What is the collection checklist for?
It helps you organise the arrangements, requested paperwork and questions for a particular vehicle collection. Build it around the instructions you have received.
Who decides what I need to bring?
The organisation holding the vehicle sets its collection requirements. Confirm them directly and keep its instructions with your checklist.
Can I use it when collecting from a vehicle pound?
You can use it to organise the instructions you receive. The checklist itself does not authorise release; bring the actual documents and meet the requirements set by the pound or relevant authority.
What should I keep after collection?
Keep your dated handover notes, receipts and the documents supplied at collection together. Make a separate note of any follow-up you agreed.
