What Is Needed Before Shipping My Vehicle?

Vehicle shipment can be confusing when shipping to a foreign country from the United States, but Australia's rules and regulations aren't nearly as demanding. Shipping a vehicle can be done and it will prove to be very beneficial to anyone moving there or staying in the city of Perth, Australia for a good length of time.

The most important thing is to consider the amount of money it will cost and make sure that you are prepared to pay for the services as well as the duties required. Vehicle shipment isn't all that expensive if you select to ship it by boat.

Methods of Shipping to Perth.

After deciding to ship your vehicle to Perth, there are two very popular methods in which to choose from. RO/RO and container shipping methods are amongst the most commonly chosen. These methods allow a vehicle to be shipped by sea.

The RO/RO shipping method requires that the empty vehicle be rolled onto and off of the ship. The car must only contain a spare tire, a car jack, and some floor mats. This method is the least expensive.

The container method allows a vehicle to be filled with belongings. The remaining space in the container can also be filled with possessions. The container can be shared with another person to help ease the cost of shipment.

What Is Needed Before Shipping My Vehicle?

License or picture ID.
Proof of purchase.
Passport.
Submission of a letter of compliance to the government of Australia.
Vehicle must be left-handed or older than 1989.

Satisfied Customers

“EXCELLENT! This is the third time, and it still feels like I am a new customer. The reservation and shipment processes are simple and quick. I was in a hurry the last time I called A1, so they asked me for the best time to call back. I was not expecting they’ll go an extra mile by calling me even after working hours as I requested. They surely find ways to make you feel valued. A1 Auto Transport took care of every single detail of my shipment to Iowa. I do not recall any misses. I am wondering how they train their employees. This company earned two thumbs up!!”

EXCELLENT!

“Dear Tracey, I am in the high technology industry with lots and lots of global competition, so I fully appreciate competitive selling situation. In today's fast paced business environment, true customer service is becoming an exception rather than a standard practice. I maintain this fact as I sell to my global clients ranging from electronic giants like Samsung, Motorola to unknown smaller customers in Taiwan. I took notice of Nicole's exceptional professionalism on the phone and her empathy to an already fraustrated customer (dealing with another transport company). Her followup after my initial inquiry for a quote is truly the reason why I chose to do my business with A1 Auto Transport. If Nicole's Customer Service skills are mere routine practice in your firm, then Bravo to management; if not, Nicole deserves to be recognized. Best Wishes, Homin Paik”

“I called over 5 companies and a bunch of people on uship with no success. I found A1 Auto Transport first, and after a lot more unnecessary research, I stuck with it. I found talking to Joe simple and straight forward. He presented a summary of the process, answered the few questions I had with ease, and offered several transportation options for me to choose from. The driver arrived at 10 am as promised, though I was half an hour late. I apologized and he understood. However, from his face I could tell he was tired. After asking him about it, he explained he had another transport the day before and had to drive until 4 am. I was a bit worried, but he reassured me nothing will happen to my car. He seemed experienced, so I let it be. After going around it several time, looking at every nook and cranny and taking several pictures, he requested I remove the spoiler, so it wouldn’t fly into another car during transport. He grabbed a toolbox from his truck and helped with this as well. He arrived in Florida in the morning, 2 days later. Since the time window was 3-5 days, I was a bit unprepared, yet happy to get it sooner. I picked it up from la parking lot nearby, and it was in perfect condition. Thank you Joe!”

“I shipped my Civic from to South Dakota using A1 Auto Transport. Stories of people losing their cars in transit or having to wait weeks for them when using other companies, made me a bit weary. But fortunately, my experience with A1 was the exact opposite. My car arrived 5 days after its departure, even faster than me. The process felt a bit informal when I got updated on the transport’s status via text message. I was a bit stressed, but Joe’s reassurances made it bearable. I found another company with slightly lower prices, but they just didn’t seem trustworthy, so I chose A1. I met the driver before the shipment, which was also reassuring. Somehow, they managed to keep my Civic for 3 days until I got to South Dakota to pick it up. I’m quite happy with my choice and I’ll give them a call when I go back home.”

“I’m so glad we went for A1 Auto Transport. My dad, uncle, and I took a trip to New Jersey and had my dad’s car delivered in perfect shape in time for our little adventure. They never overcharged us and worked with our budget. They were very friendly over the phone and in person, and extremely knowledgeable of the best routes to take across states. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. My uncle’s business partner is now their regular client for their construction firm, and from what I’ve been hearing, business has been awesome since they started dealing with A1 Auto Transport.”
