How to prepare a car for shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transportation helps to cut down many risks that come with moving it. You will have a stress-free shipping experience by running the car through the following steps:

• Check the trunk, glove box, or other compartments and remove all personal items and valuables from the vehicle. You may leave the spare tire and emergency tools as long as you have them secured.
• Keep the fuel tank at about 1/4 full. Levels beyond that might spill off during transportation, creating an unsafe environment.
• Leave it in good, driving shape by making sure that it has working brakes, well-inflated tires, a fully charged battery, and enough fluid levels. Write a list of the unattended issues and any special operating instructions.
• The car should not have off-factory fixtures like fog lights, luggage racks, bike racks, and antennas. If you have any fixtures that you cannot remove, let the transporter know in advance.
• Before moving your vehicle, our representative will run it through an inspection process and prepare a report. Give the car a thorough cleaning so that you can have a correct outcome.
