Checklist For Auto Transporting

When it comes to the Shipping of your vehicle there are some simple things that you can do to make your Car Shipping experience easier. The biggest and most important thing is to have your car prepared correctly before having Street Haulers Car Shipping pick it up. This will save you time and money in the long run. It will also cut down on the amount of time that the car will have to be inspected and will insure that your Car Moving experience is a success. We at Street Haulers Car Shipping care about our customers and we want you to have the best Auto Shipping experience possible. Here are some quick and painless tips to getting you on your way to having a successful Car Moving experience.

Auto Transporting Tip #1:

Most Car Moving companies will not allow you more than 100 lbs of personal belongings in the vehicle during Vehicle Hauling. These belongings will have to be put in the trunk. But remember, any personal items inside the vehicle will not be covered if lost or stolen during the transport of your automobile.

Auto Transporting Tip #2

Your vehicle will need to be inspected with Street Haulers Car Shipping before Moving. To make the vehicle easier to inspect, please insure that the vehicle is clean. The exterior should have little to no dirt while all upholstery should be visible inside the car. The inspection of the vehicle is for your benefit. If something was to happen to the vehicle during Vehicle Hauling, and it was not a damage noted before transport, we at Street Haulers Car Shipping would take full responsibility. Another inspection will be administered at the destination.

Auto Transporting Tip #3

You must make sure that you have personal insurance on your vehicle. Most Auto Shipping companies will not repair damages due to normal road conditions or conditions of nature. For example, if your car was damaged while sitting on a parking lot, even if your vehicle was under the control of the auto transporter, your insurance would be responsible. The carrier is responsible only when the car is directly damaged by the Car Shipping company.

Auto Transporting Tip #4

Before Car Moving make sure that you only have a quarter of a tank of gas. No more, no less. This is to ensure that the car has enough gas for loading and unloading by the Vehicle Hauling company.

Auto Transporting Tip #5

For most Auto Shipping companies there is usually an extra charge if your vehicle is inoperable, has a camper shell, is lifted, is oversized, etc. The rule of thumb in Car Shipping is that if it has anything on it that would make it harder to Shipping, then you will probably be charged more for transport.

Auto Transporting Tip #6

Please make sure that you have two complete sets of keys. One for you and one for the Car Shipping company. This way the Auto Shipping company will have access to load and unload your vehicle. Please make sure that the keys both, unlock the doors and unlock the ignition.

Auto Transporting Tip #7

Please make sure that you disable your car alarm so that it does not get triggered during Moving.

Auto Transporting Tip #8

Please be sure to provide a number where you can be reached at all times. This will enable the Vehicle Hauling company to easily contact you in case of an emergency. If the Car Shipping company cannot contact you, your car may be left at a terminal where it will accrue fees.

Auto Transporting Tip #9

Remember, that if moving in colder climate to make sure that you check all antifreeze and fluids in your vehicle before Hauling. This will insure that no part of the engine will be harmed during the cold starts in frigid temperatures. The Car Shipping company will usually not take responsibility for a problem that they did not directly cause.
