How to prepare a car for shipping

• The transporter will not allow you to leave personal items inside the car because of insurance and regulatory The policy does not cover damage caused by such goods when left in the vehicle.
• Take the car for a thorough wash to remove mud and any other residue that may make it hard to get a correct result from the inspection. Make a detailed record of all the chips, dents, discolorations, and scratches on the vehicle.

Many transport companies prefer driving the vehicle on and off the truck when loading and unloading. Keep the car in running shape using the following steps:

• Top off the brake fluid, coolant, engine oil, and transmission fluid.
• Test the battery’s terminals and keep it on a full charge.
• Keep at least 1/4 of gas in the tank. Do not leave too much fuel because it might lead to other complications.
• Make sure that you have enough pressure on the tires.

If your vehicle has additions that change its original dimensions, make it known to the transporter in advance. Remove the custom parts such as spoilers and roof racks. Cover the other loose parts that might run into damage, retract the antenna, and fold in the side-view mirrors. Deactivate the toll tags and parking passes. They can accumulate unnecessary charges as your vehicle travels along the highways. Try to remove them since they form a potential target for theft. Prepare a spare set of keys for the truck driver and disable the alarm system. For vehicles that need special handling, make sure that you leave detailed instructions for the truck driver.
