Helpful Tips Before Shipping a Car From California
Follow these suggestions to ensure a smooth shipping experience. Preparing your vehicle correctly and planning ahead can prevent delays and help protect your vehicle throughout the transport process.
Clean out the vehicle
Remove all personal items from the car’s cabin and trunk. Loose objects can shift during transport, cause damage, or violate carrier insurance policies. Clean interiors also make inspections easier.
Check fuel and fluids
Leave about a quarter tank of gas — enough to load and unload the car. Check for leaks and ensure all fluids are at safe levels to avoid mechanical issues during transport.
Inspect and photograph
Wash the car and take clear photos from all angles before pickup. This helps document its condition in case of any damage claims and ensures transparency throughout the process.
Book early
Last-minute bookings can limit your options and increase rates. Scheduling your shipment a week or more in advance helps lock in better pricing and availability.
Monitor local traffic updates
Check Caltrans before pickup day to avoid congestion or detours. Staying informed about California traffic can help streamline coordination with your carrier.
