Get the Vehicle Ready

The fuel in the car should never be higher than a quarter tank when shipping abroad. All personal items are required to be emptied from the car unless it is shipped in a shipping container and the exterior of the car needs to be clean and completely free of dirt, mud and other grime that can cause damage to other automobiles. You will want to take pictures of the vehicle before it is shipped and keep them in your personal records until the car is delivered.

When the car is delivered it is best to make arrangements to either be at the port if required by the law of the country or have it delivered to your new home or office. Delivery should always be done in the daytime so you can fully inspect the car upon arrival to make sure there is no damage from shipping. Seldom ever, in less than 4% of all automobile deliveries, will there ever be damage to a car but it is always best to carefully inspect the car once it is returned to you.

Moving to a new country can be a very exciting time in your life. You will want to make sure the relocation stays positive by studying the laws of the country, especially the traffic and driving laws, and be sure to follow everything legally so you will avoid accidents and possible legal penalties for not following the rules of the road.
