Checklist For Auto Shipping

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

Auto Shipping Tip #1:

Most Vehicle Hauler companies will not allow you more than 100 lbs of personal belongings in the vehicle during Automobile Haulers. 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 Shipping Tip #2

Your vehicle will need to be inspected with Tow Truck Services before Hauling. 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 Automobile Haulers, and it was not a damage noted before transport, we at Tow Truck Services would take full responsibility. Another inspection will be administered at the destination.

Auto Shipping Tip #3

You must make sure that you have personal insurance on your vehicle. Most Car Towing 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 Tow Truck company.

Auto Shipping Tip #4

Before Vehicle Hauler 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 Automobile Haulers company.

Auto Shipping Tip #5

For most Car Towing 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 Tow Truck is that if it has anything on it that would make it harder to Towing, then you will probably be charged more for transport.

Auto Shipping Tip #6

Please make sure that you have two complete sets of keys. One for you and one for the Tow Truck company. This way the Car Towing 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 Shipping Tip #7

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

Auto Shipping Tip #8

Please be sure to provide a number where you can be reached at all times. This will enable the Automobile Haulers company to easily contact you in case of an emergency. If the Tow Truck company cannot contact you, your car may be left at a terminal where it will accrue fees.

Auto Shipping Tip #9

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

Auto Shipping Tip #10

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