Ship your Automobile to or from Brandon
When you hear someone talking about moving to Florida, the first city that comes to mind is usually Miami or Tampa. Even though our jobs often take place in larger cities, we also handle other areas too. A-1 Auto Transport offers its pick up and delivery services to rural and suburban Florida destinations as well. When you are in Tampa, if you travel 11 miles due East, you come to the suburban area of Brandon.
Do not mistake this Brandon for the same one you will find in Manitoba or Mississippi - this area is a part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Metro area statistically. There were an estimated 114,626 residents based on information collected from the 2020 census.
For size comparison purposes, Brandon, FL, is about a fourth of the size of Miami, FL.
There is plenty to do in Brandon, and the suburban atmosphere is why many people move here. There is access to larger cities without the traffic nightmares that tend to occur.

If you do plan to move in the future, have you considered shipping your auto to Brandon, FL?
Finding a Hauling Company
The hardest part of the vehicle shipping process is finding the right moving company. Next to a home, your vehicles are one of the priciest investments you will make in your life.
Look at the Reviews
Before you spend a lot of time really digging into a company’s background, start with the reviews on services from previous customers (and employees) in and around Brandon, FL. Reviews are one way to form a better opinion of the service provider. One of the best places to look for reviews is the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Unregistered Companies Need Not Apply
Did you know that companies are highly regulated?
The Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the governing body, and each assigns each provider a number – a DOT number and an MC (motor carrier) number. These numbers will tell you if the services provider is registered and active.
Licensed and Bonded
Licensed and bonded is not the name of a James Bond reboot being filmed in Brandon, but rather indicates who in the auto transport and customer relationship holds the liability.
Hint: It shouldn’t be you!
When car shipping companies are licensed, bonded, and insured it releases you from being liable if something happens during transport. The company should be the one liable while they transport your car – if they aren’t, you may want to reconsider.
Services Meet Your Car Needs
The company you are considering should offer the services you need. You wouldn’t choose a Brandon car shipper who only specializes in rare exotic cars to ship your 2002 Mazda Protégé. The same applies to shipping an exotic car with a carrier who has never seen, let alone touched one before.
Budget-Friendly – But Not Too Friendly
You have heard it said before, “if it is too good to be true, it probably is.” As much as it pains us to say it, you should always listen to your elders, especially with car transport.
Many scammers out there like to lure inexperienced Brandon, FL customers with a good deal and unbelievable guarantees, only to leave them high and dry at delivery. That is why getting multiple quotes is a part of the process of finding legitimate moving services.
Why Relocating is the Most Reliable Solution
While driving to your new destination might seem like the most logical and cost-efficient solution, we are here to assure you that it is not.
In fact, shipping companies are a more reliable solution – and we are going to tell you why.
Cost for Moving
One of the first things we hear when hauling is, “How much is this going to cost me?” Sure, in most circumstances, driving would be the cheaper option, but this is if there are no unforeseen circumstances. The goal is to make sure your vehicle arrives safely in Brandon.
How many times do things go as planned?
Cost isn’t just about the amount of gas the vehicle will consume or about the hotel stays or snacks for the road. There are also physical, mental, and mechanical costs that have to be considered.
The price of relocating your vehicles to Brandon, FL will vary depending on the factors used to provide you with an accurate quote or the service that is requested.
Getting a Shifting Quote
When you go online to our website (or the Brandon auto transport service provider of your choice’s website), you will be asked if you would like a free quote. These quotes are completely free and provide you with the general information you need for your shipment to Brandon.
What is required for an initial quote?
- Where will the car be picked up?
- Where will the car be dropped off in Brandon, FL?
- When do you need this to happen?
- What kind of car is it?
- How many vehicles need to be shipped to Brandon?
At this stage of the process, there is no need for personal information or payment details. When you speak with a qualified shipping expert, they will gather that information when the time comes to schedule your shipment.
Cost and Timeframe for Hauling
We can accommodate shipments from anywhere in the world or across the United States. We have shipped from states like Mississippi and Washington and cities including San Antonio, Houston, Boston, Chicago, and more - all for customers who move to Brandon and other Florida cities. We break down some of the most popular locations to move to Brandon from - showing you the distance in miles, the approximate amount of time it will take, and the price.
Safety and Moving
Safety is one reason to consider hiring company to ship your car to Brandon. A lot can happen on the roadway, and to think otherwise is slightly naïve.
Some of the safety issues that a person may encounter on the roadway are flat tires, blown tires, mechanical failure (ending up stranded), lack of cell service during an emergency, car accident, and the list goes on.
An experienced and reliable company takes personal safety issues like these off the table.
By hauling your car, you are putting the vehicle itself in a situation where it is being hauled, and you can fly by plane or take a bus – however you want to get to Brandon. A moving company is going to help keep your car safe while you are safely relocating yourself.
How Distance Plays a Role Companies
Even though the distance is a part of determining the shifting price to transport your vehicle, it is also one deterrent to driving your car yourself—the further the destination, the more that can go wrong.
Think of it as Murphy’s Law, auto shipping style.
The Convenience Auto Transport
At the end of the day, shifting your car to Brandon, FL, is just easier. If you are moving to Florida and are not familiar with the new area, driving for the first time might be a little intimidating. You are also likely stressed from handling your move and the need to put away everything you own.
Tips to Efficient Relocation
Shipping a vehicle doesn’t have to be a long and drawn-out process. There are some tips that we can give you to make the finding, booking, and moving process as streamlined as possible.
Tip #1: When searching for a certified hauler, use the above criteria before obtaining quotes. Once you find the companies you trust, begin getting quotes for them. These quotes should be free and with no obligation to commit.
Tip #2: When getting a quote, ask about discounts that may be available. Some companies give discounts for senior citizens, students, military status, snowbirds, and more.
Tip #3: Lock in your price and schedule your shipping date. The sooner you schedule, the more likely you will get the date you want.
Tip #4: On the day of shipment, DO walk around the vehicle with the shipping company’s representative. You both will go over your vehicle and notate any pre-existing damage (this is important later on).
After the shipment is completed, you will do the same process again. At this time you and the driver or representative notate any new damages that may need to be turned into insurance.
Tip #5: Leave all the fluids in your vehicle (even the gas tank) at a quarter full. The reduction in fluids will help keep the weight of your vehicle lower, which results in lower shipping weight and pricing. The quarter tank is enough to ensure you have enough to get to a local gas station at drop-off.
