How do I ship my car?

Choosing the Right Shipping Method

The first step in shipping your car is to decide on the method of transportation that best suits your needs, budget, and timeline.

Open vs. Enclosed Transport

Open Transport: This is the most common and cost-effective method. Vehicles are transported on an open trailer, exposing them to the elements but effectively reducing costs.

Enclosed Transport: Provides the highest level of protection from weather and road debris, ideal for luxury, antique, or special vehicles.

Preparing Your Vehicle for Transport

Proper preparation can prevent delays and ensure your vehicle arrives in good condition.

Maintenance and Inspection

Check for Leaks: Any significant leaks should be repaired before transportation to prevent damage to other vehicles.

Battery and Tires: Ensure the battery is fully charged and the tires are properly inflated.

Wash Your Vehicle: A clean car makes it easier to identify any scratches or damage that might occur during transport.

Remove Personal Items

– It’s important to remove all personal belongings from your vehicle as they are not covered by the transporter’s insurance.

Disable the Alarm

– To avoid potential issues during transit, make sure to disable any alarm systems.
