I may need to ship a Prius from the USA to Europe this fall. Anyone have any ideas on what kind of vehicle preparation I would need to do? The shipping time is normally 4-6 weeks, and I'm worried that the vehicle battery would be completely drained in that amount of time. I'm also worried that the personnel that actually load and unload the vehicles on the ship won't have a clue as to how to start/stop the engine. Any recommendations? Anybody have any idea how Toyota handles the transoceanic shipment?

Thanks,

Bill
