Prepare Your Car for Safe Shipping | Budget Auto Transporter

If you've scheduled your shipment with an auto transport company, it's important to prepare your vehicle for the road ahead. Make sure your car is cleaned and ready for transport to avoid any unforeseen damage.

Clean the exterior of your car. A clean car makes it easier for the driver to identify any existing scratches, dents, or other damage.
Perform a detailed inspection of the exterior of your car when the carrier picks it up. Take photographs and notes of any present marks, so you can spot any damage incurred during shipment.
Remove any valuables you normally keep in your car. Most auto transport companies don’t perform an interior inspection and aren’t liable for loss or damage that occurs inside the vehicle.
Check that your car is in good working condition. No fluids should be leaking, and if there are any leaks or mechanical issues, take your car in to get fixed if you have the time. If not, be sure to inform the car transporter of these problems. Your car should be in proper driving condition, as mechanical problems may cause delays in transport and could lead to costly vehicle damage.
Run your fuel tank down to a quarter full. Electric vehicles should have a fully charged battery.
Once the car is delivered to its destination, perform another inspection with the driver. Be sure to check the exterior before signing the inspection report, which gives the driver permission to release the car to you.
