Your vehicle’s condition before it is released for shipping makes the process a seamless one. Here are a few preparation tips we recommend;
We know you wouldn’t want your car treated carelessly during the shipping process, so why before?
Wash your car with diligent care, inside and out. It allows you to quickly spot if there’s a scratch on your car, post-delivery because you had a mental picture of it while cleaning.
Also, you won’t need to make visits to the car wash because you have a clean car at your new home.
Be careful not to leave personal items behind in your car, at least not something you would find painful if it were to go missing. Items left “inside” the car are not insured against damage or theft.
Most transport companies even frown at leaving personal belongings behind because they could be fined for shipping a car with valuable items in it. So, it’s in everyone’s interest that you rid your car of personal/valuable items before shipping.
It’s tempting to think about rescheduling your vehicle’s routine maintenance for post-delivery but that wouldn’t be an ideal thing to do. Check for leaks, wears/tears, tire pressure, battery charge, and other likely mechanical Issues. Repair or replace where necessary.
This would save you the embarrassment and distress that accompanies a malfunctioning vehicle after delivery.
An incomplete or missing vehicle document could cause delays during the verification and to avoid this, you must prepare the needed paperwork earlier;
- Proof of Insurance
- Original Vehicle Title
- Drivers License/Passport
- Vehicle Registration Information
- Bill of Sale
Since your car would be transported on a carrier and not driven, you do not need to fill up your tank before shipping.
A full tank is an extra weight on your car and would increase shipping costs. We recommend leaving a quarter-filled gas tank before shipping, this would be enough in case you need to pick it up and drive off from the terminal yourself.
