Door-To-Door Car Transport Interstate

Door-To-Door Car Transport Interstate

What is Door-To-Door Car Transport Interstate?

Generally, hauling requires dropping off the vehicle at the port or depot, and from there on it is loaded on the ship or multi carriers. Then the auto are delivered to the destination depot or terminal for pick-up.

Though it is a cost-effective option for customers, usually the coordination for delivery and pick-up takes away a lot of time and requires logistic support. Thus, to further smooth out the process, there are plenty of services that offer affordable Door-To-Door Interstate services.

This specific custom service ensures that it or other vehicle is directly picked up from your doorstep and delivered to your doorstep in the destination city. At A1-AT service, we offer delivery directly to the address in the new city, so you never have to worry about picking it up from the depot.

Reasons to Use Door-To-Door for Interstate Moving

The main reason customers opt for door-to-door is due to convenience. Many reasons why selecting this method is a better choice. Some of these are:

  • Saves time in picking up and dropping off at the port or terminal. The service takes care of all the requirements.
  • The Same driver picks and hauls it eliminating the need for multiple carrying and storage facilities.
  • You get to meet and talk with the driver who will haul.
  • Real-time updates with GPS tracking of all carriers.

Option in Delivery

As with any method, the door-to-door method offers multiple choices. You can pick from:

Multi-car delivery truck: The trucks are designed for moving with ease. Many autos can be adjusted and secured within two layers in the trucks.

Flatbed option: This is the best option for door-to-door if you need to move one single vehicle, motorcycle, dirt bike, or a smaller auto.

The enclosed trucking option is a better option as it provides added protection. With an option of the enclosed method, it is not exposed to debris, incremental weather conditions, and potential damages during transit. This is a viable option if you are buying or selling cars or other autos and need to haul over a long distance.

Hauling

Irrespective of whether you are using door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal, there are many steps that you need to take to prepare it for moving. It is good to check the pressure in the tires, and brake fluids or operational issues, so that there are no delays. If there are some issues, it is best to communicate them to the driver. You don’t need to have more than a quarter of the tank of fuel. Remove all loose accessories or personal items as only empty vehicles can be hauled. It is essential to disable all alarms or turn them off during transit. The company will require documentation of the damages, scratches, and dents on it that you are delivering.

Additional considerations

It is essential to keep in mind that as the carriers are big, they need wide space on the street to park and haul. Additionally, overhanging branches or driveways can pose an obstacle. In such cases, the trucks will be parked as close to it as possible and the driver will contact you for the most convenient location.
