TERMS AND CONDITIONS


Orders placed with Chariot Auto Transport are under the following terms and conditions. This document must be read and agreed to prior to scheduling your vehicle. We appreciate the opportunity of doing business with you, and look forward to serving you again.


1) Paying for your order: The deposit for standard and enclosed auto shipping orders may be paid by check, credit card, mailed money order, and cashiers check. Credit Card and Check by fax payment forms are at the bottom of this page. Please fill in your payment option and fax along with the signed Terms and Conditions. The Deposit amount is $175.00 plus $5 handling fee, unless transporting more than one vehicle. The remaining balance will be paid to the carrier when carrier delivers your vehicle unless otherwise stated. CARRIERS ONLY ACCEPT: cash, money orders, and cashiers checks. You will be given a receipt. By signing below you agree that you will pay the carrier in the form of cash, money order or cashiers check only. Chariot is not responsible for payment to the carrier. The amount owed to the carrier must be paid by the customer to the carrier. Chariot Auto Transport will not handle monies owed to the carrier. Thank you much for your cooperation.


2) Money Back Guarantee: All dates that are given are an approximation. There are many causes that can affect dates (ie. weather, traffic delays, road conditions, etc.) What we can give you is an approximate time frame once your vehicle is picked up. The carrier should call you 8-12 hours before picking up the vehicle. Chariot Auto Transport will assign a carrier to transport your vehicle within 14 days of the first available pick-up date (provided we are given an order 14 days prior to the first available pick up date), and in most cases within a few days. In the event that we are not able to get your vehicle assigned in 14 days you have the option of keeping your order open or canceling for the full refund of your deposit.


3) The carrier assigned to your vehicle should call 8 to 12 hours before they are able to pick-up your vehicle. They will arrange for the exact pick-up and delivery location at this time. In addition, the carrier and the person responsible for the vehicle will complete a thorough inspection of the vehicle. The carrier will have an inspection sheet they will have you sign. Chariot and the carrier are not liable for any damages not noted on the delivery receipt. The receipt is considered final upon signature by federal law. If the vehicle and person responsible is not present at the time the vehicle was scheduled for pick-up, the deposit will not be refunded. In addition, if the person responsible is not present for the delivery of the vehicle, the vehicle will be stored at the owner's expense until the owner can pick it up from storage.


4) There are times when the carrier will not be able to drive into certain destinations (door to door) and will arrange with you to meet at a gas station, grocery store, etc.


5) Insurance: The carrier is fully insured, and is responsible for the vehicle while in the carrier's possession. Chariot Auto Transport and its agents will not be responsible for acts of God (flooding, hail, sand storm, earthquakes, tornadoes, fire). Shippers should maintain their own insurance for these reasons. If there were to be unfortunate damage to your vehicle (not including items listed above and in the liability disclaimer) we have your carrier's insurance information on file and will help you with the claim process. We do a license, insurance, and bond check on all of our carriers. The shipper is responsible for completing the Pre-Transport Checklist before transport in order to avoid any possible problems with the vehicle.


6) If damage should occur, all moneys owed to the carrier must be paid to initiate the claim. Damage must be noted on the Bill of Lading, and signed by the driver and shipper, regardless of weather, or time of day. Signing the Bill of Lading without any notation of damage verifies that shipper or its agent has received the vehicle in good condition, and that Chariot Auto Transport and its agents are relieved of any further responsibility. Please check your vehicle thoroughly.


7) Any claim or controversy arising from or relating to this agreement, or the performance or breach thereof, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of Pima County, Tucson, Arizona. Shipper specifically waives any right to have this matter resolved in any other county or location. Chariot Auto Transport can only be liable for up to the amount of the deposit amount already paid to Chariot Auto Transport. Chariot Auto Transport will support you in this effort should such a problem occur, but in no way will Chariot Auto Transport accept responsibility for any negligence of the assigned carrier. Chariot Auto Transport will provide carriers insurance and carrier information should any controversy arise.


8) Non-operable vehicles: A $150.00 INOP fee is applied to all vehicles not in operating condition. This fee is included when your quote is given provided we had this information. If the vehicle is not operable at the time of pick-up and was not included in the quote, additional fees may apply. Additionally, if your vehicle becomes inoperable during transport, $150 will be due at the time of delivery in addition to the amount quoted. It is shipper's responsibility to make sure vehicle is in the proper working order.


9) If the vehicle being picked up does not match the vehicle of which the quote/booking listed, additional fees may apply.


10) Please make sure your vehicle has less than half a tank of gas. This helps lessen the weight for the carrier. All personal goods must be removed from the vehicle. Please refer to our Pre-transport checklist on our home page. Chariot Auto Transport and its agents will not knowingly transport household goods in the vehicle. Federal regulations prohibit Chariot Auto Transport from doing so. If such items are shipped unbeknown to Chariot or its agents, such items become the sole responsibility of the shipper. Should damage or fines be levied, fines or damage are shipper's responsibility.


11) Cancellations: All cancellations must be in writing. If a driver has not been assigned to transport your vehicle and you would like to cancel the order there will be a $50 cancellation fee. Once a carrier has been assigned for pick-up and transport of the vehicle no deposit will be refunded.


12) Chariot Auto Transport is an agent or broker representing you the customer. We arrange for the transportation of your vehicle by assigning a carrier to physically transport your vehicle. Chariot Auto Transport is not responsible for vehicle rental fees of any kind. Chariot Auto Transport reserves the right to cancel your contract at any time.
