Areas We Cover
The scope of service of any vehicle shipping firm depends on its firm type. There are two options: brokerage and carrier firms. Brokerage firms act as intermediaries that buy your shipping order and re-sell it to a carrier firm with the resources to perform the actual car moving. A-1 A-T is licensed and registered by the FMCSA as a carrier firm. Our operations involve meeting with clients from their homes, business premises, and terminals spread across the city as we ship their cars.
Having served Benicia for the last two decades, we are familiar with all communities in the region. We also know which routes lead to which communities when shipping cars to or from Benicia. We also extend our scope of service to neighboring cities, including Vallejo, Amtrak, and Sacramento.
Auto Transport Services We Provide
Long-distance Hauling:
Both interstate and coast-to-coast car shipping could get expensive due to the distance covered. We, however, employ efficient route mapping. This strategy enables us to identify the shortest and most convenient routes to use when sending cars between Benicia and any other location in the mainland US. For instance, interstate 80, which crosses the northern side of Benicia, is the most direct route for sending cars to and from Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The shortest route taken translates to lowered fuel consumption and, in a ripple effect, a reasonable price for the job. Since some long-distance jobs could take as many as three days, we offer free satellite tracking services so you can be up to speed with the shipment's progress right from your phone.
Heavy Equipment Moving:
We are experienced in shipping tractors, concrete mixers, excavators, bulldozers, truck loaders, harvesters, backhoes, cranes, hydraulic forklifts, turbines, engines, gear, and other equipment. Our heavy freight insurance policy covers all equipment in transit against damage or loss. This guarantees a worry-free time when getting the equipment shipped. Read more about this service here.
Multi-Vehicle Carrier services:
We have an abundance of open carriers, which can hold about 4 to 8 cars. They create a resource-sharing advantage in which clients only have to pay the hiring cost of one multi-car carrier. Car dealers, motor show organizers, and private clients get to enjoy huge discounts from this auto transport service.
Types Of Vehicles We Transport
A-1 A-T's service mix is tailored to the profile of the different types of cars that we ship. Clients enjoy personalized services for sedans, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, high-end cars, electric & hybrid cars, inoperable cars, salvaged vehicles, RVs & Motorhomes, boats, and yachts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Benicia, CA?
Car shipping to or from Benicia, CA typically costs between $400 and $1,100, depending on distance, vehicle size, transport type, and seasonal demand. Shorter trips within California are on the lower end, while cross-country routes may reach the higher range. Choosing between open or enclosed carriers also affects pricing. For a detailed cost breakdown, check the car shipping cost guide.
How long does car shipping from Benicia take?
Most vehicle shipments from Benicia take 2–5 days within California and up to 9 days nationwide. Timing depends on route length, traffic along I-80 or nearby ports, and carrier availability. Coastal weather and port schedules at nearby hubs such as the Benicia Port Terminal can also influence delivery times.
Is enclosed transport available for high-end or classic vehicles in Benicia?
Yes. Enclosed car transport is recommended for luxury, collectible, or low-clearance vehicles. These carriers protect cars from weather, debris, and salt air exposure common around the Benicia waterfront. While enclosed service can cost 30–50% more than open transport, it offers maximum safety and peace of mind. See how it works on our enclosed auto transport page.
Do auto transport companies in Benicia offer pickup from the port?
Many shippers, including A1 Auto Transport, provide pickup and delivery at the Benicia Port Terminal or nearby residential areas. Carriers coordinate with port authorities for smooth handoffs, especially for international or vessel-based shipping. This is ideal for customers importing or exporting through Northern California’s major port routes. Learn more at our international car shipping page.
What factors influence car shipping rates in Benicia?
Rates depend on distance, carrier type (open/enclosed), vehicle weight, route popularity, and the time of year. Benicia’s proximity to major freeways and ports often keeps rates competitive. Shipping during peak seasons (spring–summer) or requesting expedited service may raise costs slightly.
How can I prepare my vehicle for pickup in Benicia?
Before pickup, clean your car, remove personal belongings, and document its condition with photos. Ensure the fuel tank is about ¼ full and alarms are disabled. Benicia’s mild climate makes prep easy, but vehicles near coastal zones should also be washed to prevent salt residue. Review our car pick-up and delivery service tips for step-by-step guidance.
