How can I prepare my vehicle for shipping?

Asked 5 months ago
Preparing your vehicle for shipping is an important step to ensure it arrives safely at its destination. Dependable Auto Shippers typically recommends several key actions to take before handing over your car for transport. First, it is advisable to clean your vehicle thoroughly, both inside and out. This helps in documenting any existing scratches or dents and allows for a clearer inspection by the shipping company. Next, you should remove any personal items from the car, as these can pose risks during transport and may not be covered under insurance. It is also advisable to check the fuel level; keeping the tank at a quarter full is often recommended. This not only reduces the weight of the vehicle but also minimizes the risk of fuel spills. Additionally, your battery should be in good condition, and it is wise to ensure that the tires are properly inflated. Lastly, do not forget to disable your vehicle's alarm system, as this can prevent it from going off unexpectedly during transport. For further specific instructions or guidelines, it might be useful to check the current web page or resources provided by Dependable Auto Shippers.
