So you are going to transport your car to a new place and you have managed to hire a professional auto transport company. You must have selected the auto transport methods like enclosed or open trailer based on your needs. Now it is important to keep certain thing in mind for ensuring hassle free car shipping. Prepping your car for transport and analyzing the vehicle during delivery is the two important sections that you need to care for.
Prepping your car
Firstly, wash your car properly even if it is going to be shipped in an open trailer. This would help you to notice any scratches, chips or other damages clearly. Remove all your personal belongings from the car. The auto transport companies do not entertain any types of personal things being kept in the car. They are not legally permitted to transport such items. Moreover, such possessions would not be covered under insurance too. Make sure to disable the car alarm. The car shipping company would not like to waste their time disabling your car alarm. So better shut off the alarm. Do not fill the gas tank completely. Keep it only up to 1/4 so as to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle.
Your car may have specialty items or loose parts like ground effects, spoilers, fog lights etc. remember to fold back your wide mirrors and lower the antennae. During car shipping, it is better to transport convertibles with the top and secured properly. You must make sure that the battery is fully charged and the tires are properly inflated. Inform the driver if there are any leaks so that the car won’t be kept in the top deck of open trailer. Make a list of all operational problems if any and hand over to the driver.
Pick up instructions
Be on time while handing over the car to the car shipping company. The driver should give you an original inspection report before taking the car from you. Report should have information on pickup and delivery details, car’s current mileage and most importantly, the condition of your automobile during the shipping including existing scratches and damages. It is important to keep this report and the person going for car delivery should essentially carry this inspection report.
During car delivery
While waiting for the delivery make sure that you are on time and has given instructions about the place and time. If you are delayed, then you are not only delaying your delivery but other car delivery too. As the car is delivered, remember to do a methodical inspection keeping the inspection report in hand. Look for any damages that are new and has happened during the transport. Look underneath the vehicle as well. If there is any such damage, make sure that the driver signs the document. Never take in the delivery at night unless you have proper lights to view it clearly. If any damages are seen, contact the car shipping company and ask them for the insurance coverage. Most of the companies would deal your complaints effectively and reimburse for your damages.
