Before our carriers pick up your vehicle, we’ll need a few things in place to ensure a smooth handoff:

• Provide all necessary keys, including those for the gas cap and trunk

• Let us know about any aftermarket modifications

• Keep your gas tank between ¼ and ½ full

• Make sure the tires are properly inflated

• Confirm that the driver’s door and window are fully operational

• Ensure the brakes are in good condition

• Charge the battery

• Check that there are no fluid leaks”

Before pickup, make sure to minimize and safely store any personal items. You’re allowed up to 100 lbs of belongings, which must be kept in the trunk or below the window line. That said, we strongly recommend removing anything valuable for your peace of mind.

For shipments that involve ocean transport, your vehicle must be completely free of personal belongings to comply with regulations.

Before shipping, it’s a good idea to remove or disable any accessories that might be at risk during loading or transit. This includes turning off alarm systems, taking off fixed antennas, removing dash-mounted or interior aftermarket add-ons, and detaching luggage, bike, or ski racks.

Be sure to remove personal items like your garage door opener, music accessories, and especially your toll transponder (such as EZ Pass) before shipping.
