Leaving only a quarter tank of fuel in your vehicle is the safest option during transport, unless your carrier tells you otherwise.

To ensure your vehicle arrives when you need it, you’ll need to plan well in advance—sometimes weeks ahead of time. The carrier should provide a window of time in which your vehicle will be loaded and delivered. Patience is also a key factor. Unlike standard parcel shipping, unforeseen delays can occur.

Take Agree on reliable pick-up and delivery locationout of your vehicle

Before your transporter arrives, understand how and where your vehicle will be loaded. Some companies offer door-to-door car transport, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the vehicle will be delivered directly to your door. Communicate ahead of time with your carrier to find out if their truck and trailer can navigate to your business or residence. Some streets and alleyways may be inaccessible, so you may need to meet at a mutually agreed location.
