 Preparing Your Vehicle
Preparing Your Vehicle Before You Move
Now that you have decided to ship
your car it’s time to prepare it for the transport.
Every transport company requires you do some
preparation before shipping your car. Inquire
with your customer service representative what
there requirements are. We
have done some research to better help you to
be prepared. Below you will find a basic auto
transport process:
- The auto transport company will
do an inspection prior to shipment. You must
be present for the inspection and will be required
to sign the bill of lading and a vehicle condition
report, both at the point of origin and the
destination.
- The vehicle needs to be clean.
You do not need to pay hundreds of dollars
to have your vehicle detailed however it does
need to be clean enough so that the physical
inspection can be conducted thoroughly on the
day of shipping.
- You should have the vehicle serviced
prior to shipping. Make sure the vehicle is
free from any fluid leaks.
- Ensure you have a complete set
of keys available to hand over on shipping
day.
- It is illegal to ship your car
with personal belongings inside so be sure
everything is removed from the vehicle prior
to shipping. The shipping company may also
refuse to accept your vehicle if there are
any personal items left inside. If there is
any loss or damage to these items or your vehicle
as a result of these items being in the vehicle,
the shipper is not liable.
- Again it is illegal to transport
hazardous materials in your car. Remove all
hazardous materials before your pickup date.
- Remember to prepare your vehicle
for any climate changes. Example: have your
heating or cooling systems checked and add
and coolants or fluids necessary.
- Remove any EZ-Passes from your
car.
- Disconnect any alarm systems you
might have in the car. Alarms can continue
to activate during transit causing the car
to arrive at its destination with dead batteries.
