Local considerations for Montgomery.
Neighborhood rules
If your street in Montgomery is narrow or has HOA restrictions, a store lot or wide road nearby makes the handoff quick.

Winter prep
Winter storms can delay pickups. Rinse off road salt before the inspection so the condition report is accurate, and make sure the battery is strong.
Highway handoff
If your street is hard to reach, a large lot near I-476 is often the quickest handoff point in Montgomery.
