Safe And Reliable St. Louis Car Shipping Services By A-1 Auto Transport

The second largest city in Missouri and home to more than a quarter million people, St. Louis may well be best known for the infamous arch that graces the city’s entryway, beckoning visitors by the thousands each year that comes to see this landmark. The metro population of the area is almost three million, making it the largest metro area in the state.

It has a history as part of the Louisiana Purchase and relies heavily on industry and manufacturing to feed the local economy. In addition to the Gateway Arch, additional points of interest include the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, the St. Louis Rams NFL team and the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Companies headquartered here include Emerson, the electric company, and Anheuser-Busch, as well as food giant Monsanto and battery company Energizer.

Using St. Louis Vehicle Transport Companies

When you are looking to book St. Louis car transport services, keep a few key tips in mind:

• Get everything in writing: From the terms of your contract to the quote you get when you book the transport order. Never rely on any kind of verbal commitment.
• Remove extra seats in the vehicle before transport: This just adds weight to the vehicle, which in turn can add to the cost to transport it.
• Disable the car alarm: This not only guard against it going off during transport, annoying the driver; it also ensures that your car protection service won’t activate, alerting the proper authorities that your vehicle has been stolen.

Long Distance Auto Transport to/from St. Louis

Our carriers can reach any location on land, including all of our country’s states/cities. Since the price of long distance transportation is slightly higher due to the distance, we recommend using an open carrier since it’s more affordable.

Enclosed carriers are usually reserved for express deliveries, expensive automobiles, etc. Since they can carry at most 6 vehicles at a time, the price of using one is higher.

Some open carriers can carry double that amount of cars in one run. They take longer to reach their destination, since they are bigger and usually have more cars to drop along the way. However, if you call us now to arrange your shipment in a timely fashion, this will not be a problem.

Shipping Luxury and Classic Cars in St. Louis

Our policy at A1 auto transport is to offer each client the best auto transport experience possible. However, since certain services are more expensive to offer than others, options such as enclosed door to door transportation are usually reserved for wealthier clients.

If your car is a classic or something exotic, then you might find it reasonable to pay a little extra to make sure not even a pebble can get near it during shipping. A1 auto transport can arrange for such a level of protection using our enclosed trucks and white glove service. Call our office, and we’ll arrange the shipment according to your specifications.

Special Discounts in St. Louis

A1 auto transport’s student discounts are meant to help our youth save time and resources on their commute. We also assist seniors with a similar discount, as well as military men and women.

Our company’s special offers do not end there. If you’re shipping multiple automobiles or using our services for the first time, you can get a one too. There are also multiple discounts released throughout the year depending on the season. You can call anytime to see if there’re any available right now.

International Shipping to/from St. Louis

While brokers may be able to ship your car internationally, it’s highly likely the trip will be split between many different carriers. Only a large auto transport company, like our own, can guarantee a smooth project, with as few stops and carrier changes as possible.

If you’re shipping your car to a nearby country, the trip can be handled entirely by one carrier. If you must travel across the ocean, then a ship will have to be used, and a different carrier will have to pick up your car in the other country. Our team can also assist you in the preparatory phase by giving you the precise information you need, such as what documents you must prepare and how to get your car ready.
