So You’ve Decided to Use Car Transport Services…Now What?

If all this talk about auto transport has made you want to sign up, we commend you. Now on your move you can kick back and relax instead of undertaking a hellish road trip that could very well end up being the next plot for a National Lampoon’s Vacation movie. To ensure that you can indeed relax a bit on your move, you should adequately prepare your vehicle for car transport services.

When you hire auto transport companies, there are certain procedures and steps you should follow in order for everything to go smoothly. After signing up for their services, most companies should provide you with a checklist of things to do before the pickup.

One of the big ones is to remove all of your personal belongings out of the vehicle. Although it may seem like a good idea to utilize the space to put some boxes in, that’s actually a terrible idea. The company isn’t responsible if anything turns up broken or missing, so just don’t take the risk.

Another big thing you’ll have to do is an inspection of your vehicle for any damages, much like you have to do when you rent a car. Be sure to document any existing scratches, dings or dents. If you’re really uneasy about the process or have a bad memory, take photographs to compare when you get the car in your home.
