Using Akron Vehicle Transport Companies

Prior to booking, consider some tips:

• Book early to ensure competitive rates: The earlier you book, particularly if you put down a deposit, the better the rate will be. Last minute bookings are possible but generally come with a higher price tag.
• Ask for customer references with new companies: If you are working with a fairly new company, the best way to determine how responsible they will be with your vehicle is to get a reference from a past customer. This will put your mind at ease in moving your vehicle.
• Ask questions if you are unsure of elements of the contract: Never sign on the dotted line if you are unsure any element of your contract. This can lead to you being locked into a contract with which you are not happy.

Long Distance Auto Transport to/from Akron

The longer the distance, the more time moving on your own will cost you. A professional company can save you days if not weeks on the road.

You can hire a mover to pick up most of your possessions, but for your car, you’ll need an auto shipping company. You may think of driving behind the mover’s truck, but over long distances you may not be able to keep up. Long distance trips can be draining, and they’re always time consuming.

Instead, you can take a plane to your new home and prepare everything in advance. You can spend more time with your former neighbors, meet the new ones, visit the area, etc. In the meantime, A1 Auto Transport can move your car safely, with no extra mileage added and at a reasonable price.
