How to Go About Enclosed Auto Shipping California?

California is one of the western U.S. states and is located between the Mexican borders and the Pacific. It stretches for almost 900 miles and has a rather versatile terrain that includes sandy beaches, redwood forests, mountains, and, of course, the Mojave Desert.

Keep in mind that regardless of whether you need to move vehicles across the state, internationally, or across the country itself, A-1 Auto Transport service will offer you convenient and hassle-free enclosed auto shipping to California. The enclosed car shipping option comes with an additional layer of protection.

Your vehicle is very important and you need to know that shipping can be rather overwhelming. This is especially true if you are doing it for the first time.

There are quite a few different advantages which stem from using the option of enclosed auto shipping to California but the most important one is that it delivers the highest amount of protection. The vehicle has a proper safeguard against weather conditions, debris, and rocks as you ship across cities but it’s also viewable directly from the driving cabin. Furthermore, an enclosed trailer provides you with a peace of mind that the vehicle won’t be unnecessarily touched or tampered with by unwanted passes during the process. If your vehicle is a rare one or a classic – this is incredibly important.

However, if you decide to get your vehicle to be insured privately, using a car shipping service is likely to decrease the amount of the premium. Insurance companies are informed enough to know that everything is safer with an enclosed container and that’s why they are going to respectively lower the amount of the premium. A lot of companies are actually going to provide discounts to shippers and customers who use enclosed trucks for vehicle shipping.

The cost of shipping

The following factors affect the cost of the transportation:

  • The time of the shipping
  • The distance of the transportation service between the pickup and delivery location
  • The method of shipping
  • Car shipping routes

There are companies such as the A-1 Auto Transport which are going to offer door-to-door methods, which means that your vehicle will be picked up from your doorstep and delivered wherever it is that you wish. If your vehicle is in a good condition and you will only have to pay for the gas price. However, if it’s not, you might want to let the car shipping company handle the entire transport itself.

General Facts

  • Enclosed auto transport is a method of transporting vehicles using specialized trailers that provide protection from external elements.
  • California is a popular destination for enclosed car transport due to its luxury car market and collector car events.
  • Enclosed carriers have fully enclosed sides, roofs, and floors, ensuring maximum protection for vehicles during transit.

Insurance Coverage

Now, the coverage is going to be nominal and it’s going to cover everything. Furthermore, if you want to get marine transport insurance, the rates are likely to be between 1.1% and 2.5% of the total cost of shipping. However, this is important to get because the regular insurance provided by shipping companies will only cover $500 worth of damages. The other type of insurance is total-loss-only insurance, which would provide you with the chance of getting the total value of the vehicle recovered in the event your vehicle disappears overboard.
