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.
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.
This tip is strictly for your peace of mind as customers will ask us from time-to-time, “How do I know if the driver isn’t going to take my car for a joy ride?” We’ve never had this happen before, but we understand the concern. After all, you are handing the keys of one of your most valuable assets over to a total stranger.
Car trailers are big and can bounce up and down a bit on the road causing any loose items inside your car to move around. Remove any items not secured to the interior of your car – phone holders, car chargers, GPS devices, portable DVD players, or even air fresheners, spare change, pens, etc.
To prevent damage to your vehicle or the accessories themselves, you should remove them if they can be removed. We’re referring to accessories such as bike racks, luggage racks, ski racks, and custom spoilers. If you have an antenna that can be removed, you should remove it and put it in the trunk of the vehicle.
Make sure there’s antifreeze in the radiator and that the battery is fully charged and secure. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. There is the potential for damage to the tires or wheels during transport if they are under-inflated or over-inflated.
Check for any fluid leaks and if possible, have them fixed before the driver picks up your vehicle, especially if it’s a bad leak as the driver may refuse to accept the vehicle. If you only have a minor leak that can’t easily be fixed before shipping, let the driver know! He needs to know so he can place your vehicle on the bottom row of the trailer.
Is your car in good working condition? Check for engine and other mechanical problems, and if you’re able to, have a mechanic tune it up before your car is picked up for transport. If your vehicle is not running, let us know beforehand so we’re able to plan ahead and to make sure we get the proper equipment there to load your vehicle.
Your vehicle only needs enough gas to drive on and off the trailer. The lighter your car is for interstate car transport, the better as it will save quite a bit of weight for the transporter. Please note, while it’s best to have a 1/4 tank of gas or less, you do not need to drain the gas if you have more than that!
The last thing your driver wants to deal with is a vehicle with an alarm going off that he can’t easily get to (or an alarm he doesn’t know how to shut off once he gets to the vehicle).
It doesn’t matter if your vehicle is passing through a toll road because you’re driving or because it’s on a trailer, the toll tag will very likely pick up the fee. Avoid any unnecessary headaches and expenses and deactivate or remove your toll tags.
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. It’s a good idea to have a whole set of keys for you AND the car delivery service company.
