Tips for picking your car up at the port

This is the final step in your car shipping process. After picking up your car, you will be all set in Hawaii.

  • Inspect the vehicle thoroughly – You need to check your vehicle thoroughly for any damage. If there is any damage, be sure to tell a representative if there is any so they can mark it on the Bill of Lading so you can file a claim. Once they notate this, try to be sure to file an insurance claim within twenty-four hours.

  • Get your car washed – Your car will likely have some dust or dirt on it from the shipping process. The hull of the ship can be fairly dusty at times.

  • Get your car inspected – You should get your car inspected so that you can get any issues fixed that may have occurred during shipping such as your alignment be slightly knocked off.

  • Fill up your gas tank – Remember to get your gas tank filled because there was only a quarter of a tank when you handed the car over.
