Your own policy
Some personal policies provide secondary coverage. Call your agent to check.
What isn't covered
Personal belongings left in the car, pre-existing damage, and mechanical failure unrelated to transport.
How to verify
Ask for the carrier's certificate of insurance and confirm their USDOT number on the FMCSA website.
