Types of vehicles we ship

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?
As of August 16, 2026, car transport in Martinez typically runs $600-$900 under 500 miles, $800-$1,300 for 500-1,500 miles, and $1,100-$1,800 beyond 1,500 miles for an operable car on open transport. Exact quotes move with route popularity, vehicle size, operability, trailer type, and season; A1's car shipping rates guide explains the main price inputs. Enclosed transport and oversized or non-running vehicles normally price above these planning bands. A live route quote is still the right figure to use for booking.
How long does car shipping from Martinez, CA take?
After pickup, car shipping from Martinez typically takes 1-3 days under 500 miles, 3-6 days for 500-1,500 miles, and 7-10 days for cross-country moves. That loaded-transit clock starts when the carrier has the vehicle, not when you place the order. Weather, traffic, route changes, and federal driver-hour limits can shift delivery within the estimate. When planning a move, confirm both the pickup window and the loaded-transit window so you do not treat them as the same timeframe.
Is door-to-door car transport available in Martinez?
Yes, door-to-door car transport is available in Martinez, but pickup means the closest legal, safe place a large carrier can reach. A1's door-to-door auto transport service follows that closest-access approach. Martinez publishes designated truck routes under MMC 10.56.040, including Alhambra Avenue from Marina Vista to Highway 4 and Center/Pine Street from Howe Road to Highway 4. If your exact street is unsuitable for safe loading, the driver can arrange a nearby meeting point with enough room for the truck and vehicle inspection.
What type of carrier is best for shipping a car from Martinez?
For most everyday vehicles shipped to or from Martinez, open transport is the practical default because it is more widely available and usually costs less than enclosed service. A1's enclosed auto transport options are better suited to classic, exotic, luxury, low-clearance, or other high-value vehicles when extra shielding from weather and road debris matters. Enclosed service can also have fewer available trucks, so scheduling flexibility may be lower. Choose based on the vehicle's value and protection needs, not simply the distance.
Is my vehicle insured during car transport in Martinez?
Yes. A1 verifies the assigned carrier's insurance before transport, but you should still confirm the cargo limit, deductible, and exclusions that apply to your vehicle. The auto transport insurance guide explains what to review on the Certificate of Insurance. Federal rules require many for-hire interstate property carriers using vehicles of 10,001 pounds or more to maintain at least $750,000 in public liability for nonhazardous property, but that is not cargo coverage for your car. FMCSA's filing rules do not establish a universal $100,000-$250,000 auto-cargo limit.
When is the best time to book car transport in Martinez, CA?
For standard car transport from Martinez, book about two weeks before your first available pickup date; during summer or snowbird peaks, allow 2-4 weeks when possible. That lead time gives the broker more room to match a carrier without turning a preferred date into a promise. Last-minute moves can still be possible, but availability and price may be less flexible. Before booking, confirm the actual pickup window separately from the delivery estimate.
