Located just 30 miles from Chicago, Joliet is a darling of the region, as it allows young professionals plenty of opportunity without forcing them to pay the Windy City’s astronomical rent prices. Though you can take a train into Chicago, the city of Joliet itself is quite spread out and will require a car to navigate. Have your vehicle shipped to you with the help of A-1 Auto Transport.

Using Joliet Vehicle Transport Companies
When you are looking to book Joliet car transport services, keep a few key tips in mind:
- Ask plenty of questions when booking transport: This gives you a chance to determine whether or not a company is the right fit for you, outside of the price they are quoting for transport.
- Read the contract in detail: You don’t want to sign a contract that has a lot of caveats that you were not expecting, nor do you want to be responsible for a slew of hidden fees you never knew existed. Avoid this by reading the contract in its entirety before signing.
- Ask about accepted forms of payment: When the transport company drops off your vehicle, they might not accept anything other than cash. This is something for which you might want to be prepared before scheduling your drop-off.
