How to Transport Your Convertible Car

Transporting Your Convertible Car

No matter what type of convertible car you have, hauling it with a company means you should know some special requirements. Convertibles are much more fragile than regular cars, which is something to be aware of when deciding to deliver one. This is especially true if you own a soft-top convertible instead of a hard-top one. The reason is that, even if the lid is placed on it, its softer material can get punctured or damaged in some other way.

This is no reason to worry though. If you follow the following guidelines, you'll be more than okay, with it arriving at its final destination without any damage at all.

Don't Move It With the Top Down

You won't be able to do anything about this if it has no lid. However, if it has one, never move it with it down. No matter at what stage of the hauling it's in or the environment, it needs to have its top-up, even if it's in the middle of the summer with no chance of rain occurring. The main reason is that the inside will be extremely susceptible to damage if it encounters the elements, even if it's just from the dust.

Check Out the External Cover Options

If it has a soft top, it is possible to get an external cover for it, which the company may or may not be able to provide you with. The external cover can provide you with an extra layer of protection that the soft one can't, resulting in the chances of it being damaged becoming significantly less.

If Possible, Go With Enclosed Instead of Open Method

This one should be obvious, but, even if it's more expensive, go with the enclosed option, since it's considerably safer. With an enclosed one, your convertible will be protected from all of the damaging elements, including the sun.

If you have no choice but to go with an open one, make sure that the company knows to make sure that it's placed on the ramp of the open truck bed.

Cover the Interior With a Protective Cloth

You really should cover the interior with a protective cloth, as that will also add an extra layer of protection. If it has no top at all, then this is a must.

Keep the Windows Up

This should come across as a no-brainer, but some people forget to make sure to check if the windows are FULLY up or not. This should be done even if the enclosed trailer option is chosen.

A1-AT recommends the enclosed trailer option and is expert at ensuring that it is delivered with the utmost safety precautions taken. Remember to always consult with the firm to ask them what their recommendations are. It's not every day that you see a convertible, so make sure that it's always safe!
