If you are going a long way & at speed, I find it best to tie the wheels down via the suspension (LCA's are good) so that the car can bounce a little on its suspension if you hit rough road. I have seen damage caused when a car is jarred down enough to loosen the tie-down & then bounces back up.
Make sure the car is positioned on the trailer properly. Centered & forward enough to place just a little weight on the hitch only. You dont want the towing cars steering going light or the back wheels of the towing car having too little weight on them.
If the trailer is not inclosed its worth attaching a rug over the front of the car on the trailer to avoid paint/windscreen damage from stones.
Slow & steady is the best way home!
