Preparing your vehicle for shipping
A few simple steps make sure your car is ready for safe transport from Seattle.
- Clean your car — wash the exterior so the driver can perform a clear inspection.
- Remove personal items — for safety and insurance reasons, keep belongings out of the vehicle.
- Check fuel level — leave about ¼ tank of gas for loading and unloading.
- Check battery & tires — make sure the vehicle can start and roll properly, and tell us in advance if it can't.
Following this checklist prevents delays and means your vehicle is fully prepared on pickup day. Planning to leave anything inside? Read the rules on shipping personal items first.
