Fits

Customers who want nothing charged until the car is actually picked up, and a price that's locked at booking.

Not ideal for

Anyone who needs a pickup on an exact day — the company works with a 1 to 5 day pickup window.

Worth knowing

• Non-running cars carry a $200 inoperable fee under the terms.
• The carrier usually asks for three repair estimates and pays one of them, according to the website.

Ask before booking

The deposit amount and which payment methods your carrier will take at delivery.
