It’s getting colder out in the northern states and that means you might need to think a bit more about car hauling. For those car owners looking to use a car hauler during the colder months, there are a few things to keep in mind. An enclosed car trailer is definitely one way to go, but what if you aren’t willing to pay the extra for that, there are a few things to keep in mind.

1. Make sure your antifreeze is topped off. This will help your car start when needed. Often car haulers need to move vehicles from one trailer to another, particularly if you are shipping to an out of the way area. Make sure your car will start easily!

2. Use up the gas. You shouldn’t have more than a quarter tank of gas. More than this will make the car heavier, but you still want enough to move the vehicle around if need be.

3. Close the car up. Make sure that the windows are done up tight. Convertibles need to have their tops up, too. This might seem like common sense, but you might not think of it if you are shipping from a warmer state to a cold one.

Weather can really affect cars, so make sure that your vehicle is prepared for the cold. If you can, an enclosed car trailer will ease your mind. Choose a car hauler that offers this service if you want secure, weather-free car hauling.
