There are occasions when you may have need to ship your car overseas. You will not only need to find a reputable shipping company, but also prepare your vehicle for being moved overseas. You can´t just leave it as is, since this could cause problems in transit. So, here are a few tips to help you ship your vehicle safely internationally.
Clean your car. Getting all the junk out of it and removing any valuables is best. This ensures that your car can be transported safely, without fear of something sliding around inside and possibly causing damage.
Take a Polaroid. Or any other kind of photo. Take dated pictures if possible so you have proof of what condition your vehicle was in when you left it at the shipping company. If your car is damaged in the car of the shipping company, you will need to prove that this was their fault and that you left your car in good condition. Take your photos outside, with good lighting so any scratches or flaws are readily visible.
Get rid of gas. You only want about 1/8 of a tank of gas in your car. It will need to be moved, so you´ll need to leave a little gas in it, but the less weight the better! If you need to, just drive around a bit to bring the gas down, or siphon it off into an approved container for use elsewhere. Read the rest of this entry »
