Shipping your car.

The weather conditions are definitely to be considered. Make sure to avoid winter months as there is a high chance of delays. However, you should know that the city is close to the port and your car is going to be easily transported to the main city. Even though there are a lot of surrounding ports and the city is close to them, delays are something to be prepared for anyways.

Shipping Procedures.

There is quite a lot of paperwork and documents to be prepared when shipping to Albania. With this in mind, some of the important documents are:

Passport of the owner.
Registration and title deed.
Residency permit.
Ownership proof.
Documents as well an invoice of purchase.

You might want to refer to the Albania Customs Authority in order to get a hold on the limitations and other important requirements and this is definitely going to help you stay updated with the latest changes. Keep in mind that the banks don’t work on Saturdays and Sundays so fund transfers should be done in advance.

Shipping Methods.

There are two shipping methods for you to choose from and you would need to make your decision based on your requirements and needs. Right off the bat, you can go for the RORO method which would require you or an authorized agent to drive your vehicle on to a shipping deck on its own wheels. The car is then going to get fastened and shipped as is. You have to empty out and steam clean the car if you want to ensure that no delays take place.

Container shipping, on the other hand, is more expensive but you get to choose between a 40ft and 20ft shipping containers in which you can store your vehicle as well as personal belongings that you need to take with you. With this in mind, you get a lot of value for your money if you need to ship additional belongings. In any case, if you would wish to get current information about the most relevant requirements you can contact the Embassy of Albania in Washington, D.C.

Satisfied Customers

“I am super happy with my choice of A1 Auto Shipping. The other company I worked with was super difficult, though it did teach me a bit about the industry. Some brokers underbid by a lot, so they’ll get your contract, even if there are no carriers who will ever want to take on a job at such a price. Because of this, after signing the contract, they may leave you hanging endlessly. I had to get my car to Kentucky and had no time for pointless waiting. The other company asked me to pay $800 upfront. I didn’t know at the time this wasn’t standard practice. By paying upfront, I basically had no choice but to wait on them till a truck finally offered to take my car. A1 Auto Transport, for example, only asks for a deposit amounting to a fraction of the total cost when picking up your vehicle. You only pay the full sum after the job is done. The broker, whose name I won’t mention, was supposed to get a truck to my doorstep on the 5th of September. I put my order in 10 days prior, so there was plenty of time to find one. When I called them, they told me the 5th was actually the earliest estimate, and the actual pickup date could be quite long time away. After “accidentally” charging another $700 for my transportation, I was in tears. I had to move in less than a week, and I couldn’t afford to leave my car behind. So, I gave up on those guys and opted for A1 Auto Transport. I spoke with Joe and he got my car on a truck the following day. I am so grateful! The arrival time was estimated at 6-8 days, and it got to Kentucky on the 7th. This saved me a ton of money I would have had to spend on transport to search for an apartment. Joe called a day earlier to let me know of the time and place it would arrive. I asked if it could be delivered to another nearby location, and he was nice enough to do it. He was very helpful and straight forward. Thank you!”

“There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them. After doing some research, I got even more worried reading about all the scams and accidents that can happen. But, I have work to do and couldn’t afford to drive my newly purchased Mini Cooper all the way to Virginia. Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport. They are very good at their jobs. I spent more than an hour drilling Joe with various questions, and he never once lost his patience. He saw I was interested, so he bore with me until I was satisfied. The driver was also very courteous and my car was intact on arrival. I couldn’t have asked for more. By the way, the price we first agreed on stayed the same. There were no delays or unexpected “surprises.” I can safely say this is a legit company that will get the job done.”

“Thank you for your professional service in shipping my vehicle from Baltimore to Los Angeles. The Tahoe arrived without a scratch. Sorry that you were my second choice. The first company (U.L. out of Florida) never picked up the vehicle, then refused to refund my $200 cash deposit - then finally sent me a credit toward some future vehicle shipment - if within one year. You live and learn, I guess.”

“I though taking my car to Connecticut was going to be the most difficult part of the move. And until I found Joe and A1 Auto Transport, it was. Fortunately, from that point forward it was handled flawlessly. A month ago, I tried a website which promised to find me a company with great rates. More than a dozen carriers took me up on the offer, so I chose the one that was the cheapest. Instead of showing up, he called on the shipping date to tell me his truck is getting repairs. I waited 2 more days before finally cancelling the order. I lost a week pointlessly, and my family and I were supposed to move 2 weeks later. I searched some more and chose a broker with a seemingly good reputation. After a week of waiting, I finally stopped waiting for him to find me a truck. Finally, a work colleague to which I was complaining about the situation, recommended A1 Auto Transport. He’d used them in the past and recommended them with a ‘thumbs up.’ I called Joe that same day. He told me it was peak shipping season. Some companies, instead of telling you they’re full, may choose to simply let you wait in case one of their other clients cancels. Fortunately, he had a truck available, and he sent it my way immediately. In a couple of hours, my car was on its way to Connecticut.”

“I recently contacted your company regarding the transport of a car I had purchased in South Dakota and needed brought to Okalahoma. First of all your quoted price was half that of your nearest competition, secondly the actual transport took only a few days and finally your driver couldn't have been more professional. Thanks for the value and quality of service. If you ever need a reference I'm your guy. Regards, Walt Thompson”
