From our office on Santa Monica Boulevard — steps from where Route 66 meets the Pacific — First Class Auto Transport coordinates car shipping for the entire LA Westside. We arrange door-to-door auto transport across Santa Monica, Venice, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Westwood, Culver City, and Marina del Rey, with carriers staging along the I-10 for direct routes to every major U.S. market.
The Westside ships more high-value vehicles than almost anywhere in the country, and our enclosed auto transport service is built for it: hard-sided covered trailers, lift gates for low-clearance cars, and carriers experienced with luxury, exotic, and classic vehicles. For daily drivers, open car transport keeps costs down without compromising insurance coverage.
Narrow Westside streets and permit-parking zones can complicate large carrier access — our dispatchers know the area and will arrange a safe, convenient nearby meeting point (often a wide boulevard or shopping center lot) when a 75-foot hauler can't reach your door.
Our Santa Monica car shipping service covers Venice, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Westwood, Culver City, Marina del Rey, and the LA Westside — with door-to-door pickup and delivery throughout the area.
Open, enclosed, and expedited auto transport — choose the Santa Monica car shipping service that fits your vehicle and budget.
