Bordering the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Alaska, it is easy to ship it by sea while overland transportation is another method that you can explore. At A1 Auto Transport service, we offer a range of shipping options. You may have to consider door-to-port option where we’ll come to your home or office and pick up your vehicle in order to drive it to the port for you. You can also choose port-to-door or port-to-port as an option. However, these are paid services and will be added on the shipping bill.

In case you choose land based transportation, your vehicle will be transported by a closed in truck or by a multi-car carrier.
