Describe the movement condition
Explain whether the car can move or needs assessment, along with any issues you know about. Do not assume a small fault can be ignored for acceptance. If its condition changes after the enquiry, tell the operator before bringing it for handover.
Request instructions for your vehicle
Ask which instructions apply to fuel, the battery, alarms, keys and accessories. If there are modifications or removable components, describe them to the operator. Do not guess a fuel level or remove components based on this general guide.
Check belongings in the vehicle
Review the passenger and storage areas before handover. If you want to leave any belongings, ask whether they are permitted and how this is recorded in the confirmed scope. Do not assume vehicle shipping also accepts personal belongings or provides cover for them.
Keep a record and handover instructions
Prepare clear condition photographs and notes about known issues. Check the documents, location, time and contact against the operator’s instructions. This preparation helps coordination; vehicle acceptance and booking still need confirmation.
