It depends on what day your limo is scheduled for pickup and delivery. If the carrier cannot pickup/deliver your limo(s) due to scheduling conflicts, inaccessible areas or both. All terminals used are secured, licensed, and fully insured. If the Alpine shipping company must drop your limo off at a terminal, you will be contacted before hand.
What should the customer do if the limo is damaged?
Make sure that you let the driver know that the damage is new and was not on original bill of lading. All damages should be marked and noted clearly. The driver should sign off on them. The next step is to contact the shippers company about your limo and let them know as soon as possible. Some shippers companies have a day limit, so make sure you do it right away.

If unable to be there, please contact the limo auto transport company prior to the pick up date to confirm an alternate designated person. If you schedule a day for pick up and don’t show up, your limo could be turned over to a towing company.

What is the difference between open and enclosed limo auto shipping?
Open Carrier
This is limo auto shipping that does not protect your limo from the elements. Your limo is exposed to the weather, but the auto transport companies can fit more limos on their truck and this lowers the cost of shipping. Damages from the elements are rare, but can occur. Most people are willing to take the small risk to save a considerable amount of money.
Enclosed Carrier
This is limo auto shipping that protects your limo from the elements. Going enclosed can protect your limo from weather, rocks and theft. In most cases enclosed auto transport will cost double of what it would cost to ship on an open carrier. These companies have more experience with high-end limos. Enclosed shippers companies tend to give more personable service for each limo they ship.
