Types of vehicles we ship

Some of the vehicles that we have shipped include:

  • Boats and yachts. Shipping a boat is not an easy task. You have to have the required equipment and an experienced workforce to pull it off. Luckily, we have both. Our boat shipping customers get to enjoy after sales services such as shrink-wrapping and winterization, customs clearance and validation and insurance on your boat.
  • Electric vehicles. Fast replacing their fossil fuel powered counterparts, electric vehicles are gaining popularity all over the world. They were once ridiculed for their queer looking designs and low range but companies such as Tesla have changed their whole outlook. Unlike most auto shippers who charge extra to ship them, we charge standard rates to those of an ordinary vehicle.
  • Jet skis. These vehicles come in different shapes and sizes. We are capable of accommodating any shape or size and shipping them to any location across the world. We will have you zipping across the ocean on your jet ski in no time.
  • Golf cart. These types of vehicles are quite a handful to transport. They require equipment such as forklifts to help load them on to the carriers. At A-1 Auto Transport, we are equipped and qualified to handle any number of golf carts. We will ensure that they are well protected and they reach their destination on-time.

How to prepare your car for the shipping process

Preparing your vehicle for shipping minimizes the chance of having delays or accidents. Some of the thing to do include:

  • Ensuring that your vehicle only has a quarter tank of gas to avoid being penalized for the extra weight.
  • Cleaning your vehicle and taking pictures of any damaged areas.
  • Removing any aftermarket installations and personal items to prevent them from getting damaged or being stolen.
  • Making extra copies of your car keys in case one pair gets lost.
  • Disabling your alarm system, toll tags, and parking passes.
  • Ensuring that your car is adequately serviced by a qualified mechanic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does car transport from Martinez cost?

Car transport Martinez pricing typically ranges from $500 to $1,200 for standard routes. Costs depend on distance, vehicle size, carrier type, season, and fuel prices. Short California routes may fall under $600, while cross-country shipments exceed $1,000. Busy Bay Area demand and I-680 corridor access can also affect pricing. For a detailed breakdown of rates and savings tips, review the car shipping rates guide.

How long does car shipping from Martinez, CA take?

Most shipments from Martinez take 2 to 7 days depending on distance and route efficiency. West Coast deliveries often complete in 2 to 4 days, while coast-to-coast transport averages 5 to 7 days. Timing depends on carrier availability, traffic in the Bay Area, weather conditions, and delivery scheduling. Martinez’s proximity to major highways like I-680 helps reduce delays, but peak seasons can extend timelines slightly.

Is door-to-door car transport available in Martinez?

Yes, door-to-door car shipping is widely available in Martinez and is the most common option. Carriers pick up and deliver your vehicle as close as safely possible to your address, though tight residential streets or HOA restrictions may require a nearby meeting point. This service saves time and minimizes handling. Learn how it works and what to expect with door-to-door auto transport.

Is my vehicle insured during car transport in Martinez?

Yes, all licensed carriers must carry insurance as regulated by the FMCSA. Coverage typically includes liability and cargo insurance, protecting against damage during transit. It’s important to review the carrier’s policy limits, usually between $100,000 and $250,000. You should also inspect your vehicle before pickup and document its condition. Additional coverage may be available for high-value vehicles.

What type of carrier is best for shipping a car from Martinez?

Most customers choose open carriers, which are cost-effective and widely available. For high-value, luxury, or classic vehicles, enclosed carriers offer added protection from weather and road debris. Your choice depends on budget, vehicle value, and exposure risk tolerance. In coastal California, enclosed transport is popular during rainy months or for premium vehicles. Explore protection options with enclosed car transport.

When is the best time to book car transport in Martinez, CA?

The best time to book is 1 to 2 weeks in advance for standard routes and 2 to 3 weeks during peak seasons like summer and snowbird months. Prices are generally lower in off-peak periods (fall and early spring). Booking early improves carrier availability and pricing flexibility. Martinez’s location near major Bay Area routes helps, but demand spikes can still impact timing and cost.
