Preparing for Vehicle Transport
1. Get Familiar with Your Vehicle's Pick-Up Location
To ensure the collection of your vehicle is efficient, please review the pick-up address. Confirm with our team where and when you will leave your vehicle for collection. Arriving on time at your pick-up location will help us stay on schedule. This way, we can get your vehicle to its final destination as soon as possible!
2. Remove Your Personal Belongings from Your Vehicle
We recommend that you remove all personal belongings from your vehicle before it is transported. You will not be able to access your vehicle once it is securely loaded onto our truck until it reaches its final destination. To save disappointment, grab your belongings before your vehicle is collected.
3. Inspect Your Vehicle Before Loading
Before your vehicle is loaded onto our trucks, please conduct a detailed inspection. Document any existing damage, such as scratches or dents. Taking clear photos of your vehicle from different angles will be helpful for insurance purposes. We require evidence of the condition of your car immediately before pick-up to access our customer guarantee, in the unlikely event that it is necessary.
4. Secure All Loose Parts
Ensure all loose parts and accessories are properly secured or removed. Items like antennas, spoilers, or roof racks should be safely detached and stored inside the vehicle or elsewhere to prevent damage.
5. Check the Tyre Pressure of Your Vehicle
Properly inflate your vehicle's tyres to the recommended pressure. This helps ensure stability during transport and minimises the risk of any tyre-related issues.
6. Disable Any Car Alarms
If your vehicle has an alarm system, disable it to avoid unnecessary disruptions during transportation. This step prevents the alarm from going off while on the freight truck. Directions on how to do this can be found in your vehicle's manual.
7. Collate Any Necessary Documents
Finally, we recommend that you have any relevant documents for your vehicle on hand in case of an incident. This includes proof of ownership, vehicle registration, and any relevant insurance information.
