Using Portland Vehicle Transport Companies

Should you decide to move a car to Portland, consider a few things first:

• Choose efficiency over affordability: If there is a company you really want to use, but aren’t sure of how affordable they are, consider the level of efficiency the company has. If the company can move your car quickly and effectively, it may well be worth the price.
• Sign a contract for services: If you agree to work with a company, don’t consider the deal a done one until you have it in writing, with both of your signatures on the dotted line.
• Inspect your car carefully ahead of transport: Make sure you don’t note any dents or scratches on the vehicle and check when you get it back for the same thing.

Long Distance Auto Transport to/from Portland

Many potential customers shy away from long distance auto transport services due to the cost. However, the idea that DIY is cheaper is simply not true. Thanks to our large carriers and our terminal system, our company can deliver your car at a similar price if not lower.

A single open carrier can transport up to 12 vehicles at a time. It’s the most convenient way to transport cars, as it saves owners’ time and the price is shared with up to a dozen others.

If you’d like to keep costs to a minimum, using our terminals will help as well. You’ll get a better deal this way, since the carrier won’t have to go out of its way to pick up your car.

The longer the distance, the more you will have to pay, but that is also true for DIY. Fuel, meal, and hotel bills stack up fast. Combined with several days wasted on the road, it’s much more efficient and cheaper in the long run to hire an auto transport service.

Shipping Luxury and Classic Cars in Portland

Luxury and classic cars can be shipped like any others, on an open or on an enclosed carrier. The advantage of using an open carrier is the lower costs, while the disadvantage lies in the longer time needed for delivery and the fact that the cars are exposed to the elements.

If you can afford it, an enclosed carrier is generally considered safer since it protects the cargo from all sides. Not only that, but the content of an enclosed trailer remains hidden until the destination, while open carriers display the cars on top for all to see. This can become a problem if thieves spot it. Since price isn’t normally an issue for luxury and classic car owners, an enclosed truck is the preferred transportation method for this class of clients.

Special Discounts in Portland

Special discounts are given in special circumstances. If the owner of the vehicle is a student, he/she can transport the car at a discount. Military personnel and seniors can also do the same. Also, our seasonal offerings are available to everyone. To learn more about them, call our staff.

International Shipping to/from Portland

With A1 auto transport’s assistance, you can transport your car to any city or port, either in the US or abroad. In both cases, we will attempt to remove as much of the work and stress from your shoulders as possible. Besides the documents you will have to provide us with and your presence at the pickup and drop off points, nothing else will be required.

If you have any preferences regarding the transport, we’ll probably be able to accommodate you. For example, our fleet contains both open and enclosed auto carriers. We can guide you to a terminal or come to pick up your car from a location of your choosing. We can also accommodate both the RoRo method and container shipping if your car must travel across the ocean.

Cheap Transportation Options in Portland

The purpose of auto shipping isn't just taking a car from one place to another. How we do it is equally, if not more, important.

With an enclosed carrier or a plane, we can keep even dust from making contact with your vehicles, making sure they arrive without a single scratch every time. However, such services are also more expensive, hence why they're usually employed by companies and individuals who can afford and absolutely need them.

Normal customers are more concerned with the shipment’s price instead. Safety precautions are a given, and the car travels to its destination in a similar fashion to you driving it, but without the added miles. In exchange for leaving it exposed to the harsh winter and the blazing sun of summer, the price is significantly lowered. Anyone can afford such a service, even students and seniors.

Auto Transport Safety Measures in Portland

Our international and local services can be adapted to suit even the most strict safety requirements. We can provide enclosed transportation, container shipping, and air freight.

Your car will be shipped with modern carriers driven by highly experienced drivers. We plan ahead to avoid dangerous areas and poor roads, and even if something does happen, your transport will be covered by insurance.

If you want a safe project without overpaying, then an open carrier and our terminal to terminal option will suffice. If you want to focus on safety and speed, then an enclosed truck will be better.
