A-1 Auto Transport began serving the public 30 years ago, and we have delivered quality transport services to our customers from coast to coast and internationally ever since. Our primary goal with our website is to ensure that vehicle owners have accurate information about auto transit so they will know what to expect when they need to have a car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, boat, heavy machinery, or other freight shipped.
We want to inform customers about the brokers and carriers in this industry so they can make informed decisions about relocating their vehicles safely and at a reasonable rate. To this end, we strive to provide the most up-to-date information on pricing, transit times, and local information for areas customers need to ship to or from.
Do you need to know where the local DMV is located or where you can apply for a driver’s license? We want to ensure you have that information at your fingertips, so you won’t need to look further than our site.
Partnerships
In business, it is common to form trusted partnerships with other companies to ensure customers have access to the highest quality services. This is true in many industries and holds true with A-1 Auto Transport. We refer our website users to our partners we have worked with for many years, and we assure you that they are all pre-screened, licensed, and bonded as required by our high standards. These companies have been highly reviewed, are in good standing with us, and have shown good business practices.
These companies provide us a fee for referring business to them, yet earning that fee is not our top priority. To maintain our trusted name in the industry, however, we will forego a fee if it means referring someone to a company we would not hire for service. Our name is trusted worldwide, and we will never do anything to mar that bond with the public.

Pricing
We guarantee the best price for the conveyance services that our customers schedule. This does not always mean it will be an extremely low price. While we understand that many brokers will offer lower rates when they give an initial quote, we also know that those trying to pull customers in with an unrealistically low price will need to add more later.
This is often due to brokers quoting very low rates so they can pull in a customer, but then they fail to find a driver who will work for the lower rate, and they will need to have the customer pay more. This is not an honest practice nor one that we will participate in.
When we quote rates, we have already taken the time to know the rates genuinely, and we quote accordingly so our customers know what they will pay. We don’t like surprises and never want to surprise our customers with an extra cost once their transit is booked.
The price we quote for car shipping will be based on the type of vehicle you have, the height and weight of the car, the distance and the route that will be taken, and the season. During the winter, you might find that some routes, such as Minneapolis to Miami, will cost more than those in the summer. This is because during the winter, seasonal travelers called snowbirds tend to head to warmer climates, which means that carriers are busy with snowbird conveyance. When winter is ending, and there are fewer moves to the south, auto transport rates will often decrease.

Broker Or Carrier?
It is not always easy to tell if a company is a broker or a carrier as some are just not upfront about the services they provide, and they won’t tell you that they are brokering the transport for others. We believe in transparency, and when we schedule auto conveyance with a partner company, we will let you know.
Carriers rely on brokers to send business their way, and all too often, carriers are too busy answering a phone or giving a quote when someone needs one. A broker simply plays as a middleman between the customer and the carrier to ensure that people can find a quality carrier for a reasonable price. It is a winning situation for a customer to contact a broker company to help them find a carrier. Brokers will often have access to hundreds of carriers and can find one at a lower price than a customer might discover.
We broker many of the services we offer, and as we have stated before, we partner with many trustworthy carriers nationwide to be able to do this for our customers. Still, we are also a carrier company, and we have a fleet of carriers so that we can haul vehicles on our own. This means that when we book service for our customers, it will not take as long to find a carrier as other brokers because we have our fleet of carriers. This is an excellent benefit for our customers.

Why We Do What We Do
We have been in the car shipping industry for nearly 30 years,. We have a solid team of dedicated auto transport professionals who take pride in this company and what we do for our customers. Over these last 30 years, we have worked hard to build a trusted reputation with our customers and the communities we serve by providing the best conveyance, logistics, tracking services, and personal communication.
Besides helping our customers find quality transit services at reasonable rates, one of our biggest goals is to ensure they have a complete understanding of how the conveyance industry works. Of course, we want you to choose to book your shift with one of our trusted partners, but even more, we want you to know how everything works from the inside out.
When we started in the late 1980s as a small towing company, we had one truck to handle emergency towing and roadside services. By 1995, we had expanded to a fleet of 50 carriers, and in 1998, we also entered the brokerage side of shifting. Today, we not only transit vehicles with our fleet of carriers but also secure hauling for other carriers, and we can now ship to more than 200 countries worldwide.
The purpose of A1AutoTransport.com is to secure reliable transit services at an affordable rate for our customers across the United States and worldwide.
