A Step-by-Step Guide

Relocating across cities or states can be a stressful process, especially when it comes to transporting your car. Rather than driving hundreds of kilometers yourself, a car transportation service offers a safe, time-saving, and cost-effective way to move your car — whether you’re shifting for work, family, or personal reasons. At Jeeva Packers and Movers, one of the trusted packers and movers in Chennai, we specialize in reliable and hassle-free car transport solutions across India. Along with car shifting, our domestic shifting service and home shifting service ensure that all your belongings — from furniture to vehicles — are moved with complete care. Here’s everything you need to know — step by step — about how this service works and how to prepare your vehicle for a smooth and secure experience.

Step-by-Step Car Transport Process

1. Booking & Initial Assessment

You begin by submitting your request online or by phone. We collect:

• Your pick-up and drop location
  
• Car model and dimensions
  
• Preferred type of carrier (open or enclosed)
  
• Required delivery timeline
  

Our team provides an instant quote, and once confirmed, we schedule a vehicle pickup at your convenience. If you’re also booking a home shifting service, we can arrange to move your household goods along with your car in a single coordinated plan.

2. Vehicle Inspection & Pickup

Our experts visit your location to inspect your car’s current condition:

• Document any existing scratches, dents, and mileage
  
• Ensure fuel tank is below 25%
  
• Ask you to remove valuables and personal accessories
  

A copy of the inspection report is provided for your reference and peace of mind.

3. Loading the Vehicle

Using hydraulic lifts and secure locks, your vehicle is carefully loaded onto a suitable carrier:

• Multi-car carrier – Ideal for long-distance moves and cost-effective
  
• Single-car carrier – Premium option for faster delivery and added safety
  

We ensure your car is properly immobilized to avoid any movement or damage during transport.

4. In-Transit Care

Once your car is in transit, it’s handled with professional care:

• Real-time GPS tracking and periodic status updates
  
• Weather protection (especially for enclosed carriers)
  
• Optimized routing to ensure faster and efficient delivery
  

If you’re also using our domestic shifting service, we track and update you on all your goods during the same trip.

5. Unloading and Final Delivery

At the destination:

• The car is carefully unloaded from the carrier
  
• A post-delivery inspection is conducted
  
• The car is delivered to your doorstep or a designated terminal
  
• You verify the vehicle’s condition before accepting final delivery
  

Benefits of Choosing a Vehicle Transport Service
