Plan for the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and flexible delivery windows to accommodate potential disruptions. Expect increased congestion during the North America Winter Storms (December-March), necessitating additional lead times and cold-weather handling plans. Secure capacity well in advance for the Back to School demand peak (late July-September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) to avoid rollovers and delays. Monitor weather-related impacts and ensure timely customs clearance during the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5).

Getting Autos for international shipping Requires Thorough cleaning, removal or securing of all loose items, verifying there are no active leaks, and ensuring the battery is properly fastened. Most export agents recommend leaving about a quarter tank of fuel, fully charging the battery, documenting existing damage with photos, and providing all required vehicle and customs documentation before the carrier collects the vehicle.
Rules on shipping personal items inside cars Vary by carrier and route. Many international carriers Prohibit household goods inside passenger vehicles due to customs and security regulations, while some domestic haulers Permit limited items if they are below window level and securely fastened. Customs advisors recommend confirming with your carrier in writing and understanding that personal items are often not covered by standard cargo policies, and they can complicate customs inspections.
To reduce moisture and rust risk for cars, We recommend starting with a completely dry vehicle, sealing all openings, and avoiding storage under sprinklers or in standing water. For longer or ocean shipments, using Desiccant packs inside the Vehicle, applying protective wax coatings to vulnerable metal parts, and choosing covered carriers wherever possible will significantly cut condensation and corrosion risk.
Standard carrier liability for Vehicles is usually Limited and may not reflect the true value of your Car. We recommend purchasing full-value cargo insurance that covers theft, impact damage, and moisture-related issues such as corrosion or water intrusion. Provide an accurate value, share recent photos and condition reports, and confirm that loading, unloading, and any storage periods are covered under the same certificate.
For international car transport, you typically need Proof of ownership, a Commercial invoice or bill of sale, a copy of your passport or company registration, and export/customs declarations filed in advance. Some destinations also require Emissions or safety compliance documents. Most freight forwarders recommend checking destination-specific rules well before shipping to avoid delays, extra storage charges, or refusal of entry.
Shipping automobiles within the United States typically requires a title, registration, and proof of insurance. Additionally, a bill of lading may be needed for ground transport.
Seasonal weather conditions can affect ground transport; for instance, winter weather may lead to icy roads, while summer can bring increased traffic. It’s advisable to monitor weather forecasts when planning shipments.
