Our services

Our catalog is packed with services that cover every demographic. You are also allowed to customize your own shipping experience depending on your requirements. Here are some of the services we offer:

  • Enclosed/covered shipping. This is the safest service available. Your vehicle is placed on the back of a covered carrier and shipped to its destination. This protects it from debris that can be kicked up as the vehicle is being transported; bad weather conditions, curious passersby who might tamper with the vehicle, and theft. With cases of grand theft auto on the increase, you will feel much better if you ship your vehicle using this method.
  • International moving service. Moving to another country is not always easy. You need a trustworthy shipping partner who knows how the process works and knows what is required for the move. We will assist you in packing, shipping and setting you up in your new home. You can always count on us to deliver what we promise.
  • Multiple car transport. Shipping a large number of vehicles at a go is a great way of maximizing savings and discounts handed out by auto shippers. It reduces the amount of fuel used since all the cars are picked up and delivered to one destination, and less handling fees.
  • Dealer to dealer shipping. As an auto dealer, you always need you inventory levels kept at an optimal level. This helps you stay competitive and relevant in the market. We are able to provide scheduled deliveries at whatever intervals you want. We also give discounts which can later be passed on to your customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does San Fernando car shipping cost?

As of September 6, 2026, a running sedan on open transport from San Fernando costs about $550-$800 under 500 miles, $800-$1,300 for 500-1,500 miles, and $1,300-$1,700 beyond 2,000 miles. For roughly 1,500-2,000 miles, $1,000-$1,500 is a practical planning range. Vehicle size, operability, enclosed service, and a narrow pickup window can move the price. A1's car shipping rates guide explains how the main quote inputs affect pricing.

How long does it take to ship a car from San Fernando?

Loaded transit from San Fernando usually takes 1-3 days under 500 miles, 2-5 days for 500-1,000 miles, 4-7 days for 1,000-2,000 miles, and 7-10 days beyond 2,000 miles. Pickup scheduling is separate and commonly adds 1-5 days before loading. Once the car is on the truck, traffic, weather, and other pickup or delivery stops can shift the arrival window. Treat the quoted delivery date as a range rather than a guarantee.

Can a carrier pick up my car at my San Fernando address?

Door-to-door pickup in San Fernando is usually possible when the carrier can stop safely and legally at the requested address. The city's mobility plan says there are no freeway interchanges inside San Fernando and lists Brand Boulevard, Glenoaks Boulevard, Hubbard Street, Mission Boulevard, and Truman Street as truck routes for certain vehicles over 9,000 and up to 60,000 pounds. If your block lacks safe loading space, the driver may arrange a nearby legal meeting point. A1's door-to-door auto transport service explains address-based pickup.

Should I use open or enclosed transport for a car in San Fernando?

Open transport is usually the practical choice for a standard sedan, SUV, or pickup, while enclosed transport gives specialty cars more protection from weather and road debris. Open carriers are more widely available and usually cost less; enclosed trailers are commonly chosen for classics, exotics, high-value vehicles, and cars with custom paint or low clearance. Tell the shipper about unusually low ground clearance before booking so suitable loading equipment can be confirmed. A1's enclosed auto transport options explain the covered-trailer service.

How can I check whether a San Fernando car shipping company is legitimate?

For interstate San Fernando car shipping, a legitimate broker or carrier should have verifiable FMCSA registration and the operating authority required for its role. Check the company's USDOT or docket information against FMCSA records, and compare the listed phone number with the one contacting you. Before pickup, confirm the carrier name and truck details match your dispatch information; FMCSA specifically warns about identity theft and unauthorized use of carrier numbers. A very low quote alone does not establish that a transporter is legitimate.
