Auto Transport Services in Lavaca

Safe And Reliable Lavaca Car Shipping Services By A-1 Auto Transport

Lavaca is a small city that lies a few miles east of Fort Smith, the second-largest city in Arkansas. It takes about 21 minutes to move from one end of the city to the other and with such a tiny population, the time can only get shorter. You may choose to make it a stopover on your expedition in the south, just like the people credited with setting up the first settlements. It is easier to move around by private car and more affordable to use A-1 Auto Transport when shipping cars to or from Lavaca.

Enclosed shipping is the most secure way to move a high-end vehicle from one end to the other. It shields the car from inclement weather and other outside forces that may cause damage. It is the way to go when you want to receive the automobile in the same shape that you sent it. Open-air shipping is a better idea when you have a limited budget and an urgent deadline to beat. Exposed trucks are the most commonly used options for shipping cars to or from Lavaca. Here is what you need to know about the open-air option from A-1 Auto Transport.

• We use a twin-deck trailer, which has room for 8-12 cars on a trip. The truck will not give protection from the elements.
• There are different rates for loading the vehicle on the top deck. Your car cannot use the deck if it leaks fluid.

Terminal shipping is an affordable delivery option if you have enough time on your hands. You will drop off or pick up the car at an appointed transportation depot. Finding your way to the nearest shipping terminal is not an easy task if you are new to the state. We can take care of the legwork and deliver the vehicle to your residence. Find out if the delivery truck can fit in your neighborhood streets as you settle for the door-to-door service. There are a varied set of options for anyone moving their cars to a different country. Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) is the most affordable transport standard while containerized shipping can help to secure your vehicle.

Types of vehicles that we ship

We have world-class transport solutions for standard cars, boats, trucks, SUVs, commercial equipment, electric cars, motorcycles, and more.

How to prepare your car for shipping

Remove personal items because:

• The DOT might confiscate the items at the checkpoints.
• The transport company might get fined or delayed on the trip.
• They can cause damage to the vehicle’s interior.
• They could be stolen or lost during transportation.

You should remove all your personal effects because you will not get insurance protection on the same. Take it through a thorough maintenance check, making sure that there are no leaking fluids and mechanical problems. Top-off all the fluids, keep the battery on a full charge and make sure that you have well-inflated tires. Remove the detachable parts on the exterior. Cover the other loose parts that you find hard to remove. Wash the vehicle and detail all the blemishes, dents, and scratches. Use a camera to take dated photographs that capture the existing state of the car. Do not fuel up the vehicle for the trip. The trucker will not need a lot of fuel to load or unload the vehicle. Too much gas will add unnecessary weight to the car. Ask the transport company about the auto shipping insurance. They should share a copy of the policy document. A good cover should protect your vehicle at the full replacement value. Disable the alarm system, prepare a spare set of keys, and if the car has special operating needs, note them down and share this with the truck driver.
