Prepping to Ship Your Car

Preparing your car properly for the auto transport is a key component for a stress free car shipping experience. Start by filling your tank up a quarter of the way. This will give your car enough gas to get it on and off the vehicle transporter. Don’t fill your car up with more gas then this as you will be giving your car extra weight which may cause you to incur extra charges. Also, if god forbid there is an accident having a full tank of gas can be extremely dangerous. Next remove all valuables from the car, such as your GPS and EZ pass. Insurance does not cover for items left in your vehicle. It only covers for the vehicle itself and any damage that occurs along the way. Next take your car for a good car wash. Then take picture of the exterior of your car. You want to document just how your vehicle looked prior to having it shipped. This way when your vehicle is dropped off you will have what to compare it to. Taking these necessary steps to prepare your vehicle for the auto transport will insure that the whole process will be smooth from beginning to end.
