A junction town
Salem lies where the roads from Bengaluru, Chennai, Coimbatore and Trichy meet, so carriers on several routes pass close by. Steel plant staff on transfer, business families and people moving to Bengaluru or Chennai are the usual senders.
To the carrier
Around the old bus stand and the markets, traffic is heavy and the streets narrow. Our driver collects the car from your home and drives it to a wide road where the carrier can stop safely.
The condition report
The driver walks round the car with you, notes scratches, dents, the odometer reading and fuel, and you both sign. Take your own photos too. At delivery, the car is checked against the same report.
Before pickup
Empty the cabin and boot apart from the spare wheel and tools, keep a quarter tank or less, and keep copies of the RC and insurance ready.
At delivery
We call before the carrier arrives, and the car is checked against the report made in Salem.
