Using Vehicle Transport Companies
- Preparation - Before your vehicle is picked up for shipping, there are a few things that you need to do in preparation. The first is to make sure the car is cleaned, both inside and out, and that it is in good running condition. (Some, but not all shippers will move an inoperable vehicle.) Having the vehicle clean helps make sure that nothing bounces around inside during transport, and that the driver can easily assess any existing damages, scratches, or dents on the car. Finally-and this is an important one-the gas tank should only be 1/8 to 1/4 full. It varies from one car shipping company to the other. So make sure you follow the specific guidelines for the one that moves your car. The weight of extra gas in the tank can add up when moving several cars at once and it usually results in an additional fee for the customer.

- Personal Items - Though some auto shippers may allow for a few personal items to be moved inside the vehicle, the general rule is that the vehicle should be empty. Having additional items inside the car when it's being transported over a long distance can cause damage as they shift around. The companies that do allow customers to store personal items (usually in the trunk) may have weight limits or certain items they won't allow. Personal belongings may be included when shipping a car internationally since a different method, containerized transport, makes it easier and safer to move additional items along with the vehicle.
- Insurance - Basic cargo insurance laws apply to the auto shipping industry, which means that the price you pay includes coverage for your vehicle while it's being moved. There are minimum insurance requirements in place that are suitable for 90% of vehicles that are shipped. The exception would be for customers who need a high-end, luxury or exotic car moved-basically any vehicle that has a particularly high value. In these cases, supplemental insurance coverage is available through the auto transport company and is a good investment if you feel like the minimum coverage level is not sufficient to cover potential damage to the vehicle. While accidents are rare, they do happen and it's a good idea to have the proper amount of insurance in place as a precautionary measure.
