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

It was founded in the 1830s. Unfortunately, Oak Park was not incorporated until 1902. By then, it already enjoyed a population boom from the workers who settled in the region because the real estate property prices in Downtown Chicago was too high. The village is steeped in history as Ernest Hemingway, Frank Lloyd Wright, Betty White and Ray Kroc at one time or the other, lived here. Today, there are about 51,000 residents of Oak Park. This can be considered lower than the population peaked in the 1940s where it hit 60,000.

Do not ever deal with a contractor without reading the insurance certificate. Under the law, they are required to offer liability insurance, but the terms of the cargo insurance vary depending on the company. It is best that you contact your insurance provider, especially if you are shipping a vintage car or a luxury car which is hard to replace. Some car transport companies also offer additional insurance if you think the minimum set by law is insufficient to cover the real value of your car.

Another thing to consider is the fleet of the car shipping company. The wrong mode of transport to deliver your car to Oak Park will expose your car to unnecessary risks. Vintage car, for instance, should be delivered in an enclosed van to prevent it from being vandalized, hit by pebbles or rocks and exposed to the harmful elements.
