Use real pickup and delivery locations
Enter the cities and postcodes. If vehicles are stored at different sites, identify each collection point and its quantity. Check the selected country: similar city names can point to the wrong location. Agree detailed handover and sensitive release information privately with your chosen carrier.
Ready when: Selected locations match the actual storage site and delivery point.
Specify model, quantity and condition
A brand alone is insufficient: a passenger car and a long van need different space. Include the model, quantity and whether each vehicle starts, rolls and steers. Describe unusual dimensions, low clearance and loading restrictions in the notes. Do not replace unknown details with assumptions.
Ready when: A carrier can identify the vehicle size, number of units and loading restrictions.
Explain timing and constraints
Enter a real pickup date and explain flexibility or the final auction collection deadline in the notes. Confirm the site's opening hours. If the price is unknown, request carrier quotes rather than inventing a budget. Collection and delivery timing should then be agreed separately with the chosen carrier.
Ready when: It is clear when the car can be collected and which deadlines constrain the job.
Check contacts and manage the listing
Provide a reachable phone number and email address. Do not repeat contact details, release codes or identity documents in public notes. If posting as a guest, save the management link sent by email. Close the listing after finding a carrier and clarify any changed date or condition before agreeing transport.
Ready when: Contacts are correct, management access is available and sensitive details stay out of public notes.
Common mistakes
- Describing the route only as Germany to France.
- Treating vehicles in separate compounds as one collection.
- Leaving a request active after finding a carrier.
