subject: Prepping Your Car For The Big Move [print this page] Great news! Youve just graduated from CollegeGreat news! Youve just graduated from College. Youve applied for an entry level position at a financial firm in none other than New York City. Apart from having to move your entire life from your parents house in Duluth Minnesota to your new apartment in Brooklyn, you have to be in the city within the week to start your new job. Yikes! No problem have all your belongings shipped, meanwhile book a flight asap to give yourself a couple of days to find a place to live. So, what do you do with your car?
Thats where Zip Ship comes in. Zip Ship provides excellent customer service and affordable prices to have your vehicle moved anywhere in North America. But it seems like having your car moved requires so much preparation. It really doesnt as our agents at Zip Ship will guide you through the process, give you updates on when your car will be picked up, during its route and just before it has reached destination. But you may ask yourself this question: since Im having my car moved and I will be shipping my stuff anyway, why cant I just pack my car full of all my belongings? This is a valid question. Most companies will not accept to move a car that is packed with items, or they will if it has less than a certain amount of weight. Mostly, companies do not want to be held liable for items that could break or get stolen during the trajectory and therefore will usually tell the customer just that. Still, it is best to ask the broker once he or she has found a trucker to pick-up your vehicle.
Another common question is whether or not there are things to do to the car before its big move. The answer is yes, there are recommended steps to take to ensure the move happens smoothly and the car is not damaged. One misconception is that the tank of gas should be empty, but in fact it is best to have some gas in the tank in case the trucker needs to move the car. You may want to remove antennas from the roof of your car as well.
One reason why it is critical to work with a reliable auto transport company is that you want to make sure they are properly ensured in the instance of an accident or damage to your car. The trucker should take photos and write up a full report regarding the current state of the vehicle being picked up. All scratches, marks and dents should be accounted for. Upon delivery another report is completed to make sure there are no added scratches or damage to the vehicle.
Being prepared is key to keeping your car safe. Zip Ship will not only provide you with the high standards you deserve but will help you throughout the process of moving your car from start to finish, and answer all of your questions. Check out our website for more info.
