Auto Transport Services in Berkeley

Safe and Reliable Berkeley Car Shipping Services by A-1 Auto Transport

There are many auto transport companies that abound in the city of Berkeley, but A-1 dares to be different in many ways with the tailor-made solutions we offer our clients.

Our company, which has been in the auto transport services business for more than two decades, has grown to earn a reputation as a company that provides “safe and reliable” service to our customers.

Cost & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and what type of vehicle you are shipping.

Why safe?

A-1 Auto Transport always ensures that your vehicle is well-protected while it is in our hands. We handle untoward incidents differently from other companies, as we have included an insurance coverage for both vehicle and its owner prior to its transport. At the same time, the owner can also choose to have a supplemental insurance for his vehicle if he thinks that would be necessary. We would be glad to make some arrangements for you.

To ensure your car’s safety and convenience, we are also capable of delivering it to your door to be driven by our professional driving staff while some companies may require pick-up at their local warehouse. With us, we offer you both. We also charge storage or warehousing fees in case you fail to pick it up at the time of delivery. These instances may incur additional costs, but it is totally negligible compared to the time and inconvenience it may cause you.

Long Distance Auto Transport to/from Berkeley

A1 transport takes into consideration your budget as well as the requirements you may have for your long distance auto transport. If you cannot afford our more expensive services, like our door to door option and our enclosed carriers, we also have cheaper alternatives.

Our staff is trained to listen to your circumstances and offer you solutions which you can afford and are most helpful. For example, if your car isn’t in running condition, it may be better to send a truck to pick it up from your home instead of moving it to a terminal. If you cannot afford our door to door service, then a door to terminal option may work.

Shipping Luxury and Classic Cars in Berkley

Although your car is a mobile machine, taking it from another state to Berkley should still be left to a direct shipper. It will be safer this way and it won’t gather mileage.

Long distance drives are difficult for all vehicles, but luxury and classic cars may get damaged the most. Classic cars with original parts can break down when overworked. Luxury vehicles will also have problems with bumpy roads or bad weather.

The damage may not be high, but it will be enough to make considering an alternative a good idea. A direct shipper can charge about the same as driving the car, while offering better protection for it. For an extra fee, A1 auto transport can use an enclosed auto carrier, making the shipment much more secure.

Special Discounts in Berkeley

One of the main groups that frequently request our services is seniors. For them, long trips across the country are too tiring and time consuming, yet although the price of auto transportation is pretty much the same, it can still be too high.

Fortunately, with our senior discount, the cost is lowered by quite a bit. We encourage you to also browse through our other specials, since you might qualify for more than one.

A1 auto transport's discounts are available to military men and women, but also to college students. If you own a car but can't afford to drive it to the city where your dorm will be, you can have one of our carriers take it for you at a cheap price and with a price reduction.

International Shipping to/from Berkeley

It’s often that military personnel get reassigned to other states or countries. If you find yourself in such a situation and you’d like to take your vehicle with you, A1 auto transport can help. With our military discount, the cost of shipping will be on the lower side, and you’ll be able to commute much faster.

We can arrange for your car to be picked up by an enclosed or an open auto carrier. The departure date is up to you. Since international shipments can take up to a month when passing oceans, you may want to arrange it sooner or later depending on when and where you need the vehicle most.

Cheap Transportation Options in Berkeley

To reduce your moving expenditure, you may be searching for cheaper auto transportation methods. After all, your car is more resilient than your furniture and even if the transport takes a bit longer, you can wait or plan ahead.

A1 auto transport has several low priced shipping methods. Open carriers are an industry standard and our main shipping tools. They’re priced competitively, since they can carry many vehicles at a time therefore reducing shipping costs.

Terminal to terminal shipping is another popular method of lowering prices. You can avoid the added fees stemmed from driving the truck to your neighborhood in this way.

Why reliable?

Our name, A-1 Auto Transport, speaks of dependable service. All these years, we have steadfastly remained in the auto transport business and worked hard to maintain a concrete reputation in the industry for our dependability.

We have surrounded ourselves with a network of highly trained professional staff, 40 terminals, and a modern fleet of 30 carriers.

Our quotes are totally FREE and can be obtained online through our website or through our toll-free number. You can also get your FREE quote in some mobile apps like Google Play and iTunes.

With your full disclosure, we can provide you a simple and accurate quotation.

We always see to it that we make things simple and straightforward, and all we require from our customers is to provide us with information regarding their vehicles, such as make, model, and year. We may charge extra for inoperable vehicles or for those that require enclosed trucks, but this is merely intended to offset our company’s operating cost for giving extra protection to your vehicle.
