Before handing your vehicle over, give it a proper wash. A clean surface helps you clearly inspect for existing damage, dents, or scratches, which is important for both your peace of mind and insurance documentation. Don’t forget to clear out personal items from the interior — they’re not covered during transport and can move around during shipping.
Snap detailed photos of your car from all angles, including close-ups of existing scratches or dings. Date-stamped images are ideal. This step provides a reliable reference in case you need to file a claim after delivery.
