How to Prepare Your Car for Intercity Flatbed Transport: A Checklist
Published · Muhammad Sohail
The short answer
Photograph the car from every side, take out personal belongings, leave only a little fuel, switch off the alarm, tell the driver about any modifications or faults, and check the car’s condition together at pickup and delivery.
Before pickup
- Photograph the car from every side, inside and out, plus the odometer, in good light. These photos are your reference at delivery.
- Take out personal and valuable items, and anything loose inside the cabin and boot.
- Leave only a little fuel, around a quarter tank at most, to reduce weight.
- Switch off the alarm or show the driver how to disable it, so it doesn’t go off in transit.
- Secure or remove loose exterior parts such as spoilers or anything not firmly fixed.
- Have the key ready, and tell the driver if the car won’t run.
What to tell the driver
- Your car’s make and model, and whether it is lowered, modified or a 4x4.
- Whether it runs and rolls, or whether the wheels, gearbox or brakes are faulty.
- Whether it is accident-damaged, with photos of the damage.
- The exact pickup point (live location) and delivery point, and any access issue such as a low-ceiling car park or a narrow street.
At pickup
Go over the car with the driver before loading and compare it with your photos. Note any scratches or existing damage so everyone agrees on the starting condition.
At delivery
- Inspect the car before the driver leaves, and compare it with your photos.
- Check that agreed belongings are present and the car is in the same condition.
- If you notice anything, tell the driver right away and photograph it.
