  “The Initial Payment must be paid by credit/debit card.” — boldautotransport.com/terms-and-conditions

• Deposit. A card goes on file with a $1 check, and the initial payment is charged when it becomes due. We couldn't find the amount.

• Cancellation. $25 before a carrier is dispatched; after dispatch the fee equals your initial payment; no changes once the car is picked up.

  “If you cancel your order before a Carrier has been dispatched to transport your Vehicle, you will be charged a dispatch fee of $25.” — boldautotransport.com/terms-and-conditions

• Damage claims. Photograph the car at both ends, note changes before signing and follow the carrier's written claim rules. We couldn't find a deadline.

Fits

Customers who want plain-language guidance — the website explains quotes, pickup windows and claims without promising exact dates.

Not ideal for

Anyone whose plans may change after dispatch — cancelling then costs the full initial payment.

Worth knowing

• Cancelling even before a carrier is dispatched costs $25.
• Bold's liability under its terms is capped at the fees it keeps, not the value of your car.

Ask before booking

The initial payment amount and when it becomes due.
