Last Updated: October 30, 2026
Welcome to Santa Monica Auto Steady Shipper. These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of our website, santamonicaautosteadyshipper.us, and the vehicle transportation services offered or arranged through our business.
By accessing this website, submitting an inquiry, requesting a quote, or booking a service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these terms. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website.

-
Open Car Transport
-
Enclosed Car Transport
-
Door-to-Door Auto Transport
-
State-to-State Auto Transport
The availability of these services depends on the vehicle, route, schedule, carrier availability, and other applicable conditions. The specific responsibilities of Santa Monica Auto Steady Shipper and any transportation provider will be established by the applicable booking documents or written agreement.
2. Quotes and Pricing
Quotes may be based on the information provided by the customer, including vehicle details, pickup and delivery locations, vehicle condition, transport method, and requested dates.
Prices and availability may change before a booking is confirmed. Any changes to an accepted quote must be handled according to the applicable agreement and law.
Customers should review the quote carefully and ask questions about deposits, payment schedules, additional charges, cancellation fees, and other applicable costs before confirming a shipment.
3. Booking and Customer Responsibilities
Customers must provide accurate and complete information when requesting or confirming transportation services.
You are responsible for:
-
Providing correct vehicle and contact information.
-
Disclosing whether the vehicle is operable.
-
Reporting vehicle modifications, leaks, and special loading requirements.
-
Ensuring that the vehicle is available at the agreed pickup location.
-
Providing keys and necessary access as requested.
-
Removing personal belongings unless otherwise agreed in writing.
-
Following reasonable instructions provided by the transportation provider.
Incorrect or incomplete information may affect pricing, scheduling, carrier selection, or the ability to complete the shipment.
4. Pickup and Delivery Estimates
Pickup and delivery dates or windows are estimates unless a written agreement expressly guarantees a specific time.
Schedules may be affected by weather, traffic, road closures, mechanical issues, carrier availability, route changes, government restrictions, and other circumstances beyond reasonable control.
We will communicate material updates when information becomes available to us. Customers should ensure their contact details remain current throughout the shipment.
5. Vehicle Condition and Inspection
Customers should inspect their vehicle before transportation and retain photographs showing its condition.
The customer or authorized representative should review and complete the applicable vehicle inspection report at pickup and delivery. Any apparent damage or discrepancy should be documented promptly and reported according to the carrier’s procedures and applicable agreement.
Pre-existing damage, mechanical problems, modifications, and other vehicle conditions should be disclosed before transportation.
6. Insurance and Liability
Insurance coverage, exclusions, deductibles, and liability depend on the transportation provider, the applicable policy, the nature of the shipment, and governing law.
Customers should request and review relevant insurance information before booking. A quote or general website description does not itself guarantee coverage for every type of loss.
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to exclude or limit any liability or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
7. Cancellations and Changes
Cancellation requests, rescheduling, route changes, and changes to vehicle details are subject to the terms of the confirmed booking.
Fees or other consequences may apply if transportation has already been assigned, dispatched, or commenced, where permitted by the agreement and applicable law. Contact us as soon as possible if you need to change your shipment.
