Automobile shipping through the port of Kaskaskia

Shipping cars to or from port of Kaskaskia is possible via the Kaskaskia River Port District (KRPD 1). This terminal is open to all shippers and has a roll-off/roll-on ramp. However, the port is far from oceans, making it inconvenient for international car shipping. Car shippers ship cars and heavy equipment to residents and the industrial companies in the port district by road. The port is also accessible by rail via the Canadian National Railroad.

Satisfied Customers

“I am meticulous when it comes to everything. At first, I was thinking of just driving all the way to Illinois from New Jersey. A friend recommended me to go to A1 Auto Transport and told me a lot of good things about them. I refused initially because I had filed a 4 day leave just to drive and visit my mother. But things did not go well. My boss asked me to cancel my leave because a very important client asked for an urgent meeting, and the manager could not attend to it. I was hopeless and took the risk of asking help from A1. The notice was short and I forgot I needed to inform them in advance. After a couple of hours, I received a call and they told me they found a way to book me with no extra fees. I am so thankful I got to attend to my work matters. I did not get to see my mother, but the vehicle and items inside it were in perfect condition as if it was me who took care of it. I owe you guys big time! I got one huge deal from our client.”

“It’s been a few months now since I’ve moved to Florida from Illinois after my career took a nice turn. I had to relocate for a new job, and let me tell you, moving isn’t my favourite thing in the world. All the planning and packing and calling people up to help you move a mountain of personal stuff across states have me doubting my capacity as an adult to handle pressure and endure stress. I don’t think anyone like me with a busy enough life juggling university and a demanding career would ever say moving is an exciting activity. That’s why I’ll be forever thankful to A1 Auto Transport for making my life a hell of a lot easier during the move. I’d never had to worry about rearranging my schedule because of some hang-ups or delays, or getting screwed over for a costly service that damaged both my pocket and my car. It made me think of all those horror stories of people who ran into some bad luck with transporters damaging their most prized possessions after waiting for days on end with hundreds of dollars wasted. I felt really relieved that I didn’t become one of those people when I opted to go with A1 Auto Transport. Along with relocating to Florida for a cool job offer, working with A1 was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made.”

“For one reason or another, shipping a car between states makes me a bit worried. Using another company prior to A1 Auto Transport which left a huge scratch on my car didn’t help ease my trust issues either. The quote Joe gave me wasn’t the lowest on my list (I did a ton of research this time), but I was less interested in getting a deal as I was in getting my car to Illinois safely. I paid a deposit after he picked up my car. By that point, it was in his hands. I was glad he called so much during transport. He must’ve felt I was stressed out by the whole experience. Fortunately, my worries were for nothing. This company pulled through and brought my car as I left it. Thank you Joe!”

“I must say after looking at the Better Business Bureau prior to moving my vehicle with you I was aprehensive. I noticed 67 complaints in the last 12 months. When I called John in your office to discuss this he informed me that "Yes, we do have 67 complaints, but we moved over 13,000 vehicles last year and that is less than 1/2% complaint rate" Well John, you managed to exceed my expectations! The A1 team delivered on time and without a scratch. Thank you once again for all your help.”

“I called Joe a couple times, but he did not answer. 15 minutes later he returned my call apologizing and explaining he was speaking to another client. I asked him a few questions and requested a quote. While waiting for it, I called 2 more companies, so I’d have more options. The quote arrived by email a short time afterwards with a lot of details which convinced me we were speaking the same language. Because of this, I choose them to ship my Honda to Arkansas. Although one of the other quotes was $100 cheaper, the company seemed less reliable, and I didn’t want to risk it. A1 Auto Transport did a flawless job moving my baby, and from beginning to end, I had no complaints. It arrived a few hours earlier than promised in the exact condition I left it.”
