Checklist For Auto Transport

When it comes to the Carriers of your vehicle there are some simple things that you can do to make your Enclosed Cargo experience easier. The biggest and most important thing is to have your car prepared correctly before having Enclosed Cargo 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 Mover experience is a success. We at Enclosed Cargo care about our customers and we want you to have the best Automobile Carriers experience possible. Here are some quick and painless tips to getting you on your way to having a successful Car Mover experience.

Auto Transport Tip #1:

Most Car Mover 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 Transport Tip #2

Your vehicle will need to be inspected with Enclosed Cargo before Shipping. 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 Enclosed Cargo would take full responsibility. Another inspection will be administered at the destination.

Auto Transport Tip #3

You must make sure that you have personal insurance on your vehicle. Most Automobile Carriers 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 Enclosed Cargo company.

Auto Transport Tip #4

Before Car Mover 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 Transport Tip #5

For most Automobile Carriers 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 Enclosed Cargo is that if it has anything on it that would make it harder to Carriers, then you will probably be charged more for transport.

Auto Transport Tip #6

Please make sure that you have two complete sets of keys. One for you and one for the Enclosed Cargo company. This way the Automobile Carriers 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 Transport Tip #7

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

Auto Transport 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 Enclosed Cargo company cannot contact you, your car may be left at a terminal where it will accrue fees.

Auto Transport Tip #9

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

Auto Transport Tip #10

Relax, and take a deep breath. We at Enclosed Cargo transport hundreds of cars every month all over the globe. If you have taken the time to complete these simple steps before Vehicle Hauling your vehicle will be one hundred percent ready for Enclosed Cargo.
