TRANSPORT TIPS
Your car is a valuable asset so we understand that shipping it may be stressful to say the least. If you’ve chosen to work with us, however, you’re already ahead of the game as we strive to make the process easy and stress-free. We accomplish that by providing great customer service and constant communication.
​
While we do most of the heavy lifting to get your vehicle transported to its destination safe and sound without hassle, the one thing we can’t do is prepare your car for transport. Here are a few quick tips to get your vehicle ready for transport.
Wash Your Vehicle
The first thing you’ll want to do is wash the exterior of your vehicle. When the driver arrives to pick up your vehicle, he’ll do a vehicle condition report with you. This report documents the current condition of the vehicle including any existing damage there might be to the vehicle.
​
If your vehicle is clean, it will be easier for you and the driver to do the condition report as you’ll be able to clearly see any existing scratches, dings, dents, paint chips, or other damage to the vehicle.
Have Keys Ready
It’s kind of hard for the driver to get your vehicle on and off the trailer without a set of keys. If you have an older model vehicle, this may mean in addition to the ignition key, a door lock key and perhaps a glove compartment key will be needed.
Take Pictures of Your Vehicle
After the car is nice and clean, it’s a perfect time to take pictures. Make sure the photos are good quality and are dated! And don’t just take pictures of damaged areas. Take general photos of the vehicle at different angles. You can never have too many photos for your own records to protect you in the rare event damage occurs during transport.
Have Insurance on Your Vehicle
If your car is already insured, then you’re ready to ship your vehicle! We highly recommend that you have insurance in place at the time your vehicle is being transported.
Your vehicle will be covered if there is any damage caused by the transporter. We are an open carry transport company, we are not responsible for any damage caused by the weather or road conditions (dust, debris, dings etc.)
