Shipping your car safely
Our site’s users often ask us: “What steps should I take to ship my car safely?” It is only natural to feel concerned about the safety of one’s vehicle. In our experience, a vast majority of accidents and damages can be safely avoided by following a few simple, common sense precautions.

Consider the following tips to ensure your car or vehicle is shipped safely.

Maintain open communication lines

Even the best shippers cannot ensure hassle free, accident free transportation. Some eventualities are bound to occur so it is always a good idea to maintain open communication lines. Since you, too, might be in the process of relocation, provide the shipper with the easiest way to contact you -- just in case.

Look out for vehicle specification related issues
If the dimensions of your vehicle are not supported by your shipping company, it is more than likely that either they will not accept your vehicle for transportation or if they do, there are higher chances for damage. Ensure your vehicle’s dimensions -- height, weight, etc. -- are supported by the car shipping company.
Check your ground clearance status
Ask your auto shipping company as to how you can verify the status of your ground clearance and be sure to diligently follow up on that to ensure safe loading and unloading
Is your vehicle functioning optimally?
Imagine the shipper’s surprise if your car does not start. In addition to delays, some transportation companies may even levy a fee or add billable time to your invoice if your vehicle does not start when they need.
Have an extra set of keys
Retain an extra set of keys for yourself before giving a copy to the shipper. Many individuals fail to follow this one simple precaution.
Follow instructions for preparing your car for shipping
Ask your shipper for detailed instructions as to how you should prepare your car for shipping. The instruction manuals should provide information about the amount of fuel you should retain in the tank and other important instructions to ensure your car will be shipped safely.
Keep them informed
If your car has unique features (or even otherwise) inform your shipper about extensions, modifications, and accessories associated with your car. This will not only ensure safe transportation, but it will also prevent unnecessary delays.
