Long Distance Auto Transport to/from Chesapeake

The longer the distance, the more you’ll have to pay to get your car to a new location. This is the case for both the DIY method and for auto transport services.

Fuel costs increase proportionally to the length of the trip. If the journey cannot be finished in a day, you must consider accommodation and food costs as well.

The difference between doing it yourself and hiring an auto transport company lies in who supports all these costs. When driving the car yourself, you are responsible for the entire cost of the trip. You’re also responsible for the safety of your vehicle and of yourself.

When hiring a professional service, the price of fuel, accommodation, etc. is split between all the car owners using that same service. Our carriers can ship up to 12 cars at a time, so it’s no surprise our services are sometimes cheaper than DIY.

Also, the responsibility for the car and the driver’s safety lies with the company. Your automobile is insured during the trip. So, when you recover it, if you notice any bumps, scratches or damage of any kind, you can report them and recover your losses.

A1 auto transport simplifies the process by enabling the entire planning part to be discussed over the phone and by taking responsibility for everything else from your shoulders.
