Methods of Shipping

Door to door shipping is when the shipping company comes to the place where the motorcycle is located to retrieve it for shipment. They will then take it to wherever you need it shipped to directly.
Terminal to terminal shipping includes dropping the bike off at a terminal and retrieving it from another terminal. This is less expensive but can be inconvenient to anyone not near one of the terminals.
Enclosed shipping is when the motorcycle is placed inside an enclosed trailer for shipment. This keeps the motorcycle safe from any possible harm due to debris on roads, weather conditions and more.
Open shipping is when the motorcycle is placed on an open trailer. This is a cheaper method of vehicle shipment.
Crated shipping is quite popular and less costly than many other shipping methods. The motorcycle will need to be drained of all fluids and the battery will need to be disconnected if this is the method you choose.

The Requirements That Must Be Met Prior to Shipment

Prior to sending your motorcycle off for shipment to Rhode Island, one must make sure that all of the requirements are fulfilled. Requirements are standard for all transport methods with the exception of crated shipping.

All fluids must be checked, as well as the tires' air pressure and the battery.
The motorcycle mustn't have any loose items attached or anything unnecessary on it.
Make sure there is no more than a ¼ tank of gas.
Wash the bike and make sure that there isn't any dirt or debris anywhere.
Check for any existing damage. Be sure to note any scratches, dents, etc. Take pictures. This will help you to notice if any further damage to the bike was done during shipping after it reaches its destination point.
If there is an alarm system, make sure that it is disabled.

Satisfied Customers

“A1 Auto Transport sure knows how to give a red carpet experience. Joe was proactive and always available. The company I used before couldn’t get me scheduled even after a week. Joe did it in a few minutes. Ordering was a breeze, and the driver was good. He was on time for the pickup, but the delivery was a day late. The weather slowed him down a lot, but I’m just glad it arrived in Rhode Island intact. Overall, the experience was worth recommending to others. The car was as I sent it, and I’m a very happy customer.”

“After my dad’s passing, I decided to return to Rhode Island to support my mom. The last company I used to move a car was late by 3 days, so I went to the web once more and did my research. I went through several websites and asked for quotes, including A1 Auto Transport. It wasn’t the cheapest nor was it the most expensive company of the bunch, but I knew not to rely on price for these things. I’ve heard of quite a few scams from companies with really low rates. So, I called each one to get a better feel for them. To my questions, some of them got flustered, others didn’t know how to answer and said they’ll get back to me at a later date. One guy whom I pestered a bit too much simply hung up. But with A1 Auto Transport, it was a different story. Joe answered the first time and had no problem answering my questions. It was like he already knew I would ask them. His quote was also reasonable, so I asked him to arrange for a truck to pick up my car. My experience with A1 Auto Transport was a resounding success! Thank you Joe for the stellar service!”

“The only thing I can say about A1 Auto Transport and Joe is they’re the only transport company you’ll ever need. They moved our vehicle to Virginia in February and the car got there on the exact day they promised. The driver notified us all throughout the transport. After a couple months, we had to go back to Rhode Island thanks to work. I found someone cheaper and figured I’d save a couple bucks. Big mistake. The driver was 10 hours late. He arrived at 2 am, woke up our kids, then yelled at us for complaining about it. I showed him the finger and he took off, leaving our cars stuck in the driveway. We had to catch a flight in 4 days. I called Joe. He was on vacation, and he still made it 1 day before our flight to pick up our cars. The driver was excellent, professional, and super friendly. Transportation went smoothly and we got our vehicles back 6 hours early. We met Joe once more when picking them up, and it was just perfect. As far as we’re concerned, they’re the perfect company.”

“Most of the time people take the time to write a complaint letter. I am very happy with your service so far so I thought I would write and tell you. In today's world where mediocre service is the norm your company has proved your commitment to customer service is far above that of your competitors. I have not received my car yet but I felt compelled to write this email and commend A-1 Autotransport for the job well done thus far. Here are some points I would like to make. Your dispatcher Marie Ferguson upgraded my cars transportation, at no extra cost, to an enclosed transporter. My car is a rare SS Camaro Convertible with only 4,000 miles and is perfect in every way. I can't tell you how much I appreciate her concern for my cars safety. When the seller of the car was a little on the uncooperative side your agents offered to pick the car up where it was at the sellers residence. Again at no extra cost to me. The seller of the car called me after the car was picked up and mentioned how professional the driver was and how he moved cars off the transporter to put my car in the best location for it's long ride to Oregon. When I heard that I felt reassured I had chosen the right company to move my car. The system you have to track the progress is really fun. It took me a little while to figure it out but I had a blast watching the progress. Your driver didn't waste any time. The car was picked up in Ft Lauderdale Florida on Tuesday evening and was in Watsonville California Saturday afternoon. Great Job! I thought I might hear from you Sunday to arrange pick up of my car, most likely I hear from you Monday morning. Thank you again for all you folks have done for me. I would be happy to recommend your service to anyone who asks. Best Regards, Brian Hewgill”
