Shipping a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro from Idaho to Texas

The Route

Idaho Falls, ID, 83404 to Katy, TX, 77494

The route started in Idaho Falls, in southeastern Idaho, and then headed south all the way to Katy, which is located west of Houston. This is a pretty lengthy journey, involving different driving conditions and large distances between destinations.

In the case of driving my own Camaro, there would be a few days spent behind the wheel, depending on the amount of rest stops and other factors regarding the trip. Shipping is an option for those moving, buying a muscle car in another state, and other similar circumstances.

This allows avoiding the need to rack up the entire 1,622 miles in the odometer of the Camaro. In terms of an owner who wants to avoid excess miles, this is something worth keeping in mind.

Preparing a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro for Transport

The sporty design of this car makes it wise to look into a couple of things before loading. Especially if the vehicle has been lowered or modified with aftermarket side skirts, splitters, and body parts, ground clearance becomes an issue.

Though this Camaro is drivable, the carrier needs to know whether the car is easy to start, steer, and brake. This will ensure the vehicle is capable of being driven up and down the trailer.

There are several things one can do prior to pickup:

Check ground clearance. Mention any suspension changes or aftermarket parts that could affect loading.
Document the exterior. Photograph the body panels, bumpers, wheels, glass, and any existing marks.
Remove loose belongings. Clear personal items from the cabin and trunk unless their transport has been approved.
Share mechanical details. Report any tire, steering, braking, or starting concerns before the carrier arrives.
Confirm access. Make sure the pickup and delivery locations offer enough room for the transport truck.

Such data will help the carrier to plan the loading operation and provide the owner with documentation on the status of the car prior to transportation.

Enclosed Transport

The enclosed type of transport has been chosen for this particular shipment because it will ensure greater protection of the car during its transport from Idaho to Texas.

When it comes to a muscle car which has to be protected from getting any scratches, enclosed transport may become the best choice. It does not eliminate all risks involved in transport, but provides the owner with better protection from weather and other road conditions in comparison with open transport.

Another issue worth discussing here is related to the procedure of loading. In case the car has low ground clearance, the company transporting the car has to be aware of it before it decides how to load the car.

The cost of enclosed transport is higher than that of open transport, which means that the choice should be based on the type of the car, the wishes of the owner, and his/her value priorities.
