Bonita Springs, FL Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Bonita Springs, FL is simple but important. Here’s what you need to do:

Remove personal items: Take out all belongings, including items in the glove box, trunk, and console. Most carriers don’t allow personal items due to insurance and weight limits.

Clean your car: Wash the exterior so you can easily spot any damage during inspection. Take photos of your vehicle from all angles before pickup.

Check fluids and battery: Ensure your car has enough gas (about 1/4 tank), oil, and coolant. Make sure the battery is charged and working.

Remove or secure loose parts: Take off custom accessories, spoilers, or loose trim. Remove toll tags, GPS devices, and anything that could fall off during transport.

Have keys ready: Provide one set of working keys to the driver. Keep a spare for yourself.

Document existing damage: Note any scratches, dents, or issues on the inspection report.

Yes. It is important that you, or another adult that you trust, is there for pickup and delivery of your vehicle. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

Open auto transport uses open trailers that expose your car to weather and road debris. It’s the most common and affordable option, costing about 50% less than enclosed transport. Most everyday vehicles ship safely this way.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. This shields it from weather, dust, and road debris. It’s ideal for luxury cars, classic vehicles, or cars with custom paint jobs.

For most Bonita Springs residents shipping standard vehicles, open transport works great and saves money. Choose enclosed transport if your car is worth over $50,000 or has special value to you. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details.
