Using New York City Vehicle Transport Companies

Long Distance Auto Transport to/from New York City

Although many people try to transport their vehicles on their own when moving within the same state, most choose auto transportation services for longer distances. Besides the convenience and time saving aspect of such services, clients often find the price is either similar or lower than when using the DIY method.

This is because when driving the car alone or when you’re having a friend drive it for you, you’re taking on the entire cost of the trip, including the cost of repairs in case your car wears down. You have to pay for gas, hotel bills, food, etc.

On the other hand, when using an auto transport company, the price is split across multiple clients. Although the company does add a bit on top as their payment for the service, since there are up to a dozen vehicles shipped at a time, the price each owner has to pay is surprisingly low.

Shipping Luxury and Classic Cars in New York City

Most auto transportation in the USA is handled with an open carrier, since the service is cheaper for both the client and the company. However, luxury and classic cars require special attention.  When even a scratch on your automobile is unacceptable, then only our white glove service will do.

A1 auto transport has a specialized team prepared for such situations. We respond to your project with modern enclosed carriers that not only strap the car in place so it doesn’t move and hit into something, but also protect it from anything that might try to hit it.

Special Discounts in New York City

Are you part of the military, a senior, or a student far away from home? If you need your vehicle but are lacking in money, don’t worry. You meet the criteria for our special discounts. Call now to get a reduced price on your shipment.

International Shipping to/from New York City

While A1 auto transport’s main focus is our shipping services in the United States, we also operate abroad. We can even assist you with preparing the paperwork for your international shipping.

However, there are a few things you will have to prepare, such as the sale bill of the car, its registration, the lading bill, your visa or ID, etc. Our personnel will guide you if you call. Since international shipping is a lengthier process than local transportation, it’s best to start it as soon as possible.
