Auto Transport Services For Vandwellers

Shipping a van is not as simple as moving as other types of vehicles. They come in a variety of makes, models, shapes, and sizes, any of which could require specialized treatment to be shipped properly. This is especially true for van dwellers since there are often modifications and other components that may need to be accounted for that most shippers rarely encounter.

Since camper vans are often modified or have unique dimensions, it’s always a better option to find a shipper that has experience, preferably a good amount of it, if you plan to have one shipped. In our experience, van dwellers tend to appreciate the extra care and handling that comes with choosing a professional and experienced company. You should have several options available to you if you’re dealing with a company that has the know-how to do it right:

Finding a shipper that has a local office can also be helpful when searching for a company to haul a van. If a company doesn’t have offices anywhere near the cities you’re moving to or from, that can be a hassle if something does not go as planned. Everything from communication to the level of service you receive can suffer if you’re not able to easily get in touch with the shipper or company when you need to.

Preparing Your Auto & Overseas Delivery

Moving a van that you live in entails slightly different preparation than it would for a standard vehicle. As any van dweller can tell you, they tend to have more items in their vehicle than the average person, which can create problems when long-distance delivery is involved. Standard vehicle delivery requires that the vehicle be empty and that all items inside the vehicle are firmly secured. The same applies to vans, although there is some leeway allowed if the contents are set in place and won’t shift during transport. If you have any questions that pertain to what may be kept in the van during shipping, be sure to consult the company that will be hauling the vehicle.

While we’re on the topic of what can be kept inside the vehicle during shipment, there are a few important things to keep in mind. If you have anything of value, such as electronics or valuables, they should be removed and sent separately or brought with you when you make the trip. While moving is perfectly safe, there is still a risk of theft during the process and that should be a consideration before releasing your van.

If you happen to be moving to another country, there will likely be more stringent requirements as to what may be stored inside. Since shipping involves not just overland hauling , but also transport by boat in many cases, it’s important that nothing can shift during the process. Because this is the case, the requirements for personal items inside the vehicle are more stringent when delivering overseas or internationally.

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... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
