• Deposit. Charged to your card only after a carrier is assigned. We couldn't find the amount.

  “We take a credit card deposit only AFTER your vehicle is assigned to a carrier — $0 upfront.” — lepkeautotrans.com

• Cancellation. The website explains how cancellations typically work in the industry, but we couldn't find Lepke's own policy.

• Damage claims. The website's guide says to note new damage on the bill of lading and claim against the carrier's cargo insurance. We couldn't find a deadline.

  “Never sign a clean Bill of Lading if damage exists.” — lepkeautotrans.com/questions-to-ask-auto-transport

Fits

Customers who want nothing charged until a carrier is assigned and a choice of paying the driver by Zelle or Venmo.

Not ideal for

Owners of cars worth more than $50,000 who want open transport — the company says open carriers it uses carry $50k minimum per vehicle.

Worth knowing

• The company recommends enclosed transport for cars valued over $50k, where it says coverage goes up to $150k.

Ask before booking

Lepke's own cancellation fee once a carrier is assigned, and the deposit amount.
