3. Prepare your vehicle for shipping

A few small preparations make your shipment smoother. Give your car a quick wash, clear out any personal belongings, and document its current condition with photos. Check that the battery, tires, and fluids are in good shape and keep roughly a quarter tank of fuel to make loading easier. Before the carrier departs, they’ll perform a detailed inspection and note your vehicle’s condition for insurance purposes.
