Setting Up For An International Car Move

When moving to another country, one of the most expensive things that come up is safely transporting your car. When preparing your vehicle for international car transport, there is much information you will need as well as taking the necessary precautions to ensure your car does not become damaged during transport.

When setting up a plan to move using international car shipping companies, it is important to know a few pieces of information for them to work with you.

 
 

 

Move Information

Move Date:     
From Zip:
To State:
To City ( Approximate Area ):
Knowing the basic information on your car is first and foremost. This includes the maker, model, year of production, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), weight, and other identification marks such as stickers. You should also know if there are any mechanical problems with the vehicle to avoid a discrepancy with the shipping company and to report any other malfunctions you may encounter after the vehicle is moved. It is also wise to ask other international car shipping companies about what prices they offer for transporting your vehicle as well as inquiring as to what kind of insurance they may have available in case of an accident. Some companies offer better rates for people moving to countries that they commonly deal. You may also save a little bit of money depending on what type of vehicle you are trying to transport, as some international car movers are more specialized and prepared to move certain types of vehicles.
Preparing your car to be transported will take a bit of time to accomplish. You will want to remove any personal items from the vehicle before it is transported for safe keeping. Most companies that transport your vehicle will not claim any responsibility for lost or stolen goods. You should also make the vehicle ready to transport by removing temporary racks and other devices that may be attached to the vehicle. This includes antennas and equipment used by handicapped passengers or drivers. You should also try to leave the fuel around a quarter of a tank full. Transporting a vehicle with a full tank of gas could make the vehicle cause an explosion or fire if something were to happen during the transport. Also be sure to disconnect and shut off any devices that may cause drain on the battery, such as car alarms. Much like lost or stolen goods, the company will not cover the loss or damage incurred on a drained battery. Inspecting the car and taking note of any damages before and after your move should also help you recover in case of an accident.
