Some cars carry more than mileage.
Original paint. A low front splitter. A starting routine only you know. The details that make a vehicle special should be part of its transport plan from the first conversation.
Plan your transport ↗
Tell us what the model name does not.
Share modifications, approximate value, ground clearance, sensitive finishes and special operating instructions. A familiar model can still need an unfamiliar loading approach when its ride height or bodywork has changed.
Choose the equipment deliberately.
Discuss enclosed shelter, trailer layout, loading angle and whether liftgate or extended ramp equipment is needed. Confirm the actual arrangement instead of relying on a generic equipment label.
Keep a clear condition record.
Photograph the vehicle in useful light and document existing marks. Include wheels, low bodywork and other areas that may not show clearly in a wide photo. Keep the pickup and delivery records together.
Your next questions.
Exclusive capacity can be discussed as a specific requirement. Enclosed service by itself does not imply a dedicated load.
Discuss each item beforehand. Loose parts and personal belongings may need a separate arrangement.
Share the receiving window, access rules and responsible contact, including any event-site restrictions.
