Think about arriving at your favorite vacation spot … but instead of waiting in line to get your rental car, you catch a cab to your hotel where your own vintage car, sports car or bike is waiting for you! Martha’s Vineyard in your Maserati? South Beach in your Soft Tail? The possibilities are endless to make your vacation memories a lot more memorable. Cruise around your vacation getaway in the sweetest car on the road … yours!
Chances are you've chosen an Auto Transport company that you believe will provide the utmost care while handling your vintage car, hot rod or muscle car, so you can enjoy your car wherever your vacation takes you. Here are some basic guidelines to remember when preparing your car for transport:
Do not fill the gas tank.
Only ¼ tank of gas is necessary for transit.
Check your antifreeze levels.
If you’re shipping a vehicle from a warm climate to a cold climate, be sure it has a sufficient amount of antifreeze. This will protect it from the cold weather.
Secure loose items in the vehicle.
Storing personal items in vehicles is strongly discouraged. However, if there are any loose items in the vehicle, be sure to secure them. Car Transportation companies are not responsible for damages to, or caused by, the loose items in the vehicle.
Disable all alarm systems.
Although alarm systems should be disabled, be sure to inform the auto transporter of any alarms and provide instructions for operating the alarm should it be necessary.
Check tire pressure.
Tires should be inflated to their recommended pressure level to insure safe loading and unloading.
