How to know exchange rate for shipping charges ?

Well do you have a car dolly, which would be a small trailer you just have one end on, or do you have a car trailer where the enitre car is on it, or are you just hooking up to the tow vehicle and going? If you have the dolly, you can tow a front wheel drive car with no problem. If you use the dolly for a rear wheel drive, and your going over 20 miles, you should unhook the driveshaft so you don't mess up the transmission. If you tow a front wheel drive backward, you will want to unhook the CV's for the same reason as the RWD. and nothing will have to be done for the rear wheel drive, however, you have to ensure the steering is tied up so it will not turn, eithe rby tying the steering wheel or bracing the tie rods. If you have a car trailer, then nothing has to be dne, just tie it down secure. If your not using a trailer at all, then you should unhook the driveline/CV shafts if going over 20 miles no matter what way it is being towed, and use someone to steer for you in the towed car. In all cases put the transmission in park or nuetral, only if the drive wheel is disconnected from the transmission, never tow a car with the transmission in park if the drive wheels are rolling. Also set the emergency brake. Ensure the vehicle is securely tied to the trailer, and that the trailer has safety chains attached to the tow vehicle. And lights. This is for safety and should not be overlooked.
