Frequently asked questions
Do I need to drain the fuel tank?
No — partial fuel is required to start the car at the destination. Quarter tank for container, half tank for RORO.
Should I service the car before export?
A pre-export service is recommended for any destination where main-dealer service is expensive or scarce. It also boosts resale value.
