- Start by immobilizing the car using wheel chocks or blocks to prevent any movement within the container.
- Secure the vehicle to the container floor with sturdy straps, ratchets, or tie-downs linked to the container's designated anchor points. Use soft straps or protective coverings to avoid scratches or damage to the car's body during transit.

- Lastly, inspect and verify all securing mechanisms to ensure they are tight and secure. This will provide a reliable setup that reduces the risk of damage or displacement during transport or storage.
