Single Car Shipping: The Details Of Shipping One Vehicle
Single-car shipping is one of the most requested services we offer at A-1 Auto Transport. One of the significant challenges with moving one vehicle is that car carriers transport several vehicles at once to maximize efficiency and profitability. This means that customers shipping one car may have to wait until the company they choose has a whole load of vehicles before the transport process begins. For most car shifters, an entire carrier tends to fall between eight and 12 cars, which can delay pick-up and delivery times as car haulers try to facilitate a complete load.
These load delays are less of an issue for more extensive operations like A-1 Auto Transport. With trucks running delivery routes between different cities and countries on a near-constant basis, we rarely run into problems like this that can delay shipments. For Smaller operations, especially those that only operate in a particular area or region, these delays can be more common, which is something you may want to consider when searching for the right company. The larger the scope of the business, the less likely you are to encounter hold times as they struggle to find enough cars to make the shipment viable.

The Benefits of Hauling a Car With A Top-Rated Auto Transporter
- The safety of your vehicle is a top priority, and you can expect your car to be protected and cared for throughout the shipping process.
- The proper equipment for the job is always available, and you don’t have to worry about your shipper cutting corners.
- Insurance coverage is included in the cost of shifting and is enough to cover any damages in the rare instances when something does happen.
- You’ll have plenty of options to choose from, whether it’s the method of transport, delivering to a tricky location, or if you need short-term storage.
- An experienced car hauler with a vast network of carriers can relocate to any location, even another country, without any hangups or delays. Likewise, a company with international and overseas relocating experience will be well-versed in foreign import laws.
About Enclosed Shifting Services
One way to minimize any delays caused by auto carriers that don’t have a full load is to use enclosed car hauling. Unlike transporting a car on an open-air carrier that may have up to 12 spaces available, enclosed shipping typically only allows for two to four vehicles to be moved at once. Since this is the case, moving the process without waiting while the carrier searches for more customers to fill the load is much easier.
Another benefit of using enclosed car relocating is that it offers more protection for the vehicle while it’s being shipped. Since the car is completely covered on all four sides, there is no risk of any weather damage or road debris coming into contact with your vehicle.
