How to Prepare Your Car for Shipping

A practical pre-pickup checklist.

Clean it

A clean car makes the inspection accurate so existing scratches and dents are documented.

Photograph everything

Take dated photos of all sides, the roof, wheels, and odometer.

Remove personal items

Carriers are not licensed to carry household goods and their insurance doesn't cover them.

Leave a quarter tank

Enough to load and unload, while keeping weight down.

Disable alarms and fold mirrors

Give the driver instructions for any alarm or quirks. Remove toll tags like FasTrak.
