How to Prepare Your Car

A checklist to ensure your car is ready for the journey.

1

Wash & Inspect

Clean your car so existing scratches are visible. Take photos for your records.

2

Remove Personal Items

Carriers are not licensed to move household goods. Remove loose items to prevent theft or damage.

3

Check Fluids & Battery

Ensure the battery is charged and there are no major leaks. Gas tank should be 1/4 full.

4

Disable Alarms

Turn off all alarm systems or provide instructions to the driver on how to disable them.
