How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Delaware Car Transport?

Clean the car. Wash your vehicle inside and out. Dirt and grime can hide existing damage, and a clean surface helps with accurate inspection.

Conduct an inspection. Carefully inspect your car before shipping. Take clear photos and mark any pre-existing dents, scratches, or other damage.

Remove personal items. Take out all personal belongings from the vehicle. Most carriers do not cover items left inside during transport.

Reduce fuel level. Keep the gas tank about a quarter full. This reduces the vehicle's weight and improves safety during transport.

Tips to Save Money on Car Shipping to or from Delaware

Beach season planning. Book 2–3 weeks in advance during Delaware’s peak summer beach season (June–August). This period sees higher demand due to family relocations and college students moving in and out, especially near popular areas like Rehoboth Beach or Bethany Beach.

Be flexible with dates. Providing a flexible pickup and delivery window can help us optimize routes and offer lower rates. Flexibility is especially helpful when shipping to or from locations near major cities like Wilmington, Dover, or Newark.

Consider the weather and seasons. Delaware’s climate allows for year-round shipping, but off-peak seasons such as late winter to early spring (January–March) typically offer better rates due to lower demand.
