Statistics have shown that approximately 1 in 20 vehicles may incur some type of damage during the shipping process. If this damage is for some reason not covered by the carriers insurance or you notice it after delivery and signing of the bill of lading (checklist), you have no recourse but to use your own funds or personal insurance to repair your vehicle and costing you $100's or $1000's in personal costs or deductibles.
Under normal circumstances all carriers are covered by damage and loss for your vehicle and you should not have to pay anything toward damages. But there are exceptions. This includes when vehicle(s) are damaged for purposes of parking, storage or loading/ unloading a truck incidental to the performance of the obligations under the contract terms and conditions of carrier and broker companies, acts of God, when carriers go out of business or fraudulent business practices that would prevent a claim from being settled. If for any of these reasons you have to use your personal vehicle insurance to settle a claim and repair damages, we have you covered by the Total Assurance Plan.
So, it is essential that for total coverage you fill the gap. Purchase our exclusive AFTA plan to have peace of mind that if, for any reason you need to use your own personal insurance to cover damage or loss, we will pay up to $1000 towards your deductible.
The AFTA Plan also covers damages up to $400 in case it is noticed after a vehicle is delivered within 48 hours after signing the bill of lading. No insurance submission is necessary. Only picture images need to be submitted and 2 quotes from authorized body repair shops.
It is required that all customers have personal vehicle insurance. This plan will cover the deductible to a maximum amount of $1000 upon receipt of payment from the customer's insurance company, even if you get your deductible refunded by your insurance company. There is no other plan in the USA currently offering this assurance coverage.
