Using Columbia Vehicle Transport Companies

Realistic Expectations - A lot goes into having a car moved. Things like weather, road closures and even other customers can cause delays in the process. It’s important to keep this in mind when hiring a professional car shipper. Unfortunately, delays do happen but you do have the option of having your vehicle moved by itself, which greatly reduces delays.
Terminal Shipping Is Cheaper - You’ll read a lot about door to door auto transport from any company that offers the service, but don’t forget that it’s just one option--and the more expensive one. If you have a car dropped off at a local terminal and pick it up yourself, you’ll save yourself some money. But don’t forget that terminals charge for storage!
Ask About Gasoline Limits - Professional auto movers typically ask that you have only a small amount of gas in the tank before having your car or truck moved. This saves them money because of the reduced rate, which in turn saves you money. Some companies ask no more than 1/8 of a tank of gas, others may allow up to 1/4 tank. The only way to be sure is to ask!

Satisfied Customers

“Our car was delivered here in New York just eight days after it was picked up in Palo Alto, California. This is its second transcontinental trip with A-1 and I think you've done a terrific job. Thank you, Howard Epstein, NYC”

“I had difficulties in providing the details online, so I decided to call A1 Auto Transport's hotline. I’m an old lady and I needed someone to guide me on how to ship my vehicle. A1 did not take advantage of my age in processing the transaction. My husband was surprised I was able to send him our 1999 Mercedes Benz to Maryland in the exact condition as before it left our vacation house. It was a memorable vehicle, his anniversary gift to me. I am delighted by the staff of A1 Auto Transport. I wish you more years, so you could assist old people like me.”

Perfect! Thank you

“After calling and texting a bunch of companies, it was a gentleman by the name of Joe who finally clarified what the transport industry’s all about. He explained the process in simple terms, and answered all my questions in short, clear answers. I chose his company, A1 Auto Transport to move my car to Utah. He didn’t disappoint. My ford was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail! The professionalism and passion you put into this work really shines through everything you do, from that first call to the transportation itself. Bonus points for always answering the phone and staying in touch during the transport. Good work!”

Good work!

“A1 Auto Transport is a company that moves cars, motorcycle, and even boats across the country, as well as internationally. They’re very professional, polite, and have a ton of experience. Moving my Honda to Michigan proved to be a breeze. I was worried I’d be delayed due to the weather, but winter doesn’t seem to hinder A1. They probably take it into account, as both the pickup and the arrival time window were respected. There were no delays, and worries about using an open carrier were for nothing. I chose the cheaper option to transport my car, but the service was just as good. I’d do it again. I highly recommend this company. If you have to more a car, they’re the best there is.”

I highly recommend this company

★★★★★

“Since it was my first move, I fell straight into a transportation scam on my first try. I paid a deposit to a supposed company, but nobody ever came to pick up the car. I learned my lesson, and searched the internet for every company I could find. I looked through reviews, read their sites, eliminated the ones who seemed suspicious, and finally settled on A1 Auto Transport. Joe understood my position and skepticism immediately and spared no effort to reassure me. I don’t know about the rest, but this company is legit. They picked up my car on Friday, November 7th at 1 pm and delivered it to New Mexico on November 10 in the morning. The entire team was very friendly and professional. Thank you for all your help!”
