Using Lake Charles Vehicle Transport Companies

When you are looking to book Lake Charles car transport services, keep a few key tips in mind:

Inspect your vehicle closely: Once you submit it for transport, the company is liable for any damages the vehicle may sustain. However, should you accept your vehicle upon delivery without checking it and allow the representative to drive off without complaining of any damage, the company is no longer liable.
Ask to see proof of insurance: The transport company in question might say they have it, but until you see proof, you can’t be sure. Always ask for proof of insurance from the transport company before signing a contract.
Inquire about the experience of the driver: If you are having your vehicle personally driven by the transport company, ask about the experience of the driver. It is important that the person is qualified to drive over a long distance to get your car moved.

Satisfied Customers

“The first time I used A1 Auto Transport was when I had to get an Audi to Louisiana from New York. I had no problem with the communication. It went smoothly. Every question I had was answered on the sport, with no beating around the bush and thoroughly. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should call Joe, so we communicated over text and email until I built up the courage. Even then, he would reply to my questions almost immediately. He sent one of his trucks to my home. It arrived in just 2 days, and the driver was just as professional. Joe also dropped by to make sure everything went smoothly. He encouraged me to call him whenever I needed, which I did, perhaps a bit too often. The driver also stayed in touch, sending me regular updates on the shipment’s progress. They allowed me to choose the location for the drop off, so I didn’t have to travel at all to pick it up. My car was in perfect condition, and it’s all thanks to their team effort. As far as customer experience goes, this is some of the best I’ve ever had.”

Great customer experience

★★★★★

“This is the real deal! A lot of people I know have been telling me A1 Auto Transport is very impressive in terms of quality of service. I was furious about the wrong quotation that was sent to my email, but after letting them know about it, they immediately called and clarified all the mishaps. I was ready to escalate the issue, but they seemed genuine in their apology and efforts, so I forgave them. Everyone from A1 Auto Transport took ownership of my issues. Impressive! They took good care of my Mini Cooper and got it to Louisiana on time. No amount of money could replace their great customer service!”

This is the real deal!

“A couple months ago, while on a vacation to Massachusetts, I finally found a car I was looking for. It took me over a year to find it, but after speaking to the seller and 20 minutes of negotiating, it was finally mine. Now, I just had to get it back home to New York. Easier said than done. Fortunately, after searching the web for an hour, I found A1 Auto Transport, a reputable company who seemed to be what I was looking for. Dealing with them was surprisingly easy. I spoke to Joe and got an estimate quite fast. I had a million questions, ranging from the reasonable, like “How much does it cost” to a few that pushed the limit, like “is the driver an alcoholic.” Joe was patient enough to ease my worries. One of his trucks was schedule to drop by Massachusetts in a couple of days, and it was there at the agreed upon time. I barraged the driver with a dozen more questions, to which he replied calmly, though a bit surprised. He took a spin around my brand new car, checked for any scratches and was surprised to not find any. I gave him a wink and told him to take special care of it. This he did. When I met him to pick the car up, it was exactly as I saw it when it boarded the truck. You have my gratitude!”

Getting a car to New York

“Not sure what to do? Then, definitely go for A1 Auto Transport. I tried over 15 transportation companies and brokers to get my car going to New Mexico. I wasn’t exactly a pro at this, so yea, I was skeptical. It tempted me to avoid A1 Auto Transport to save some cash, but after I found out what that brought some of my friends, I chose otherwise. I trusted my instinct, and I was right! It should have taken about 3 days for my car to be picked up according to the contract, but they were at my doorstep after just 1. My Honda was also supposed to arrive in New Mexico in about 10 days, and I got it in 8. Kudos to the driver! He updated us all the time and always answered the phone. Great service!”

I trusted my instinct, and I was right!

“Just wanted to say thanks for the extra effort to get the car delivered in time for my daughter's birthday! Thanks again, - Mark E.”
