Antique Car International Shipping By A-1 Auto Transport

Whenever you need to ship off an antique car internationally, you must hire professionals with experience in the hauling of such valuable vehicles. Moving a car takes careful attention to detail and the proper transport equipment. This is only available to you through a reliable shipping company such as A1 AT.

When you ship an antique vehicle overseas, it must meet the stipulations of the other nation. Export and import laws must always be abided by. Of course, for an inexperienced individual, this would be difficult, but when you hire specialists in the auto industry with a history in international car delivery, you’ll be able to rest assured you’re in good hands.

The Best Method for Hauling

Perhaps the safest way to ship your car is through the enclosed shipping method. This method protects the car during its travels from the likelihood of poor weather and road conditions which could easily damage its exterior. When you choose an enclosed service, the antique car is placed within a large container where it is secured. The metal walls of the container won’t let anything reach the vehicle during its process to another country.

Prepare the Vehicle to Keep It Safer…

• The vehicle must be washed clean of all dirt and debris. The inside must also be cleaned and left empty except for floor mats, a spare tire, and a car jack.
• Remove any items that weren’t originally a part of the antique when it was manufactured. If you do not wish to remove such items, consult with the transporter. They will usually offer services for customized vehicles at a slightly higher moving rate.
• Disable the alarm system if applicable and remove the battery.
• Check all fluids and top them off. The fuel tank should be the only liquid that reads less than ¼ full.
• Add air to the tires.
• Document all damages already existing on the vehicle. Take pictures of the exterior and interior to use as reference after the process has concluded.
