup date, delivery date, or carrier assignment unless expressly confirmed in writing.
Submitting a quote request or contacting us does not automatically constitute a confirmed booking.
A booking is subject to the applicable service agreement, confirmation, and any required customer acceptance. Customers are responsible for reviewing the details of their transportation arrangements, including the vehicle, locations, pricing, timing, and applicable terms.
Please notify us promptly if any booking information changes.
Pickup and delivery dates or timeframes are estimates unless expressly guaranteed in a written agreement.
Transportation schedules may be affected by traffic, weather, road closures, mechanical issues, carrier availability, route conditions, regulatory requirements, and other circumstances beyond reasonable control.
Expedited or priority transport may offer faster pickup options when available, but it does not automatically guarantee same-day pickup or a particular delivery time.
We will make reasonable efforts to communicate relevant scheduling updates when information is available.
Customers requesting vehicle transportation are responsible for:
Providing accurate contact, vehicle, pickup, and delivery information.
Disclosing material details about the vehicle’s condition, operability, dimensions, and modifications.
Ensuring the vehicle is accessible and available at the agreed pickup location.
Removing personal belongings and prohibited items from the vehicle, unless expressly permitted in writing.
Providing keys and necessary access or loading instructions.
Ensuring that any person releasing or receiving the vehicle is authorized to do so.
Reviewing vehicle condition reports and relevant transport documents at pickup and delivery.
Paying agreed charges according to the applicable service arrangement.
Additional requirements may apply depending on the carrier, vehicle, route, or transport method.
Customers should inspect their vehicles before pickup and document any existing damage with photographs and the appropriate transport paperwork.
At delivery, customers should inspect the vehicle as soon as reasonably possible and record any visible damage or discrepancies on the applicable delivery documentation before signing, where possible.
Personal belongings left inside a vehicle may be restricted, excluded, or subject to additional charges under carrier policies or applicable law. Customers should confirm the relevant rules before transport.
Responsibility for vehicle damage, loss, or delay depends on the applicable shipping agreement, carrier terms, insurance or cargo coverage, and applicable law. Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to waive rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived.
Cancellation, rescheduling, and refund terms may vary depending on the status of the booking, carrier assignment, payments made, and the applicable service agreement.
Before confirming a booking, customers should review any cancellation fees, deposits, payment obligations, and refund conditions provided in writing.
If you need to change or cancel a transportation request, contact us as soon as possible at (205) 892-5759. We will explain the terms applicable to your specific arrangement.
Payment methods, payment timing, deposits, balances, and any applicable fees will be communicated as part of the relevant quote or service agreement.
Customers agree to pay the amounts they have accepted under the applicable arrangement. Any additional charges should be disclosed and handled in accordance with the agreed terms and applicable law.
Do not send payment information through unsecured communication channels unless the method has been confirmed as appropriate.
