About A-1 Auto Transport

A-1 Auto Transport is a brokerage that connects consumers to carriers that submit competing bids to ship your car. The A-1 process breaks down into three steps:

  1. Request a quote from A-1 Auto Transport.
  2. Receive emails and phone calls from several competitors vying for your business.
  3. Choose the carrier that works best for you.

A-1 Auto Transport facilitates the shipping of almost any type of vehicle, either from door to door or terminal to terminal.

A-1 Auto Transport cost

The average quote we received to ship a four-door sedan from New York to Miami through A-1 Auto Transport was about $700. We collected quotes from six carriers ranging from $655 to $750 in less than 10 minutes.

If you take a less popular route, ship a larger vehicle or need your car transported a longer distance, you'll probably pay more than $700. Expect to pay less money for shorter routes, smaller cars and shipping during off-peak times.

International car shipping costs for A-1 vary based on destination. You can find rough estimates for common international moves below.

International routeEstimated cost
New York to Germany$1,475
Los Angeles to the U.K.$4,050
Las Vegas to New Zealand$2,850
Columbus, Ohio, to Spain$1,950
Detroit to Argentina$3,575
Chicago to Costa Rica$4,275
Miami to Belgium$2,125

A-1 Auto Transport shipping options

One of A-1’s best features is its extensive shipping options. You can ship between states, across the country or internationally. Open shipping is standard, but you can opt for enclosed shipping if your car is valuable. Expedited transport is available. In addition to standard cars, A-1 Auto Transport can ship:

  • Classic cars
  • Motorcycles
  • Snowmobiles
  • Trucks
  • Heavy equipment
  • Salvaged cars
  • SUVs
  • RVs and motor homes
  • Water scooters
  • ATVs
  • Boats and yachts

You can opt for door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal shipping with A-1 Auto Transport. Door-to-door shipping is the more convenient option, but terminal-to-terminal is typically cheaper and sometimes required for remote locations.

If you’re moving your entire home, A-1 can help connect you with a household mover.

    If you have never shipped a vehicle before it can be quite daunting, the communication that you get with A1 Auto Transport removes any concerns that you might have. I have shipped quite a few vehicles throughout my military career so I was familiar with the process and even I was surprised and pleased with how attentive the driver was, kept me updated every day so I could plan properly. It felt like he was here with us helping us move, I truly could just let him handle it all for me and dedicate my focus on everything else I needed to do. If I need to ship a vehicle again its an easy decision, just call it a day. This was the easiest vehicle shipment I have ever done and you really can't beat the door to door drop off and pick up.

    I recently shipped a classic car from Delaware to Colorado, and things could not have gone better. Not only was quoting was easy, but it was the most affordable enclosed option that was not a broker (which I wanted to avoid). I provided them with some scheduling challenges, but they met them all. The drivers called to schedule collection & delivery times, and they were exactly on time. The drivers were very pleasant/professional and treated my car with respect and the utmost of care. They took dozens of photos, noting condition at collection and delivery, which were immediately sent to me via email. The car arrived in perfect shape. If I need to ship another classic or valuable car in the future, I will 100% be using them again, no question. It was a great experience.

      I purchased my dream car from out of state and was very nervous about having it shipped across the country. I did lots of research on the internet about shipping companies and the process with brokers vs shippers, which left me even more uncomfortable with the idea. With all of that out of the way I am very happy to have worked with A1 Auto Transport and recommend them to anyone looking to have a vehicle shipped. They shipped the vehicle at what I believe was a very fair price, they reached out by phone to explain the process and answer any questions, and most importantly, picked up and delivered the car with no issues. Thank you for your help and service. I couldn't be happier with the experience.

      I recently shipped my car from Ottsville, PA to San Francisco, CA, and my experience with A1 Auto Transport was excellent from start to finish. After another company failed to pick up my car, I immediately started researching alternatives and kept seeing consistently strong reviews for A1 Auto Transport, which gave me confidence to move forward with them.

      I placed my order online, and within about 20 minutes I received a call back—even though it was a Sunday. The representative was professional, clear, and very helpful, and they quickly set everything up without any stress. On Monday, the driver arrived exactly on time, which was extremely important to me since I had a flight to California early Tuesday morning.

      The entire transport process took seven days, and my car arrived in San Francisco in perfect condition. Throughout the shipment, I received updates and felt well-informed the whole time. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly. I truly appreciate how reliable and organized A1 Auto Transport was, especially after my initial bad experience with another company. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional auto transport service.

      I shipped my car in Denver and I had a really good experience from start to finish. I was moving for University and needed my car in Arizona fast. I called them on a Monday and they had a driver ready to pick up by Wednesday. The booking process was simple and the person I spoke with was friendly and didn’t try to rush me. The driver showed up on time and walked around the car with me to make sure everything was noted before loading it. He also gave me his number so I could reach him during the trip.

      My car got delivered one day early and arrived in perfect shape. No scratches no dents. No problems at all. I liked that the price stayed the same and they didn’t try to charge me extra once the car was picked up. The whole process felt honest and easy. They also answered the phone each time I called which made me feel like they actually care. I would use them again for sure and already told my friends to book with them. They did a great job and made the whole thing stress free.

      I used them twice. First shipment was on july when my parents were moving and needed to ship their two vehicles to Texas. We lived in Burbank, so the customer rep asked to bring the cars to their office ( 15 miles away our home). 2014 Kia Optima and 2012 Honda Accord. Dad worried much about the condition of their cars after shipment but since the driver seemed very reliable, I trusted them the keys of the vehicles. Vehicles were shipped to Austin without a single damage. After such an amazing experience, I decided to hire them to ship my 2015 Honda Civic. Shipment was scheduled in a day, driver was assigned in a day. Cool guys, best car shipping company ever.

      This company was really easy to work with. We moved from the west coast to the east coast and were a little worried how things would go. But they gave a fair price and great customer service. They were consistently keeping us up to date as to when the pickup was and drop off would be. The car even arrived a day earlier than planned and they were great about delivering it to us when we arrived. They truly worked with us every step of the way.

      I had a great experience with A1 Auto Transport. From the first phone call to the final delivery, everything went smoothly. The communication was clear, the price was fair, and the pickup and delivery were on time. The driver was professional and took good care of my vehicle. I definitely recommend this company and will use them again in the future! They communicated well and were fairly priced. The driver came when he was supposed to and the vehicle arrived at the destination in 36 hours. Very happy with their service and I will use them in the future.
