Moving with car
  If you need to move to your new location with a car or truck, follow the next check list which will show you useful information about how to prepare and protect your vehicle.
clean the car: Please present the vehicle to your auto transporter in clean condition. This allows for quick and fair evaluation of the vehicle's condition prior to shipment.
check the tank: The fuel level should be about 1/4 of a tank.
remove personal items: Auto transports are weight sensitive, so there should be a minimum of personal belongings in the vehicle being transported. Valuable items, especially, should be removed.
lower antennas: This includes temporary antennas such as those for cell phones or CB radios.
provide all keys: The US Department of Transportation requires that all keys be provided for the vehicle, including ignition, trunk, glove box, and/or other keys.
turn off alarm: If there are special instructions to start the car or disarm the alarm, please let your auto transporter know.
remove Racks: Non-permanent luggage, bike or ski racks should be removed.
inspect the glass: Point out any window nicks, scratches, chips or cracks to your auto transporter.
prepare for the climate: If the weather will be different at your destination, you should prepare your car before shipping. This may include engine coolant, transmission oil and other fluids.
remove spoilers: Spoilers, fairings, air dams or other low hanging items should be removed to expedite loading and reduce the risk of damage.
take all car phones: Phones and removable radios should be removed from the vehicle.
