When it comes to shipping your car, one of the important things to consider is how much gas to have in your car at the time of shipping. This is a question that many car owners have when they’re preparing to ship their car. At RunBuggyOne, we understand that shipping your car can be a confusing process, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you. 

We recommend having no more than 1/4 tank of gas in your car at the time of shipping. This is just enough for the transporter to load and unload your car. Having a full tank of gas will add more weight to the car, which can make it more difficult for the transporter to load and unload. Additionally, if your car has a full tank of gas, the transporter may need to drain the gas to lessen the load. 

It’s also important to note that some states have laws that prohibit car shippers from transporting cars with more than a certain amount of gas in the tank. By having no more than 1/4 tank of gas in your car, you’ll be in compliance with these laws and ensure that your car is shipped safely and efficiently. 

At RunBuggyOne, we understand that the safety and security of your car is a top priority. We work with experienced and professional car transporters who have the knowledge and expertise to safely transport your car. Our team is always available to answer any questions you may have and to help you through the process.
