Transporting your private vehicle safely to your new location requires specialized planning. Driving it for thousands of kilometers can lead to fatigue, engine wear, and highway risks. The safest way is using dedicated vehicle carriers. Contact us to coordinate your vehicle shipping. Here is how to prepare your car or bike for transit:

1. Clean Your Vehicle

Wash your car or bike thoroughly before shipping. Dirt and dust can hide existing scratches, making it difficult to verify the condition of the vehicle upon delivery.

2. Document Pre-existing Damage

Take close-up photos and videos of your vehicle from all angles. Note down any minor dents or scratches on the vehicle condition report before handing over the keys.

3. Keep Fuel Levels Low

Keep the fuel tank filled only up to 1/4th of its capacity. This reduces the weight of the vehicle and eliminates transit combustion hazards inside the closed carrier container.

4. Remove Personal Items

Remove GPS devices, phone mounts, dashcams, toll tags (Fastag), and other loose accessories from your vehicle to prevent transit loss.
