To help with the move, there are a number of things you yourself can do to keep your car protected while it’s on the road. We’ve collected some of our best tips which can set your car up well for car transportation with Wise Move:
Carry out a car inspection—the first thing you want to do is to carry out a car inspection before your car heads off. Take a thorough look at both the exterior and interior of the car, documenting any scratches, marks, dents or points of interest with pictures and in writing.
Repair any issues or problems—if anything is loose, missing or in bad shape, this can cause serious problems for a car during transportation. Even small maintenance problems can kick off a domino effect, which can lead to extensive damage if not fixed before departure.
Remove any possessions—if you’ve got any personal things in your car, especially valuables, make sure to remove them before your car goes. Our drivers aren’t responsible for any damage to anything loose or extra, so it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Take out all important documents—cars come with all kinds of important pieces of paper and cards that can be a real nuisance to replace. As above, movers aren’t responsible for these documents so it’s a good idea to take them out of the car before the transport date. You might also need them while the car is indisposed.
Ensure the gas tank is a quarter full—when your car arrives at its destinations, the route might require the last part of journey is driven in the car itself - that’s why it’s important to have at least quarter tank of gas to go. Remember though, any more than a quarter will add unnecessary weight to the transport vehicle.
Always discuss your car with your mover—it’s crucial to chat with your mover about your car before it goes. Some won’t allow personal items in the car, while others will want to know the car’s weight for their strict weight requirements. Always keep an open dialogue to guarantee the smoothest process.
Our teams of professional car transport movers are excellent at what they do. They can transport sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, micros, coupes, cabriolets, supercars, SUVs, utes, 4WDs, vans and campervans, all for some of the best prices on the market.
So how much can you expect to pay for car transport? Much of it depends on the car you intend to transport and the condition that car is in. The various factors that can affect how much you pay are things like:
- Car model and make
- Distance to the destination
- Vehicle dimensions
- Vehicle weight
- Condition of the car
- Gas prices
