I needed a non working car relocated from out of state. These guys did wonderful job of keeping me informed about pickup and estimated delivery. The price was fair and did not require extra haggling. I will use them again when they are needed.

This was my 1st time transporting my vehicle. I found A.A.T. On Google because of there good reviews. From the beginning Paul Strausberg made it so easy. From the time on helping me set up the order, to the time when I received my vehicle. Always stayed in contact with me, providing me with ETA’s and answering any questions I had. I will definitely use them again and refer them to close friends and family members. Thanks American Auto Transport

I had to get a new car purchased to my daughter in another state and hired American Auto Transport. They picked it up and dropped it off in front of her place like clockwork. Saved me driving it up and flying back or vice versa. They were nothing but courteous and helpful during the entire process. I also recommended them to my brother and his wife who retired from the Navy and moved back to Texas. They also had nothing but positive things to say about this company. Top tier service!

AAT transported my 1996 Dodge Ram. My family has worked with them in the past and they did me a great service when they provided me with my quote. It’s safe to say the next vehicle I need transported I will be calling AAT.

Picking American Auto Transport to move your vehicle from Virginia to California is a logical choice when compared to the challenges and complexities of driving such a long distance. The drive from Virginia to California spans thousands of miles and involves significant time on the road, which can lead to fatigue, stress, and various risks. By choosing auto transport, you bypass these challenges and ensure a hassle-free, convenient, and safe experience. This is especially important for individuals with busy schedules or those who prefer a more comfortable and stress-free relocation.

Long-distance driving poses inherent dangers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 36,096 traffic fatalities in the United States in 2019. Many of these accidents occurred during long journeys, where fatigue, unfamiliar routes, and extended hours behind the wheel can increase the risk of accidents. Auto transport eliminates the need for you to drive through unknown terrain, allowing you to avoid these dangers and focus on other important matters.

Choosing auto transport can be a cost-effective decision. Long road trips come with expenses such as fuel, accommodations, meals, potential vehicle maintenance, and the depreciation of your car due to increased mileage. Auto transport streamlines your budget by eliminating many of these costs. Additionally, reputable auto transport companies often provide insurance coverage for your vehicle during transit, offering financial protection in case of unforeseen incidents. In summary, American Auto Transport offers a smart, cost-effective, and secure solution for transporting your vehicle from Virginia to California, ensuring that it arrives safely and without the typical stress and risks associated with a cross-country drive.

Costs when transporting your own vehicle:

  • Fuel – $450-600
  • Food – $400-550
  • Lodging – $400-600
  • Plane ticket home – $350-1300

For a grand potential total of more than $3,000! That’s a whole lot of your hard-earned money that you’d be spending, just to ship a car from Virginia and California — money that you might better spend on a family vacation, put into savings, or use to pay bills.
