  • Vehicles must be in operating condition when tendered for shipment, with a working emergency brake, and must either be
    licensed or qualified to be licensed for operation on public streets or highways
  • Wash Your Vehicle:
  • All vehicles must have a clean exterior so that a vehicle survey may be conducted at the load port. Dirty vehicles will not be
    accepted.(Auto Trans cannot ship vehicles with cracked or damaged windshields or windows)
  • Gas:
  • Shipping your vehicle  with 1/4 tank or less fuel.
  • Antifreeze:
  • Automobiles shipped between Seattle and Hawaii, especially during the fall and winter months, should be delivered with
    antifreeze. We are not responsible for providing this protection nor liable for damage resulting from low temperatures.
  • Remove All Personal Belongings :
  • The only items acceptable for shipment in your automobile are those tools and accessories normally attached to the vehicle, or
    permanently installed in the dash, doors, rear deck, or console. For example, if not bolted in, the following items should be
    removed:
  • loose radios                                              CB's                                           tape players and tapes

  • Fire Extinguishers  :
  • Must be removed. Federal regulations do not permit fire extinguishers to be shipped with your automobile.  

  • Propane tanks :
  • Vehicles with propane tanks for auxillary uses must be delivered for shipment with the propane tanks empty of any liquid or
    fumes. The empty tank must be tagged and certified as "gas free" by an authorized propane dealer or service company. We
    recommend that you verify the cost of emptying and certifying propane tanks. It may be less costly to purchase a new tank at
    your destination.

    Transport Tips
There are some basic
guidelines to remember
when preparing your
vehicle for transport. The
carriers affiliated with Auto
Trans are true
professionals, but there are
some simple steps you can
take to ensure your vehicle
is fully protected during
transit.
1. Do not store personal
items in your vehicle for
transit. Auto Trans or its
carriers will not be held
responsible for damage to
any personal items stored
in a vehicle during
transport. Personal items
can also cause obstructed
views for the transporter.
The transporter will most
likely refuse to pick up the
vehicle if it contains
personal items.
2. No more than 1/4 tank of
gas. Less fuel, less weight,
safer shipment.
3. Heading to colder
temperatures? Remember
antifreeze. If your vehicle is
being transported from a
warm climate to a colder
one, be sure to winterize
the vehicle with antifreeze.
Neither  Auto Trans nor its
carriers are responsible for
damage caused from lack
of antifreeze.
4. Secure all loose items in
the vehicle. If you have
anything in the vehicle,
make sure it is properly
stowed and/or secured.
Once again,  Auto Trans
and its carriers are not
responsible for damage to
these items or damage to
the vehicle, caused by
loose items.
