Using Vehicle Conveyance Services

Tips for shipping a car in Schenectady:

• Research Companies—Use online resources, like the FMCSA site, to find important information about moving companies and their service and complaint histories. You can also find car shippers using a motor carrier license number or a U.S. Department of Transportation number.
• Service & Clean Your Vehicle - Though the auto shipper will do the hard work for you, there’s still some work to be done in preparation. Having your car serviced is a good idea to ensure that fluid levels and tire pressure are where they need to be. It would be best to treat motor carriers the way you would a long-distance driver in terms of preparation. Not only will this make it easier if your vehicle needs to be shuffled on the airline, but it will also ensure your car is ready to be driven when it arrives.
• Don’t Fill the Gas Tank—Though it varies slightly by company, most car shippers will ask that you run the gas tank down to no more than 1/4 tank (some ask for 1/8 of a tank). This lowers the carrier's overall weight and saves money that the company will pass on to its customers. You may be charged an additional fee if you have more than 1/4 tank of gas in the car when it is picked up.
