Staying Safe from Fraudulent Transporters

The logistics industry in India has many reliable players, but it also attracts scammers who offer low prices only to hold your car hostage for more money or disappear altogether. Here's how to spot the red flags.

1. The 'Low-Ball' Quote

If a quote is significantly lower than the market average, be suspicious. This is a classic tactic to lure customers before adding 'unforeseen' charges later.

2. Lack of Physical Office

A legitimate company should have a physical office address and a registered GST number. Don't trust companies that only exist on a WhatsApp number or a generic website.

3. No Written Contract

Never hand over your keys without a signed Bill of Lading and a detailed contract. Everything—price, timeline, insurance—must be in writing.
