Finding the right shipping service

But if you’re still not sold, here are a few more tips to help you find the right car shipping service provider for your upcoming move.

1. Ask all the right questions.

It’s important to air out all your concerns with your prospective car shipping service provider to dispel all doubts and fears when it comes to their services. A good car shipping service provider will be happy to answer questions that will help you understand how they can cater to you.

2. The cheapest choice is not always the best choice.

There will be car shipping companies that will offer the cheapest quote on the spot. Don’t be fooled easily, as this doesn’t guarantee that the service they will provide will be great. It will still boil down to their equipment and safety measures.

3. Choose a company that protects your interest, not theirs.

Great car shipping companies don’t usually ask their clients to sign a contract or pay a deposit prior to the actual shipping of the vehicle. When a company does this, they are actually relinquishing their liability and accountability in case of accidents or damages are incurred by your vehicle during the transport.

A-1 Auto Transport understands the plight of their clients and knows how important it is to deliver a service that’s safe and reliable. To know about their Atmore Car Shipping Service, contact them today!

How to Ship a Car to Atmore

There are several ways to have a car shipped to Atmore and depending on the type of car you own and your overall budget to ship, these are the various modes of transport you can check out:

• Open Auto Carrier: Preferably the most used mode of transport is open air auto transport. These carriers come in single level or double level and can carry up to ten cars at one time. Easiest the cheapest way to move a car across the country and it is a safe mode of transport. Cars are exposed to weather, insects and other elements during shipment, but no more so than if they were being driven. Thankfully, even with exposure to the elements, the transport prevents unnecessary mileage and wear and tear on the car. This standard auto transport will accommodate most cars that are frequently driven and in operational condition.
• Enclosed Auto Carrier: An enclosed auto carrier is ideal for those cars that need a little extra protection during shipment. Cars such as classics, exotics, vintage and collectible cars that need the white glove treatment to ensure they don’t encounter anything detrimental during shipment. There are fewer enclosed carriers on the roads due to the expense of the carriers and the value of the cars they carry, so when you book an enclosed shipment it can take longer for the carrier to arrive, but you will often be able to have a guaranteed delivery date whereas you cannot get that with an open auto carrier since more cars are on the open carrier and the route may be longer. Enclosed carriers also offer the advantage of loading personal property into the enclosed trailer during shipment along with the car. This comes in handy for those who are making a long distance move to or from Atmore and need to bring along their personal goods during the move.
• Train: Shipping on a train is a great way to save some money and have quick delivery. It’s important to either have a local railway station or secure interstate transport to or from the station when shipping with this method of transport. Trains are used frequently for auto dealerships and manufacturers who ship large numbers of vehicles at a time, and they offer both open and enclosed services.
• Airplane: Do you have a very expensive sports car or collectible that needs to arrive within hours rather than days? If so, shipping with air freight may be your best bet, albeit this service is usually used only for high-end vehicles that have a price tag worthy of the expensive fees associated with flying a car across the nation.

Preparing Your Car for Auto Transport

Your car needs to be prepared for auto transport and this includes gathering all transport documentation, verification of transport insurance coverage and ensuring that everything is paid for on time.  You also need to physically prepare the car. Here are a few tips to have your vehicle ready when the driver arrives to pick it up:

1. Wash the car.
2. Clean interior out and remove all personal content from inside.
3. Lower the fuel to one quarter tank or less.
4. Have the battery fully charged.
5. Check for fluid leaks and make repairs if necessary.
6. Take photos of the car and keep those photos until delivery.
7. Get a spare key made for the driver to unlock/lock and start the car.
8. Write your contact info down for the driver.
9. Get after hour phone numbers for the carrier company.
10. Get the driver’s mobile number in case of emergency.
