Automobile Transport Services.

When you contact the professional staff at A1-Auto Transport the representative will ask you some questions about your car, including the make, model and year. They will also need to know if you have modified the car in a way that would alter the weight or height. This is very important to know when they are scheduling your car for pick-up and delivery. Carriers are designed in various sizes and when cars are loaded on them the size needs to be accurate for transporting the car. If your car is large or a size that has been changed from the stock size, the carrier will need to be structurally correct to haul the car. You also need to let the representative know if your car is not in running condition. Cars that do not run need specialized care and will need a different carrier than running automobiles are transported on. Generally, when a car is not in running condition it will cost more to have them picked up as the driver will need to lift the car onto the carrier for transport. Your representative will go over the content of the shipping contract and will gather some basic information from you such as your driver’s license and social security number to identify you as the car owner. You will also need to fill out a Power of Attorney form to give legal permission to the carrier to transport the car for you. Once you have determined the type of transport needed to relocate your car and have fully discussed the contract, your representative will be able to give you a total quote for shipping and will schedule the car for pick-up and delivery to the major shipping port nearest you that provides service to Croix-des-Bouquets.

Types of Shipping.

Shipping a car to Croix-des-Bouquets is simple to do when using an ocean route to ship. There are two ways to ship via the ocean and those ways are RORO, which is short for Roll/On Roll/Off transport. This is the most common way to ship a car internationally and is used by millions of automobile owners and dealerships each year. Cars and other motor vehicles are driven onto RORO ships, secured for transport and then driven off the RORO ship when they reach the destination. You will need to prepare the car for transport by cleaning out all personal content including paperwork. Your representative will go over other preparations including fuel and fluid levels, battery charge and disabling car alarms prior to shipping out. If you have a highly expensive or classic automobile, you may prefer to ship using container shipping instead of RORO. Large shipping containers, usually 20 or 40 feet, are loaded with automobiles as well as household goods for shipping overseas. Container shipping costs a little more than RORO as you will have to pay a container fee, but it makes relocating internationally quite easy especially if you need to pack other items inside of the car during transport.
