Auto Transport Services

It is more convenient to explore Attalla in your own vehicle. However, you must consider a few things before getting just any shipping service in the market.

The first thing you should do is to research. Consider which carrier gives the best offer in all aspects. Reading reviews is a great way for you to identify the best options you can get. We strongly suggest that you compare all the prices available in the market before making that call.

You also have to be clear as to where you should be picking up your car. Most shippers offer a door-to-door service, but you have to check if your area allows it. Some cities have local ordinances that may restrict large trucks from driving through local neighborhoods. You and the carrier must have a mutual agreement on the most convenient route to take, and you should approve that route before signing the agreement. If your city has an ordinance about trucks or the road you live on is too narrow to navigate, the carrier will arrange to meet as near as possible to your address to pick the car up or deliver.

Lastly, make sure that you know your vehicle’s condition and how it looks before it gets transported. Take pictures of it and note of existing dents or scratches. Take out all your personal stuff inside the car to make sure nothing will be lost. This also helps to prevent any damages that can incur from personal items flying around inside the car as it is transported.

With transportation as a prime source of income, It has a competitive edge over other Alabama cities. A1-AT goes hand in hand with the city’s developing transport industry through its auto-moving services. They guarantee fully insured deliveries day in and day out at an affordable price that you will love. A1-AT ships, boats, cars, motorbikes, and even military vehicles. You do not need to worry about auto transport; let them take care of it for you.

How to Ship a Car?

Cars can be shipped with open or enclosed auto transport. As a vehicle owner, you will need to choose between the following modes of transport when you book service.

• Open Carrier Auto Transport: This standard form of auto shipping is the most preferred way to ship a car nationwide. Open auto transport carriers are built-in single as well as double-decker carriers and can haul anywhere from one to ten vehicles at a time. When it comes to interstate transport, this is the cheapest way to go. Don’t let the lower rate worry you, though. Open transport is safe and is used for millions of vehicles every day. With a standard open carrier, the car needs to be operational so it can be driven on and off for delivery. For inoperable vehicles, the agent needs to know in advance so an appropriate carrier with a lift can be scheduled. Not all carriers have lifts, so be sure to alert the company so the right carrier will arrive.
• Enclosed Auto Carrier: When you want a guaranteed delivery date and you have a valuable classic, antique, collectible or other rare or garaged vehicle to move, then checking into enclosed auto carrier services is suggested. These carriers will cost more than open carriers because they offer extremely protective transport, have higher insurance coverage due to the cars they carry, and because you can ship more than just the car inside the sealed trailer.
• Train: Not many people think about the railroad when they are planning to ship a car across the U.S., but it is a low-cost option for both open and enclosed shipments. As there is no active railway station in Attalla, you will need to schedule interstate transport from the nearest station or you will need to be at the station to pick up in person, but the train is always an option nationwide.
• Plane: If you own a car that is considered extremely rare (one of a kind), highly expensive (well above others), and must be delivered within hours instead of days or even weeks, shipping with air freight is a great option. This is, however, the most expensive mode of auto transport and should only be used for cars that have an overall value much higher than the cost to ship. For instance, you would not typically ship a Honda or other car driven daily, even a new car, on a plane as the cost to ship can greatly outweigh the car's value.

Preparing Your Auto Transport

Whether you are moving to or from Attalla, Alabama, and need to ship your car, you need to take steps to have it ready to go when the driver arrives to pick it up.

• Wash the car to remove all dirt and grime. This not only prevents dirt from falling onto other cars, but it helps see all surface areas better to make sure there is no cosmetic damage before or after transport.
• Remove all personal content from inside the car. This helps prevent damage from objects moving around and prevents vandals from stealing anything left inside. Personal items are not covered by transport insurance, and the US DOT does not allow carriers to haul anything other than vehicles.
• Drive the car until the fuel is no higher than one-quarter of the tank.
• Check for leaks and if you find any, have them repaired. Most drivers will not load a car that has fluid leaks as these can be a fire hazard.
• Disengage the theft alarm.
• Make sure you take photos of the car and keep the photo files until the car has been delivered.
• Get a spare key made for the driver.
• Exchange contact info with the driver in case there is an emergency during transport that would delay or speed up the delivery date or affect your car.
