Preparing your vehicle properly can help ensure a smooth transport process. First, clean your car inside and out so the transporter can easily inspect it for existing damage. Remove any personal items, as they are generally not covered by insurance during transit. Check that your car is in good working condition make sure the battery is charged, tires are properly inflated, and there are no fluid leaks. Keep the gas tank about a quarter full to reduce weight while still allowing the car to be moved safely. Finally, document your vehicle’s condition with photos before pickup to protect yourself in case of any damage during transport.
