There are times when you need to transport a car from one part of the country to another. Maybe you’ve purchased a car online from a private party or a dealership in another state, or perhaps you’re relocating for a new job. Maybe you want to send a car to a relative. Shipping a vehicle across the country can be costly, but if you weigh that against flying to pick up a car and the time and expense involved in driving it home, it is often worth it. Shipping a vehicle isn’t like shipping a package: It won’t happen overnight. Deliveries in the U.S. have roughly a three to four week window from when the car is picked up to when it will arrive at its destination.

Prior to shipping your car follow necessary steps for safe transportation:

• Use up as much of the fuel in the tank as possible in order to prevent any safety hazards, so give your vehicle one last ride before transporting it.
• Check your vehicle for any fluid leaks to avoid spilling onto other cars or a fire. Coolant and oil are very slippery substances and could cause harm if not properly noted by you and your carrier.
• Clean out all of your items from the car and make sure that any loose items/panels are secured.
• Take photos of all sides of the car just prior to shipping and note any pre-existing damages.
• If necessary, remove the front bumper or any low hanging lip spoilers/splitters, raising the ride height via the suspension (if adjustable) and stiffening the shock dampening.
