• INOPERABLE VEHICLE
• Loading a car into a truck or any type of service
  needs a perfect car which should at least start
  properly and go into the truck by driving. If the
  condition of a car is disabled and cannot start
  by itself then it will need an extra time as well
  as an adequate car hauling equipment to lift the
  car into the truck. This will cost you more. Same
  goes at the time of delivery you will have to
  arrange a crane or any similar equipment to
  unload your car.
• To prevent paying extra, your vehicle needs to be
  working properly and on its own. If the vehicle
  has mechanical issues then best the solution is

  before booking a transport service for your car.

  distance. You still have to pay the expenses for
  meals and night lodgings of your personal driver.
