How to Prepare Your Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Van for Shipping
A few simple steps to make sure everything goes smoothly
Getting your Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Van ready for transport is straightforward, but do not skip these steps. A little prep goes a long way toward making sure your vehicle arrives in the same condition it left.
- 1
Wash your vehicle
Give your Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Van a good wash before pickup. This makes it easier to spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection. Document everything with photos — close-ups of any scratches, dents, or chips.
- 2
Remove personal belongings
Carriers are not licensed to transport household goods. Remove everything from the interior and trunk of your Express 2500 Cargo Van. Personal items are not covered by carrier insurance if something goes missing.
- 3
Check fluids and battery
Make sure your Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Van starts and runs. The carrier needs to drive it on and off the trailer. Check that the battery is charged, tires are properly inflated, and there are no major fluid leaks.
- 4
Disable alarms and toll transponders
Turn off any aftermarket alarm systems. Remove or deactivate toll transponders like E-ZPass so you do not rack up charges while your Chevrolet is on the carrier.
- 5
Keep fuel low
A quarter tank of gas is plenty. Extra fuel adds weight, which costs more to transport. The carrier only needs enough to load and unload your Express 2500 Cargo Van.
- 6
Note existing damage
Walk around your Chevrolet Express 2500 Cargo Van with the driver during the pre-transport inspection. Both you and the driver should sign off on the condition report. This protects you if any damage occurs during transit.
