Readying passenger vehicles for international shipping necessitates complete exterior and interior cleaning, removal or securing of all loose items, inspecting hoses and seals, and ensuring the battery is Securely mounted.

Provide an accurate value, share recent photos and condition reports, and confirm that loading, unloading, and any storage periods are Included in the policy.
