Auto Transport Services in Crescent City

Safe And Reliable Crescent City Car Shipping Services By A-1 Auto Transport

Crescent City is named for the crescent-shaped stretch of the sandy beach to the south of it. It lies on the Pacific Coast, where it enjoys rich fishing grounds. The Crescent City Harbor is the largest port for commercial fishing vessels in Del Norte County. Additionally, it is a major tourist destination due to its warm temperatures all year round. Surfing, wind surfing, beach games, jet skiing and sunbathing among other activities draw tourists from across the state and beyond. The Battery Point Lighthouse and the Del Norte County Historical Society Main Museum are some of the attraction sites that guests visiting Crescent City get to enjoy. The city, however, has a complex public transport system that would interfere with your tour. A-1 Auto Transport offers to ship your private car for you during your visit. Our prices are the best you’ll get when shipping cars to or from Crescent City.

Areas we serve within Crescent City

A-1 Auto Transport invests time and resources in getting familiar with the profile of Crescent City. Knowing the road network serving the city, the location of possible terminal points and the location of every community allows us to better serve you. We use this information to tailor the car shipping experience for every client we serve across every location when shipping cars to or from Crescent City. We also stretch our scope of service to the neighboring cities, which include Happy Camp, Brookings and all communities in the Humboldt Bay.

Auto transport services we provide

• Open carrier services: Open carriers come with single or double decked flatbed racks. We secure the cars onboard the racks using straps and ship them as they are. The cars are left slightly exposed to the external environment, but they are still completely safe from damage. Should the client wish, they can use shrink wrapping to keep off dust and rain. Open carriers can accommodate XL autos like RVs and motorhomes, making it a general-use option regardless of the type of car you have. Additionally, open carriers can accommodate about 4 to 8 cars, which makes multi-car shipping affordable.
• Enclosed carrier services: Enclosed carriers come with an intermodal container which offers both privacy and extra protection to the car. They are however, more expensive to hire compared to open carriers. We recommend using enclosed carriers when shipping high-end cars. Such flashy and costly cars stand to gain more from the extra protection and privacy.
• Jet ski shipping: If Jet Skiing tickles your fancy, consider our affordable Jet Ski shipping service. You get to choose between open and enclosed shipping. We have the resources to ship jet skis across different states. Additionally, should you wish to ship multiple jet skis, we offer great discounts.

Types of cars we ship

We transport electric cars, motorcycles, RVs & motorhomes, SUVs, sedans, inoperable cars, ATVs, salvaged cars, trucks and heavy equipment.

How to prepare your car for shipping

• Remove all personal belongings: The in-transit insurance policy only covers the car from damage or theft. All other items in the car, including aftermarket installations, are not viable for compensation. Also, remove all unnecessary heavy items from the trunk. The weightier the car the higher the cost of shipping it.
• Wash the car: A clean car reveals more details about its true shade and any pre-existing damage. Such details are important when drafting a car hauler’s inspection report, as the carrier firm uses this to identify any damages that they are liable for.
• Run a car maintenance check: Ensure there are no fluid leaks present. Thereafter, fill the fluids up to their recommended levels. Additionally, ensure all tires are properly inflated and the car battery is sufficiently charged. This is important as it minimizes the chances of the car running into mechanical issues during transportation.
• Take photos: It is important to have a personal record of the car’s condition before shipping. Take clear photos of every side of the car. You can compare these with the car’s condition after shipping to identify any damages that the carrier firm is liable for.
• Leave about a quarter-full tank of gas: A full tank of gas makes the car heavier, which in turn, leads to a higher shipping fee. A quarter-full tank of gas, however, is enough to cover the loading and offloading of the car.
