It’s very important to know a little about the driving circumstances in Palestine prior to having your car shipped to the country. If you will be driving yourself in Palestine then you need to know that driving in the West Bank is currently safe to do. Driving in Gaza is not recommended at all. Most of the roadways are paved and lined with beautiful scenery as you go through the West Bank but you will want to pay attention as you drive due to potentially having stones or firebombs thrown at the car, and you will want to watch the roads for debris from bombings. You will need to make sure that you have Motor Vehicle Insurance on your car that will cover driving in Palestine.

Imported cars can be transported from the Port of Gaza by Israeli licensed trucks that have a yellow license tag, or by Palestinian trucks if they have a special transport license

For more information on regulations for importing your car or other personal belongings, you can check this website of PIPA laws. You may also want to check with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency to see if there are any new updates on exporting personal items and cars to Palestine and what procedures you will have to go through when you need to have your personal car in Palestine with you.

Before your car is shipped to Palestine you will want to make sure the auto shipper has given you a full quote on the expense total for shipping as well as transporting the car internationally. There are two ways to import your car to Palestine at this time. Ro-Ro shipping is the easiest and least expensive way to have your car shipped overseas. Your car is driven onto the ship for departure and driven off the ship when it reaches the port. You cannot send personal items in your car when you ship with Ro-Ro Shipping. You can also use Container Shipping to ship your car. When you use container shipping you can ship personal items with the car by having them loaded inside of the car as well as inside of the container.

“Mark, I'm gratified when companies take customer service seriously. Please feel free to share the important fact that my experience with A-1 was not particularly extraordinary'and that is the whole point! Things happened the way they were supposed to happen, no muss, no fuss. A friendly driver and courteous pick up folks. Picked up right on schedule. The ability to track my car was great because I could 'guesstimate' when it might arrive and plan accordingly. Now then, you should also know that I chose A-1 because of E-Bay. Never underestimate the power of positive feedback. I did not purchase the service through E-Bay, but I darn sure checked out your feedbacks! And they were very good. In addition, your web site is very user friendly and made my reservations a breeze. Plus, my car arrived in perfect condition. You and your entire staff are to be commended for making my experience routine. That's the goal! Thanks again everybody. Bob C. - Greenville, South Carolina”

“A couple months ago, while on a vacation to Massachusetts, I finally found a car I was looking for. It took me over a year to find it, but after speaking to the seller and 20 minutes of negotiating, it was finally mine. Now, I just had to get it back home to New York. Easier said than done. Fortunately, after searching the web for an hour, I found A1 Auto Transport, a reputable company who seemed to be what I was looking for. Dealing with them was surprisingly easy. I spoke to Joe and got an estimate quite fast. I had a million questions, ranging from the reasonable, like “How much does it cost” to a few that pushed the limit, like “is the driver an alcoholic.” Joe was patient enough to ease my worries. One of his trucks was schedule to drop by Massachusetts in a couple of days, and it was there at the agreed upon time. I barraged the driver with a dozen more questions, to which he replied calmly, though a bit surprised. He took a spin around my brand new car, checked for any scratches and was surprised to not find any. I gave him a wink and told him to take special care of it. This he did. When I met him to pick the car up, it was exactly as I saw it when it boarded the truck. You have my gratitude!”

“Considering some of the alternatives out there, I can safely say A1 Auto Transport is one of the best. I talked to several companies. Around 30 got back to me with such insistence, I had to block some of their numbers. It was only when I took initiative and called A1 that things finally turned for the better. Joe’s advice was the best, an extremely pleasant man. I received a text or a call once a day, while my car was being transported, notifying me of its location and status. The truck arrived on time, both at the pickup and the drop off points. When I checked it in Nevada, the car was as I left it, so I’m very happy with the service.”

“Thanks for the follow-up message. Yes - I used A1 Auto Transport - just under a different quote number. The car arrived in San Antonio after 6 days in fine condition. The website is great. I'll recommend your company to anyone who wants to transport a vehicle. It was easy, cheap, and safe.”

“I know it’s standard procedure, but I didn’t really search much for an auto transporter. I found A1 Auto Transport’s website in a couple of minutes and went straight to the contact page. To my surprise, Joe answered immediately. The car he had to move was with my Mom in Montana, so he promised to make the process as easy and smooth as possible. After inspecting the neighborhood, he concluded a truck could be brought right next to her house. My mom has no problem walking a couple blocks, but driving is another thing. This was the ideal scenario. Unfortunately, where I wanted it delivered wasn’t on any major routes for auto transport. Going off route would cost the company time, and therefore money, making the cost for my transport more expensive as well. Joe offered a cheaper alternative, where I would pick up the car in a nearby town. I chose to pay a little more, since I wasn’t familiar with the meeting point and didn’t want the hassle. I also don’t know that many people with a driving license and the time to drive with me to pick up the car. Going on a bus was a pain, so I chose against it. The price was fair and within my budget. I’m glad to have my Jeep and really happy with the service.”
