Transit Providers

Snowbirds

Hemet has long been a destination for snowbirds and seasonal travelers from different parts of the country. Because of its hot summers and mild winters, it's an ideal place to get away from the snow of colder winter climates. Many moving firms cater to snowbirds by offering discounts during certain times of the year, or a price break for booking a roundtrip car load. If the notion of driving your RV halfway across the country and towing a vehicle behind it makes you uneasy, hiring a carrier is something you might want to consider. Not all transporters are going to be able to move a motorhome or RV, so make sure it's a service they offer before getting a cost estimate from a company.

Hybrid & Electric Cars

With the gaining momentum of alternative fuel vehicles, shippers have begun to cater to owners of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). At A-1 Auto Transport, many of our repeat customers are owners of electric vehicles, citing the difficulty in finding charging stations along the way during longer trips as a key reason. While the fuel capacity of electric motors has increased considerably with more gains expected shortly, the current limits on driving distance also make it difficult to make long-distance and cross-country trips. In terms of the process of transit, there's not much difference between moving a standard vehicle and an electric one. However, it's still advisable to seek out a company with experience moving PEVs if you need an electric or hybrid dispatched stress-free.

Price Shopping

Depending on how far you need your ride moved it can be a big investment, not to mention that you're trusting a firm with the care of your vehicle a big investment in its own right. The way to find the best service at an affordable price is, like with anything else, shopping around and doing some price comparison. It's advisable to contact between three to five haulers before settling on one. When you contact transit businesses, you're looking for signs of experience, expertise, and customer service. They should be able to answer all your questions, provide proof of insurance and licensing, and generally, give you the impression that they are qualified professionals. Be cautious of automatically accepting the lowest price you're offered. Saving money is always a good thing, but if one quote is drastically lower than all the others, that's usually a bad sign.

Lynn Emma
Showed up quick and helped
★★★★★

I called for help with transporting a trailer and they were quick to respond. They got it to my place in Hemet without any issues, and honestly didn’t just drop it off and leave. The driver stayed and helped me get everything balanced, even in the heat, which he really didn’t have to do. I appreciated that extra effort. I’d definitely use A1 Auto Transport again.

Chris Jack
Smooth cross-country shipping
★★★★★

I’ve used this shipping service twice now to move my car across the country and back. Prices were really good and I didn’t run into any problems with the carriers. My last delivery went from Vegas to the East Coast pretty fast, which impressed me. Lisa answered my questions and explained how pickup and delivery would work. Overall it was a very smooth process.

Kevin Smiley
First time shipping went well
★★★★★

This was my first time shipping a vehicle and it actually went better than I expected. Communication was solid from start to finish, and anytime I had questions about the process or payment, they got back to me quickly. I was given the driver’s info and he kept me updated on pickup and delivery times. Everything felt pretty straightforward and professional.

Nick Harper
Always fast and reliable
★★★★★

I’ve been using this company last few years and had around five vehicles shipped through them so far. They consistently get me good rates, quick pickups, and fast delivery. My most recent shipment came from Texas to California, picked up the same day and even arrived earlier than expected in an enclosed carrier. I usually ship higher-end cars, so I pay attention to how they’re handled, and they’ve always done a great job. I’m sticking with them long term.
