How to Ensure Hassle-Free Vehicle Shipping

The best way you can ensure a positive experience with your vehicle shipping is to choose an experienced, reputable company to oversee the process for you. For 30 years, Amerijet has been offering a range of vehicle shipping solutions to meet their customer’s every need.

To further streamline the shipping of your car, there are several things you can do to get it prepared for transport.

1. Take pictures to avoid disputes—Taking pictures of your vehicle beforehand gives you peace of mind knowing in the event that damage occurs, you have proof it wasn’t previous damage. Take these pictures in the presence of a shipping representative to verify their accuracy.

2. Disconnect your car alarm—During the process of vehicle shipping, there’s going to be some moving and jostling around while your car is being placed off and on the boat and during transport. The last thing you want is for your car alarm to go off for hours at a time until your battery is drained. Avoid this by completely disconnecting your car alarm.

3. Clean your car out—For insurance reasons and clearing customs, it’s necessary to remove all personal items from your vehicle before shipping.

4. Remove loose specialty parts—If you have any spoilers, ground effects, or other specialty parts, consider locking them down or completely removing them. This will help to avoid damages and misplaced parts.

5. Get transportation insurance—Your standard vehicle insurance policy will not cover your car during vehicle shipping. Amerijet offers transportation insurance to keep you covered until your car arrives at its destination.
