Atherton Auto Transport Pricing & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle you are shipping.

Areas covered

We can pick up or deliver the vehicle at any address. As a reputable car hauling company, our transport networks cut through all the states in the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii.

Vehicle Hauling services offered

Two things greatly impact your decision between the enclosed and open-air moving options.

• The enclosed option has a much higher shipping cost, mainly due to added equipment and decreased truck capacity. Open-air trailers can carry more vehicles in one trip, which helps to drive down carrier costs.
• Enclosed hauling helps to cover many of the risks involved during conveyance. It secures your vehicle from the elements, dust, rocks, and other external hazards while on the road. When you choose open-air transport, your car will travel when exposed to all these dangers.

One of the best ways to lower the moving cost is to meet the transportation truck at a carrier terminal. We will point out the nearest hubs in your state when you book the service. Our driver will contact us within 48hrs of pick-up/delivery to confirm all the details. Door-to-door delivery offers better coverage to remote areas. The service lets us drop off or pick up the vehicle at your residence. We will offer you attractive rates on the option when sending cars to or from Atherton. The roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) is by far the cheapest international vehicle delivery standard. It involves loading and unloading vehicles on a ship's ramp by driving. Some vessels can move thousands of cars in one trip across the sea. Containerized conveyance helps keep the vehicles safe from damage during moving. There are two container options:

• A shared container can transport between 2 and 4 cars, helping to bring down the cost of shipping. It is faster when more than one car is to be shipped and slower when the transporter needs to find other shippers to fill the remaining space.
• A dedicated container is a better idea when you have a lot of other stuff, like spare parts and household items, coming along with the vehicle. You can put everything in the container at no extra charge.

Automobiles That We Dispatch

We offer reliable transport services for standard cars, vans, trucks, buses, RVs, farm machinery, boats, snowmobiles, and jet skis.

Preparing Your Vehicle For Hauling

As a law-abiding auto transport company, we will not allow personal items inside the vehicle due to restrictions from the FMCSA. Flouting the rule might lead to heavy fines and confiscation. The only time that you can include the stuff is when you have a dedicated moving container. Take note of the existing damage to your vehicle. The best way to start doing this is by cleaning the vehicle and walking around it as you record the details. You will transfer this information to the Bill of Lading with the official inspection report. Use a camera to take images of the damage. Too much gas adds unnecessary weight to the vehicle and increases the safety hazards during the conveyance. We recommend that you keep it at around 1/4 of the tank. Remove all the racks and detachable items from the exterior. Use a protective cover on the non-removable parts. Fold in the side-view mirrors to protect them from getting hit during hauling. One of the best ways to cut your costs when shipping cars to or from x is by keeping your vehicle in running shape. It allows us to use little handling equipment as we load and unload it by driving. The following checklist can help you with the preparations.

• Keep the battery fully charged.
• Top off the fluids and acclimatize the vehicle to the new environment.
• Keep the tires well inflated.
• Make sure that the vehicle does not have any noticeable leaks.
