Manchester, MO Car Shipping

Preparing your vehicle for transport from Manchester, MO is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your car, including toll passes, GPS devices, and any fragile items. Clean your vehicle inside and out – this helps you spot any existing damage during the inspection.

Make sure your car is in good working order with proper fluid levels and tire pressure. Remove or secure any loose exterior accessories like bike racks, spoilers, or antennas that could get damaged during transport. Keep your gas tank between 1/4 and 1/2 full to reduce weight while ensuring the carrier can move your vehicle.

Have a spare key ready for the driver and take photos of your car from all angles before pickup. For complete preparation details, check our Vehicle Shipping Tips page. Following these steps will help ensure your Manchester, MO car shipping experience goes smoothly.

Open auto transport is the most common and affordable option. Your car rides on an open trailer, exposed to weather and road debris. It’s safe for most vehicles and costs less.

Enclosed auto transport protects your car inside a covered trailer. It shields your vehicle from weather, dust, and road debris. This option costs 40-60% more than open transport.

Choose enclosed transport if you have:

• A luxury or exotic car
• A classic or vintage vehicle
• A car with custom paint or modifications
• A vehicle worth over $50,000

For most standard vehicles shipping from Manchester, MO, open transport works great and saves money. See our open vs enclosed auto transport guide for more details on which option fits your needs.
