Using Tacoma Vehicle Transport Companies
Before shipping your vehicle to Tacoma, remember:
- Ask plenty of questions up-front: The time to know if a company will be the best fit for your needs is before you sign on the dotted line. Once you are locked into a contract, it is that much harder to get what you want from your vehicle shipping company. Ask enough questions on the front end, so you don’t get duped by an unscrupulous operation.
- Read the contract in its entirety: This way, you don’t agree to something you didn’t realize – such as a payment policy with which you don’t feel comfortable – and sign agreeing to follow it.
- Question mode of transport: Your vehicle may be shipped on a tractor-trailer, which means it may take more time to arrive to your destination. This is information you need to know ahead of time so you can plan accordingly.

Long Distance Auto Transport to/from Tacoma
In most US states, our company has terminals set in place where you can leave your car to be picked up by one of our carriers. It’s cheaper to transport your car this way compared to having a truck come directly to your home to pick it up. Because our fleet of carriers is quite large, it won’t take long for one to arrive and pick up your car.
However, if you wish to save some money, it’s best you don’t leave scheduling your long distance transport for the last minute. We can arrange express deliveries, but you’ll be charged more.
Shipping Luxury and Classic Cars in Tacoma
The first step in shipping your luxury or classic car to Tacoma is calling A1 auto transport through the phone number available at the top of this post. You can obtain a price estimate this way and proceed with the order. Our staff will need to know the details of your transport to properly arrange it.
For example, we’ll need to know where your car is currently located at and where you’re trying to move it. We must know what type of car it is and what requirements you have for the shipment. Your budget is also a factor, since higher level transport options also cost more.
Special Discounts in Tacoma
When a client calls us regarding the transport of several vehicles, we understand just how expensive this project can get for him/her. Because of this, and to thank you for your business, we've created a special discount.
We can provide you with another discount if it's your first time working with us. If you’re part of the military, a senior, or a student, you will also pay less than the standard price. When calling for a quote, remember to also inquire about our seasonal offers, since they may be in effect soon.

To save time on auto shipping, express deliveries are available even for international projects. If you'd like to start such an endeavor, discuss the matter with our staff over the phone. They can give you valuable advice on how to prepare, what it will cost you, etc.
We can offer you either an open or an enclosed carrier if the transport is to be carried on land. We can also deal with ships, customs, and any other authority in your stead. This way, you won't have to be physically present at any point during the trip, saving you money and time. For the few things we will need your input, we'll let you know when discussing the project.
Cheap Transportation Options in Tacoma
Every company's goal is returning customers. This is why when A1 auto transport gives you a quote, it’s exactly what you’ll pay with a very small margin of error.
These days, people are trying to get lower prices for auto transportation without falling into the hands of scammers. A common scheme is to promise one price, usually a very low one, and then to add additional costs after the car is in the company's possession. In such cases, you're not going to get your property back unless you pay, and even the police can be powerless to do anything about it.
However, serious companies with a decent history rely on returning customers and positive reviews to keep working and expanding. We wouldn't have gotten to this point after more than 20 years in the business without winning the trust of our clients. If you're looking for good auto transportation at great prices, call today.
