Old Tried and Trusted techniques for long distance moves.

•    Top up all fluids and inspect the vehicle for any leakages, tire pressure etc. This inspection is a must and will protect you against , maintenance related unwanted stops.
•    Arrange for your removals in-transit insurance. Since most removal companies do not offer in-transit insurance / marine insurance, it is always better to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
•    Charge up your mobile or Navigation systems. If in-car charging options are available ,make sure you pack your chargers with you, otherwise charge your phones and Navigation devices upfront.
•    If you have pets, arrange for them to travel in separate vehicle with you. Pets are not allowed to be packed with items, to maintain the comfort of your beloved pets , arrange their travel with yourself.
•    If there are young kids travelling, make sure you have enough fluids and foods and entertainment for them to last a full days travel.
•    Check for the air-conditioners , if they have not been used for a while.

•    If you are planning to hire a moving company, make sure they have offices in the new city. Having offices in different city means you do not have to return fair thus saving you on hundreds of dollars.
•    Wear comfortable clothes while in the vehicle, comfort will make all the difference between a successful and unsuccessful move.
