Why vehicle inspection matters before pickup
Car and bike transportation should begin with a clear pickup record. Clean the vehicle enough to see scratches, dents, paint marks, mirror condition, tyre condition, fuel level, odometer reading, and accessory condition. Photos from the front, back, both sides, dashboard, and close-up areas help avoid confusion at delivery.
For bikes and scooters, inspection should include handle, tank, side panels, indicators, mirrors, seat, number plate, and visible scratches. For cars, check bumper, doors, bonnet, boot, roof, glass, alloy wheels, spare wheel, toolkit, and accessories.
- Take clear photos before handover.
- Remove personal items and loose accessories.
- Keep a copy of RC and ID if required for transport documentation.
Packing and loading checklist for bikes
Two-wheelers need focused protection because exposed parts can get scratched if loaded carelessly. Ask about handle protection, mirror wrapping, tank covering, body panel protection, wheel locking, and loading method before pickup.
Fuel should usually be kept low for safety. Alarm systems, mobile holders, luggage hooks, saddlebags, and removable accessories should be taken off before handover.
- Protect mirrors, indicators, handle, tank, and side panels.
- Remove helmets, documents, luggage, and aftermarket gadgets.
- Confirm pickup and delivery contact numbers.
Car transport planning
Car relocation depends on route, carrier availability, pickup space, delivery access, and customer timing. The vehicle should be checked before loading and again at delivery. If the car is being moved to another city, discuss expected transit time, delivery coordination, and insurance preference in advance.
Premium vehicles, new cars, and cars with low ground clearance should be discussed clearly so suitable loading care can be planned.
- Confirm carrier type and route timeline.
- Do not keep valuables inside the car.
- Inspect the car in daylight at delivery when possible.
What to check at delivery
At destination, compare the vehicle with the pickup photos before signing the handover note. Check visible scratches, dents, mirrors, lights, handle, tyre condition, accessory condition, and odometer reading. If anything looks different, record it immediately with photos and inform the coordinator.
A careful handover process protects both the customer and the moving team because every point is documented clearly.
