Vehicle Shipping Tips

1. Give Your Vehicle a Quick Checkup

There are a few things our professional carriers need from you before they take possession of your vehicle:

• Gather keys to vehicle, including for gas cap and trunk if required
• Inform us of any aftermarket modifications
• Gas tank ¼ to ½ full
• Good tire pressure
• Working driver’s door and window
• Working brakes
• Charged battery
• No leaks

2. Limit and Stow Your Personal Belongings

Before pickup, limit and stow your personal belongings. Your shipment includes up to 100 lbs of personal items stored in the trunk area or below the window line. However, we recommend that you remove anything valuable from the vehicle!

If your shipment includes ocean transport, your vehicle must be completely emptied of personal belongings.

3. Remove Accessories and Aftermarket Parts

It’s worth taking time to remove or disconnect any exterior or interior accessories that could be damaged during loading or transit:

• Turn off all alarm systems
• Remove non-retractable antennae
• Remove dash-mounted and interior aftermarket accessories
• Take down luggage, ski and bike racks

4. Remove Toll Responders

Don’t forget to grab your garage door opener, music collection and other personal items. Yes, even your toll transponder (e.g., EZ Pass).
