Safe Car & Bike Transportation Through Verified Carriers
Moving a vehicle is very different from moving household goods. A car or bike needs the right carrier, proper securing, and careful documentation—otherwise even a small mistake can lead to scratches, mechanical issues, or insurance disputes.
Through 1Support’s verified carrier network, you can book professional car and bike transportation anywhere in India, using trained operators, suitable transport equipment, transit insurance, and tracking support.
What Professional Vehicle Transport Actually Includes
Door-to-Door Vehicle Relocation
Vehicle transportation follows a structured process to reduce risk at every stage.
Before Transportation
The process begins with a detailed inspection. The carrier documents the vehicle’s current condition, usually with photographs, so there’s clarity before loading. Paperwork is verified, the suitable transport method is selected, and a realistic cost and delivery timeline is shared.
Basic preparation guidelines—such as fuel level limits and battery checks—are also explained at this stage to avoid transit issues.
Preparation & Secure Loading
Vehicles are not simply driven onto a truck and tied down. Proper loading involves:
- Professional ramps or hydraulic systems
- Secure fastening to prevent movement during transit
- Protective covering where required
- Fuel levels limited (usually not more than one-quarter tank)
- Tire pressure and battery checks
- Alarm system deactivation when necessary
Correct loading is one of the most important factors in damage-free transport.
Transportation & Tracking
Once in transit, vehicles are moved using routes optimized for safety and timelines. For long-distance moves, GPS tracking and regular status updates are usually available.
Transit includes:
- Experienced carrier drivers
- Route planning to avoid poor road conditions
- Insurance coverage for the journey
- LR / consignment documentation for accountability
Delivery at Destination
At delivery, the vehicle is unloaded carefully and inspected again. The condition is verified against the initial documentation before final sign-off. Keys and related documents are handed over only after confirmation.
Types of Vehicle Transport Services
Car Transportation Services
Cars are transported using specialized carriers designed for safe, stable movement.
Open Car Carriers
This is the most commonly used and cost-effective option. Multiple vehicles are transported together on an open trailer. While exposed to weather conditions, it is suitable for most standard cars and includes basic transit insurance.
Enclosed Car Carriers
For customers who want maximum protection, enclosed carriers offer full coverage from weather, dust, and road debris. These are recommended for luxury, premium, or vintage vehicles where cosmetic condition is critical.
Cars Commonly Transported
- Hatchbacks and sedans
- SUVs and MUVs
- Luxury and premium cars
- Vintage and classic models
- Electric vehicles
- Commercial vehicles
Bike & Two-Wheeler Transportation
Two-wheelers require a different handling approach than cars. Proper padding and secure tie-down systems are essential to avoid scratches, bends, or alignment issues.
How Bike Transport Is Handled
- Dedicated two-wheeler transport vehicles
- Secure fastening to prevent tipping
- Protective wrapping and padding
- Frame and suspension protection
- Handlebar and mirror safeguarding
For long-distance transport, battery disconnection and chain lubrication checks are often recommended.
Two-Wheelers Transported
