The Chatom Community Centre is a major attraction for tourists from outside of Chatom who come to town to participate in family reunions, picnics, boating, swimming, and other fun activities on Lake Ellis. In this local lake, residents tend to spend quite a bit of their free time during the warmest months of the year. The town also boasts a beautiful 18-hole golf course, so be ready to grab your clubs and spend some time on the range.

Chatom lacks major public transit, so having a personal car is going to be an important factor of life in town. A-1 Auto Transport is here to help when it is time to have a vehicle moved to or from Chatom. We offer several options for auto transport to make the move simple for our customers.

Areas We Serve

A-1 Auto Transport is dedicated to offering the best services any client can enjoy. Offering such a service from a generalized perspective compromises the quality. Instead, we take up every client individually and tailor the car shipping experience to match their needs and the resources available near them. The road network serving their exact locations, as well as possible terminals in the vicinity, directly affects the way we serve every client.

We invest time and resources in getting to know every location in Chatom. This facilitates timely deliveries when shipping cars to or from Chatom.

Auto transport services we offer

• Golf cart shipping: Most car shipping firms neglect offering golf cart shipping. Golf carts come in different types. You could have a simple ATV, a Go Kart, a 6 sitter or a conventional golf cart. Our golf cart shipping trailers are fitted with nonabrasive soft ties and strength skids that ensure the golf cart is safely secured on to the carrier to avoid damage. The best news is, we offer to deliver the golf cart to the golf course of your choice. For instance, should you be visiting another city or state for a Golf Tournament, we can haul your golf course from The Pines of Chatom Golf Course in Chatom to the visiting golf course and back after the tournament.
• Freight shipping: Should you relocate to Chatom, we offer affordable freight services for your belongings and your car. You get to choose from any of our three freight plans. Less Than Truckload (LTL) Freight works best for folks whose items only cover about half to three-quarters of the truck. Truck Load (TL) is the best option for folks whose belongings fill the entire truck. On the other hand, the intermodal freight service is the best option for hauling your car alongside a few items.

Types of Auto Transport Carriers

Auto transport services can easily be booked by submitting a free quote online anytime or by calling one of our agents. However, it’s a good idea to know more about the transport carriers you can choose from prior to getting a quote.

• Open Auto Carrier: An open auto carrier is the most common mode of transport for motor vehicles shipping across the United States. Open auto transport is the cheapest way to ship a car and is suitable for most vehicles. Owners of oversized SUVs and pickup trucks may need to pay a higher rate for transport as larger vehicles tend to take up space that could be used for more vehicles. Open carriers are available in single, flatbed, and double-decker and can haul anywhere from one to ten or more cars at a time.
• Enclosed Auto Carrier: Enclosed carriers are designed for vehicles that need to have a secure environment during shipment. These cars usually consist of classics, luxury, collectibles, and rare or expensive vehicles. A guaranteed delivery date is often available with enclosed transport. Enclosed carriers occasionally have climate-controlled or padded interiors for added protection, and with the added security, this form of transport will cost more than open transport options.

Enclosed transport is more expensive not only because of the secure environment but also because enclosed carriers cost more to buy and haul fewer vehicles, and insurance rates for the types of cars hauled inside are usually higher than the insurance rates for standard vehicles shipped with open transport.

Alternative Modes of Auto Transport

Many customers also like to know that they can choose from railway and airway shipping besides interstate auto transport. To ship on a train, it’s a good idea to call at least one month in advance to secure a spot, and depending on how far from a railway station you are located, you might need to schedule interstate transport as well.

Air freight is the most expensive way to ship a car, and unless your vehicle is costly, it is most likely best to utilize interstate or train transport due to the high cost of air shipments.

How to prepare your car for shipping

• Wash your car: A dirty car is an eyesore, especially when it is to be delivered under the terminal arrangement. You wouldn’t want to be turned down due to its messy state. Additionally, a car hauler’s inspection report is most thorough when the car is clean. Learn why here.
• Remove personal items: You never know where thieves lurk. GPS navigation systems, external speakers, and anything else that can be removed should be removed from the car before transportation. The trunk should also contain essentials like a spare tire, your toolbox, and a first aid kit. Any other items that could add unnecessary weight to the vehicle should be removed to avoid extra charges.
• Run a maintenance check: This involves checking for any fluid leaks in the vehicle and ensuring the fluid levels are up to an optimum level. Also, check the tire pressure and note down the car mileage before shipping to compare it against after transportation.
• Drain the gas to only a quarter full: Gas adds to the car's weight. A full gas tank will cost you more to transport the vehicle. The car only needs enough gas to cover the loading and offloading phase, leaving a little to get to the next gas station available in the region. A quarter-full gas will do.
