How it works
Service & contract model
Listed type: Vehicle-shipping broker
Model: Broker: Montway LLC accepts an order and arranges transportation through third-party carriers.
Who performs the work:
Montway describes itself as a transportation broker, not a carrier. It provides estimates, accepts bookings and arranges third-party carriers; it says it does not take possession of or transport shipments. The assigned carrier handles pickup, transportation and delivery. The terms instruct customers to inspect the vehicle and document damage on the bill of lading. Carrier-specific terms may also apply.
Planning fit
Availability & scope
United States — shipping to or from any state
Montway's service menu lists shipping from or to any state, with Hawaii transport listed separately. Confirm the specific origin, destination, vehicle and carrier availability before booking. Door-to-door pickup or delivery may require a nearby agreed meeting point where access is restricted.
Confirm the actual locations, dates and requested service; a broad label does not guarantee availability.

Compare the actual agreement, not just the headline price.
Terms & practical checks
The terms allow cancellation without a fee before carrier acceptance. After acceptance, they specify a minimum $249 cancellation fee and possible additional carrier or vendor charges; cancellation must be emailed to info@montway.com. The True Price section says the $249 broker fee after dispatch can be applied to a future order. For cargo loss or damage, customers must file claims directly with the carrier and promptly report the claim to Montway, no later than 48 hours after delivery. The terms instruct customers to inspect the vehicle and document damage on the bill of lading. If the customer refuses to pay or accept delivery, storage and redelivery charges may be the customer's responsibility. The contract also contains an arbitration provision with stated exceptions. For guaranteed-pickup expedited service, Montway says a local driver may retrieve the vehicle and store it in a secured facility for an average of two to three calendar days until a long-haul driver is available; the quoted transit time begins then.
Ask who contracts for the service and who actually performs the work. Confirm the inventory, dates, route, access and services in writing.
Compare estimate type, included charges, deposits, change fees and cancellation terms. Ask how loss or damage claims are handled.
If storage is involved, confirm its location, access, duration, charges, redelivery and protection terms.
Protection & claims
Montway states that the carrier's cargo insurance covers the vehicle and that Montway has contingent cargo insurance of up to $250,000 if the trucker's policy fails to fully cover a valid claim. This is the provider's description, not a blanket assurance of payment. Policy exclusions, deductibles, route-specific limits and an individual carrier's current coverage were not independently verified; request the applicable insurance documents before booking.
If your move includes an interstate household-goods carrier, ask about its valuation options. Carrier valuation describes the carrier’s liability for loss or damage; it is not insurance. Separate insurance is a different product with its own terms and exclusions.
