About San Jose

  • Unicorn Traffic Problems: The tech boom brought unicorn startups-and enough traffic to make your morning commute feel like you're starring in your own personal slow-motion disaster movie.
  • High-Tech Traffic Lights: San Jose experimented with "smart" traffic lights that are supposed to reduce traffic jams. Let's just say the lights are smart, but the drivers? That's debatable!
  • Tech Capital, Not Great Wi-Fi: Despite being the heart of Silicon Valley, San Jose's public Wi-Fi isn't exactly what you'd expect from the tech capital of the world.
  • First High-Rise Debate: Residents have argued over building tall skyscrapers for years, fearing they might block the view of planes landing at the airport - or the mountains in the distance. Priorities!
  • It's Always "Chill": San Jose has an average of 300 sunny days a year, but locals still complain when it drops below 60℉-it's their version of "freezing."
  • World's Largest Monopoly Board: San Jose has a massive, playable Monopoly board in Guadalupe River Park. You can actually rent oversized dice and hats to play the game. No pressure if you land on Boardwalk!
  • It's the Biggest Small City: San Jose is the 10th-largest city in the U.S., but somehow still feels like a collection of neighborhoods with small-town vibes.
  • Garlic Rules Nearby: Just down the road in Gilroy, the "Garlic Capital of the World", San Jose residents can smell the Garlic Festival from miles away. It's their version of aromatherapy!

San Jose is a quirky, sunny, tech-filled city that embraces its unique charm and eccentricities. If you're in town, there's always something to laugh about!

Insurance at a glance

Auto transport carriers are typically have cargo insurance $250,000+ per incident. If multiple vehicles are damaged in a single incident, this coverage is shared among all affected vehicles (a full truck can carry up to 9 cars).

COI (Certificate of Insurance) will be available on web site when truck is assigned - look for cargo coverage on the policy. Coverage order:
1. Carrier's cargo insurance - Primary coverage during transport
2. Your auto insurance - Secondary coverage if you have Comprehensive or Collision

Does my insurance cover my car during transport?
Check your auto policy for Comprehensive and Collision coverage. Many policies DO cover vehicles during professional transport, but some exclude it. If your policy covers it and you file a claim, your insurance company can pursue the carrier's insurance through subrogation (they pay you first, then recover costs from the carrier).

Important: Contact your insurance agent to verify whether your policy covers vehicles during commercial transport before shipping.

99% of the time you sign contract with broker company, then broker company hires carrier - transportation company with trucks.
Auto transport broker has bond of $75,000 that is for broker's wrongdoing only, it does not cover your car from damage in transit.
