Damage Claim - Submission Process
PrixCar is committed to providing our customers with reliable and quality service. While every effort is made to safely transport your vehicle, there are incidents that occur from time to time. PrixCar is not automatically responsible for all incidents as a number of external factors can impact service delivery.
IMPORTANT – Please read the following information prior to completing our claim form. In any claims process, a customer is required to support their loss. Without complete and detailed information, we may be unable to process your claim. Claims should be submitted within 14 days from the date of delivery.
Before submitting a claim please consider the following:
Damage that is not noted on the Vehicle Condition Report (VCR)/Epod at the time of delivery cannot be validated as being present. Damages that occur or can be referred to as occurring outside of the service period do not qualify for a damage claim.
The following points discuss some of the noted exclusions.
Please read our terms and conditions for a complete understanding on limitations and exclusions on liability - Vehicle Services Conditions
Stone chips, unfortunate and as frustrating as they are, are a road hazard caused by loose stones over the road. A range of factors impact road conditions; for example, road maintenance, street sweeping, storms, and debris; none of which Move My Wheels can influence.
When vehicles are transported on an open trailer, stone chips are commonly caused by the stones being flicked up from vehicles passing in the opposite direction.
As environmental conditions and other road users cause these stone chips, and they are not caused by any act of Move My Wheels, Move My Wheels is not liable for these damages
Vehicle wear and tear is considered to be damage or deterioration resulting from normal use and exposure, not a result of impact damage from transportation.
We do conduct an initial walk-around survey to capture all obvious damages or marks that are visible at the time of survey from 1 metre away.
We consider a certain amount of damage to a vehicle to be fair wear and tear as a result of continued use - Fair Wear & Tear Guide
If your damage is relating to a force majeure event (without limitations - fire, hail, storm etc), please note any damage caused by these events should be referred to your own motor vehicle insurance provider.
