Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
A salvage vehicle is one an insurer has declared a total loss. Some are also tagged for contamination when blood or fluids were involved. Labels and rules vary, so ask the insurer or the state title office what applies to a specific vehicle.
A biohazard vehicle is a car, truck, van or bus that has been contaminated by blood, body fluids, waste or decomposition. Because these materials can carry infectious germs, the vehicle needs decontamination, not just a wash.
A rental company or fleet owner may handle cleaning through its own insurer or its own account. Ask the rental company or fleet manager who to call before you book work. The vehicle owner usually decides who is hired.
It may, or it may not. It depends on whether an insurer, a salvage record or a title brand noted the contamination. Ask the seller, the insurer or the title office, and keep cleaning records.
Cleaning a biohazard car starts with protection: gloves, eye protection and a mask. Contaminated upholstery and padding are removed, hard surfaces are cleaned, and an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Heavy contamination is best left to a vehicle biohazard cleanup team.
One call starts the cleanup, disinfection and disposal.
