Preparing your vehicle for shipment
Most auto transport companies will require that you do some preparation in advance to the vehicle being picked up for shipping. Through surveying auto shipping industry leaders we have come up with the following general guide on what to do to prepare your vehicle for shipping:
- An inspection will be performed prior to shipment. You or a designate must be present for the inspection and will be required to sign a vehicle condition report; At the point of origin, the destination and upon return to the point of origin. It is in your best interest that you be at this inspection yourself.
- The vehicle needs to be clean. You do not need to pay hundreds of dollars to have your vehicle detailed, though it can't hurt, : however it does need to be clean enough so that the physical inspection can be conducted thoroughly on the day of shipping.
- The vehicle should be free from any fluid leaks.
- Ensure you have a complete set of keys available to hand over on shipping day.
- All personal belongings need to be removed from the vehicle prior to shipping. It is against the law for any vehicle carrier to accept a vehicle with personal items inside. If you insist on keeping personal items in the vehicle keep them out of sight and in a secure location in the car so they do not shift about in transit.
