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 must say after looking at the Better Business Bureau prior to moving my vehicle with you I was aprehensive. I noticed 67 complaints in the last 12 months. When I called John in your office to discuss this he informed me that "Yes, we do have 67 complaints, but we moved over 13,000 vehicles last year and that is less than 1/2% complaint rate" Well John, you managed to exceed my expectations! The A1 team delivered on time and without a scratch. Thank you once again for all your help.”

“The first time I used A1 Auto Transport was when I had to get an Audi to Louisiana from New York. I had no problem with the communication. It went smoothly. Every question I had was answered on the sport, with no beating around the bush and thoroughly. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should call Joe, so we communicated over text and email until I built up the courage. Even then, he would reply to my questions almost immediately. He sent one of his trucks to my home. It arrived in just 2 days, and the driver was just as professional. Joe also dropped by to make sure everything went smoothly. He encouraged me to call him whenever I needed, which I did, perhaps a bit too often. The driver also stayed in touch, sending me regular updates on the shipment’s progress. They allowed me to choose the location for the drop off, so I didn’t have to travel at all to pick it up. My car was in perfect condition, and it’s all thanks to their team effort. As far as customer experience goes, this is some of the best I’ve ever had.”

“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.”

“Moving to Oregon was one of the most stressful experiences I ever went through. The moving company was a pain to find and a bigger pain to work with. They arrived late and took forever to load my belongings. The only thing that went well was A1 Auto Transport, the team I called to transport my car. The contrast between them and the other guys was incredible. Joe was very polite and well mannered. He listened to my request carefully then offered several options for me to choose from. He indicated the cheapest would be using an open carrier, to which I agreed wholeheartedly. He scheduled for one of his trucks to arrive 2 days later, between 2 pm and 5 pm. It arrived at around 4 pm at the nearby supermarket parking lot that we set as a meeting point. The roads near my home would never allow a truck of that size to fit in, so we agreed to meet there. I sent my son with the car to take care of everything, since I was busy with the moving company. He returned an hour later saying everything went smoothly and he really liked the driver. Four days later, while we were unpacking, the truck also arrived in Oregon with our car. The driver was professional, always smiling and patient enough to wait while we inspected the vehicle. There was nothing to report, not a scratch on it, so we ended our transaction well. I’m happy to recommend A1 Auto Transport to everyone and wish more companies would be like it.”
