How much gas should I leave in my car’s gas tank?

It is best to leave ¼ tank of fuel or less in the vehicle due to weight restrictions. The reason for this is to have enough fuel to load and unload the vehicle from the truck. Please contact one of our experienced shipping advisors if you encounter any issues with the carrier at the time of pickup. We can be reached via phone at (917) 563-6616 or via Live Chat.
