Services Offered

a red truck

We have reliable domestic and international solutions to give you a hassle-free experience as you move your vehicle. The enclosed option makes sure that your classic and luxury ones are handled with the highest efficiency, courtesy, and safety measures. The fleet responsible for hauling uses modern equipment such as hydraulic lift gates and air-compressed suspension to keep them safe from damage. Open-air remains the first choice for many movers. It is the best solution when you have a standard car that you use regularly. You do not want to dig deeper into your pockets moving such an auto. Keeping it in good shape for driving helps in lowering the costs. You might have to consider the terminal method if you have a pressing budget. It works better where you live near the major towns and cities in your state. You will find a convenient depot/terminal where you will drop off/pick up the vehicle. Door-to-door means collecting it from any given point and delivering it to your residence. It is the most convenient delivery option that you will find when moving. On a global scale, A1-AT offers some of the safest and most affordable solutions.

  • Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) uses a rolling (driving/wheeling) system to load and unload it on the vessel. Our partner vessels have wide decks that can fit different sizes of automobiles in large numbers. Some can carry as many as 6000 autos in one trip.
  • Containers can help to protect your expensive motorcars from potential damage while in transit. You can choose from two options depending on your needs. Since the price of a container stays the same, you may find it cheaper to go for the shared one. Using one exclusively helps when you need to move personal effects along with it.

Autos that We Haul

A-1 Auto Transport offers the most comprehensive moving services solutions for all types of vehicles. We can handle standard motorcars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, SUVs, classics, luxury cars, boats, yachts, jet skis, cranes, project cargo, and heavy plant equipment.

How to Prepare For Delivery

We recommend that you keep it free of personal items and remove the aftermarket accessories like DVD players, GPS, speakers, and stereo systems. The insurance policy will not cover losses or damage caused because of leaving them in your auto. While it is not a standard requirement, cleaning the vehicle goes a long way in making sure that you get a smooth inspection process. Walk around it and record all the existing chips, dents, and scratches. Use a camera to take dated photographs and add them to your report. As you seek your quote, the mover may ask about the condition. It is cheaper to deliver a running auto because it needs little handling equipment. The following steps will help you to keep it in the best shape for hauling:

  • Leave about 1/4 of the gas in the tank so that the driver can drive it on the truck when loading/unloading.
  • Top off the brake fluid, engine oil, and transmission fluid. provide high-quality service
  • Fix any visible leaks present on it.
  • Use a fully charged battery and well-inflated tires.
  • Get the mechanical problems fixed.
  • Check if the braking system works properly.

Check the local Department of Transportation (DOT) to learn more about the regulations on moving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship a car from Emeryville, California?

As of August 23, 2026, typical open-carrier planning ranges from Emeryville are about $600-$1,000 for trips under 500 miles, $900-$1,400 for roughly 500-1,500 miles, and $1,400-$2,400 for cross-country moves. Vehicle size, operability, enclosed service, shipment dates, and exact pickup access can move a quote outside those bands. Longer routes generally cost more overall even though the price per mile may fall. A1's car shipping rates guide explains the main quote inputs.

How long does car shipping from Emeryville, CA take?

Loaded transit from Emeryville usually runs about 1-3 days for trips under 500 miles, 3-6 days for roughly 500-1,500 miles, and 6-10 days for cross-country routes. Pickup scheduling happens before that transit period and should be treated separately. Bay Area traffic, weather farther along the route, required driver stops, and difficult delivery access can change the estimate. Your carrier should confirm the pickup window and expected delivery range before loading rather than treating either date as guaranteed.

Is door-to-door car shipping available in Emeryville?

Yes, door-to-door car shipping is available in Emeryville, but a large carrier may need a nearby legal meeting point when it cannot safely stop at your address. Emeryville's truck-activity guidance identifies Hollis Street, San Pablo Avenue, and 40th Street as designated truck routes that can help with access planning. The city also prohibits stopping or parking within 20 feet of most crosswalk approaches and 15 feet where there is a curb extension. A1's door-to-door auto transport service explains how alternate meeting points work.

Should I choose open or enclosed auto transport in Emeryville?

Open transport is usually the better fit for a standard daily driver, while enclosed transport makes more sense for a classic, exotic, high-value, or very low-clearance vehicle. Open carriers are more widely available and generally cost less. Enclosed trailers reduce exposure to rain, dirt, and road debris, but their price premium varies substantially by route and carrier availability. Compare both services for the same vehicle and dates before deciding. A1's enclosed auto transport guide explains the equipment and protection differences.

How do I prepare my car for shipping from Emeryville?

Prepare your car for Emeryville pickup by removing loose personal items, documenting the exterior with clear photos, and leaving about one-quarter tank of fuel. Make sure the battery is charged, the tires are properly inflated, alarms are disabled, and the driver has a working key. Tell the transporter beforehand about leaks, mechanical problems, low ground clearance, or modifications that affect loading. At pickup, review the vehicle's condition with the driver and keep a copy of the signed Bill of Lading.

How do I choose a car shipping company in Emeryville?

Choose an Emeryville car shipping company by checking its federal registration before relying on ratings alone. For interstate transport, FMCSA says brokers and carriers must be registered; brokers have an MC number, while motor carriers also receive a USDOT number that you can verify in federal records. Then compare recent reviews, written quote terms, cancellation rules, and which carrier will actually transport the vehicle. If a website does not clearly identify whether the business is a broker or carrier or hides its registration information, keep looking.

Brandon Pierce
Everything stayed well coordinated
★★★★★

They did a really good job shipping my car from New York down to Texas. Communication stayed consistent the whole way through, and I always knew what was going on with my transport. Because of the size of the truck, I had to meet the driver nearby instead of directly at my place, but it was handled smoothly and without any hassle. 

Monica Torres
Big move worked out great
★★★★★

This company helped me get a really great deal shipping my car across the country from California to Georgia while I was moving for school. Pickup and delivery both went smoothly, and the driver was kind, patient, and kept me updated throughout the process. I appreciated how helpful everyone was from start to finish because making a move like that can honestly feel overwhelming. I definitely plan to use them again when I head back to CA someday.

I was referred here by my brother after he used them a couple times before, and I’m glad I listened. I got a better rate than several other places I checked, and my SUV was scheduled for pickup from Chicago pretty quickly. The pickup itself was easy, pictures were taken before transport, and my Range Rover made it to Los Angeles in only 4 days which honestly surprised me. I stayed in touch with the driver by text during the trip, which made the whole thing feel more comfortable.

Maggie Collins
Worth the wait overall
★★★★★

The service was efficient and reasonably priced shipping my car from Reno to Boston. They didn’t lock in a driver until close to my latest pickup date, so I was definitely nervous for a bit, but they came through. I also appreciated that dispatch explained how I could save money by meeting the carrier outside my small town instead of paying for the extra distance.
