Yes, with Montway you can have one piece of luggage in the trunk free of charge. This could be a box, suitcase, or bag, weighing no more than 100 lbs.

We suggest the car is clean so that any existing damage is fully visible. Also remove any personal items, especially anything of value. Remove any automatic toll devices and disable any kind of security system which could give the trucker trouble when loading or unloading the vehicle. Finally, try to leave a quarter tank of gas in the vehicle to be sure there is enough for loading and unloading but not so much to start adding extra weight. For electric vehicles, it's recommended to leave the battery charge between 45%-65%.
