Pacifica Car Shipping Services You Can Rely On

Pacifica is a favorite destination for many dwellers of the Bay Area. Its strategic location along the stretch of hills and coastal beaches in north California presents a wide variety of attractions. Rockaway Beach is one such scenic destination known for surfing, beach sports, boating, dining, and shopping activities. The Pacifica Skateboard Park on the other hand offers the largest skateboarding grounds in California. The beaches and bluffs along San Pedro Valley County Park and Mori Point offer ample hiking grounds. Additionally, located near the pacific shoreline of Pacifica is Sharp Park Golf Course, a renowned golf course which hosts major events like the U.S. Open golf tournament. A visit to Pacifica, however, requires a private car as the public transport system could get too complicated for guests to use.

Services We Provide

vehicles loaded on the back

Open carrier services: Open carriers are the default long distance carriers that we use when relocating different types of cars. They come with flatbed racks, onto which the cars are loaded for hauling. There is no enveloping structure covering the car. This leaves the cars slightly exposed to the external environment, but not to danger. Should a client wish, they have the option of throwing shrink wrapping over the car to keep rain and dust off.

Enclosed carrier services: Enclosed carriers come with an intermodal container which offers extra protection to the cars, against elements like small rocks, tree branches and adverse weather conditions that may damage the car. Such carriers, are however, costly to acquire. We recommend using such when shipping high-end vehicles. The intermodal container also offers privacy, a much needed factor when shipping flashy high-end cars like Rolls Royce and Lamborghinis.

Boat and yacht shipping: We have the resources to ship your boat or yacht to Pacifica for the ultimate vacation experience. We offer different boat and yacht services including shrink wrapping, Roll On, Roll Off shifting, Overland boat relocation and international shifting services. Among the types of boats we relocate are sailboats, motorboats, fishing boats, canoes, dinghies, water rafts and even jet skis. Get all the information you would need about this great service here.

Type of Vehicles We Relocate

We transport electric & hybrid cars, RVs & motorhomes, salvaged cars, inoperable cars, high-end cars, sedans, SUVs, trucks, vans, motorcycles, heavy equipment and boats of different sizes.

How to prepare your vehicle for shifting?

  • Remove all personal belongings: Goods that are deemed ‘of household nature' such as clothing, electronics and appliances are prohibited from being transported inside any car. Additionally, remove any aftermarket installations like DVD players, external speakers and GPS navigation systems as they are not covered under the in-transit insurance policy.
  • Wash the car: Before any car is loaded onto a carrier, it undergoes a thorough car hauler inspection. The driver examines the car's condition before shipping and drafts a report detailing the car's true shade and any pre-existing damages. Dirt may obscure such details, rendering the report unreliable.
  • Run a car maintenance check: Ensure there are no fluid leaks present and thereafter, fill up the fluids to their required levels. Also have a look at the car battery and have it charged if need be. Additionally, ensure all tires are properly inflated and take note of the car's mileage before relocating for comparison with the car's mileage after hauling.
  • Leave about a quarter-full tank of gas: Cars under transport are not subjected to gas-demanding movements. A quarter-full tank of gas is sufficient to cover such movements and even leave enough to cover the distance to the nearest gas station if you require a refill.

Shipping a car to or from Pacifica, California, involves several considerations to ensure a smooth and cost-effective experience. Here's what you need to know:

Local Terrain and Access Challenges

Pacifica's unique coastal terrain, characterized by narrow, winding roads and hilly neighborhoods, can pose challenges for large transport carriers. Areas like Vallemar and Park Pacifica may have limited access for oversized trucks, potentially requiring alternative arrangements such as meeting at nearby open spaces or utilizing smaller shuttle vehicles for final delivery. Discussing these specifics with your transport provider to ensure seamless pickup and drop-off logistics is advisable.

Weather Considerations

The coastal climate in Pacifica often brings fog and moisture, which can affect transport schedules and vehicle condition upon arrival. While open carriers are cost-effective, they expose vehicles to the elements. If you're transporting a high-value or classic car, opting for enclosed transport can provide added protection against weather-related wear and tear.

Timing and Scheduling

Pacifica's proximity to major urban centers like San Francisco means traffic congestion can impact transport timelines, especially during peak hours. Planning pickups and deliveries during off-peak times can help avoid delays. Additionally, booking your transport well in advance is recommended, particularly during busy seasons, to secure preferred dates and rates.

By considering these local factors and working closely with your chosen auto transport company, you can ensure a smooth and efficient car shipping experience in and out of Pacifica, California.
