Hi Every Body,
How is life? If you are moving by car so then make sure you make all efforts to remove items that can be knocked off from your car, before shipping it. By this it mean, radio antennae, removable bonnet mirrors and the likes of that. Your movers and packers will probably take all measures to ensure a safe transit for your car.

On the other hand, leaving a protruding antenna on your dickey is asking for a mishap. However, most packing companies will require having you remove this in any case, whether you yourself figure it out or not. Make sure you uninstall all removable items like CD player, air fresheners etc from inside the car as well.

They could be knocked out of place during transit, and get damaged in the bargain. Again, the shipping company will probably advise you on that as well, in any case. Lastly, make sure you switch off all alarm systems that may be active on your car. Not only would it be a menace during transit, it could also lead to a dead battery when your car reaches its destination, and you cannot blame the shipping company for it either. Remove all luggage racks or ski racks that could make handling a problem for the movers.

If you are moving your vehicle from a tropic climate to a cold climate, you need to make sure the engine is ready for the change. Very cold places like Alaska will freeze the petrol in the petrol pipe, and your car just won?t start then. You need to install a heater in the engine for this purpose, and it is best to plan ahead and get this done before you reach Alaska! That way, when your car arrives by truck or whatever, you could simply drive it home rather than get someone to tow to a garage and have the heater installed. Also, you may want to replace the air conditioner with an air heater, for your own comfort. But this you can always take care of later. However, the engine heater is vital to start the car at all.


Finally, if you are moving a truck or a convertible, make sure the canopy is removed, or fastened securely. If it opens up during transit, it could well be damaged. Plan ahead on all these issues, and your car will reach you in top condition!


Best Regards...
