- The company must have a physical address, a landline contact telephone number and the possibility of documenting its corporate name. Furthermore, if you must move while the current alarm lasts, do not hesitate to contact the company by phone to ensure that the intended service can be provided.

Before deciding to contract with one company or another, this will allow you to verify whether the transport company has the current authorizations and licenses.
