Preparing your vehicle before transport is one of the most important steps in ensuring a smooth and successful delivery process. Taking a few simple precautions can help protect your vehicle and avoid unnecessary delays during pickup and delivery.
Clean Your Vehicle
Washing your vehicle before transport makes it easier to inspect for any existing scratches, dents, or cosmetic damage. A clean vehicle allows both you and the transport driver to accurately document the vehicle’s condition before shipment.
Remove Personal Items
It is recommended to remove personal belongings and valuables from inside the vehicle before transport. Loose items may shift during transportation and could cause damage to the interior of the vehicle.
Check Fluids and Battery
Make sure your vehicle is in good working condition by checking fluid levels, battery charge, and tire pressure. Even though the vehicle is being transported, basic mechanical readiness helps make loading and unloading safer and easier.
Leave a Small Amount of Fuel
Keeping around a quarter tank of fuel is usually ideal for vehicle transport. This provides enough fuel for loading and unloading while avoiding unnecessary extra vehicle weight.
Document Vehicle Condition
Before pickup, take clear photos of your vehicle from multiple angles. This helps document the vehicle’s condition before transportation and provides added peace of mind throughout the process.
