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. You can get your private car shipped with A-1 Auto Transport, the best carrier firm for shipping cars to or from Pacifica.

Auto transport services we provide
- Open carrier services:Â Open carriers are the default long hauls that we use when shipping different types of cars. They come with flatbed racks, onto which the cars are loaded for shipping. 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:Â 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: A-1 Auto Transport has the resources to ship your boat or yacht to Pacifica for the ultimate vacation experience. We offer different boat and yacht shipping services including shrink wrapping, Roll On, Roll Off shipping, Overland boat shipping and international yacht shipping services.

How to prepare your car for shipping
- 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’s inspection. The driver examines the car’s condition before shipping and drafts a report which details the car’s true shade and any pre-existing damages. Such details may get obscured by dirt, 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 shipping for comparison with the car’s mileage after shipping.
- 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.
