How to prepare a car for shipping

Once you know the available pickup date, wash the vehicle in preparation for the inspection. Look for the pre-existing cosmetic damage and note down everything, which includes all the chips, dents, and scratches. You can use a camera to take dated photographs of the car from all angles.

Keeping household goods inside the vehicle may lead to stiff penalties or confiscation by the DOT. Any shifts by items kept inside the car may damage the interior. Try to remove all personal effects, valuables, important documents, and custom accessories like CD and DVD players, speakers, and GPS.

The transporter may need a new set of equipment to move an inoperable vehicle.  Make sure that you let them know in advance so that they can prepare for the process. The following steps can serve as your standard maintenance checklist when shipping cars to or from Blountstown.

• Top off the fluid levels and inflate the tires
• Keep the battery on a full charge
• Document all the mechanical problems and special steps needed to handle the vehicle

Do not fuel up for the trip to avoid overloading the truck. Leave about 1/4 of gas in the tank, which will help the transporter to start and drive the vehicle when loading and unloading.

Detach any loose parts on the exterior including custom items like spoilers, grills, roof racks, and ground effects. Retract the antenna and fold in the said-view mirrors. If you have a convertible, fasten the soft-top to shield the interior parts from the elements.

Disable the alarm system to keep it from interrupting the shipping process or draining the battery. Since you vehicle travels as cargo, deactivate the toll tags to keep them from accumulating unnecessary fees along the highway.

Record the current mileage on the vehicle and prepare a set of spare keys that you will hand over to the driver at the collection.
