Highland Moving can make arrangements for the transportation of your automobile or recreational vehicles. Depending on the circumstances (size of shipment, time requirements, etc.) there are a couple of options available. After careful review your Relocation Coordinator will advise if your vehicle should be loaded onto the moving van, or travel separately via third party service.
On the van, your vehicle is properly strapped down and padded to protect the vehicle. A detailed report on the condition of the vehicle (i.e. dents, scratches, rubs, paint condition, cracks, etc.) will be completed and signed by you and the driver before the vehicle departs.
Highland’s network of third party carriers have been carefully selected for their years of specialized experience transporting vehicles by enclosed railcar, and now by state-of-the-art enclosed auto transporter.
Preparing a Vehicle for Transport
• Deactivate the alarm system.
• Wash the vehicle thoroughly for an accurate inspection.
• Remove all personal items from the vehicle, only spare tire and jack should be left in the trunk.
• Make sure the gas is no more than a 1/4 of the tank.
• Secure or remove any loose parts, i.e. ground effects, spoilers, wide mirrors.
• Secure any tears or open seams on convertible tops to prevent further damage.
• Make sure the radiator has adequate levels of fresh antifreeze.
• Make sure the battery is secure and has no leaks.
