Auto
Shipping Tips:
- Drain
your fuel level to less than half a tank. Most companies
charge by weight and draining your gas can save you a few
dollars.
- Prep
your car for the climate. Make sure you have anti-freeze
and coolant in your car.
- Don't
ship your belongings in the car. Items might be stolen or
while in transit and are not insured by the carrier.
Drive-away
services are the alternative to you driving or shipping your
car. Companies advertise for drivers to transport your vehicle
to your destination. These drivers are always screened and
fingerprinted before they are hired but are not necessarily
professionals.
- You
don't have to drive your own car.
- You
can pack some of your belongings in the truck.
- The
cost is reasonably low compared to shipping.
- You
risk the liability of having another individual drive your
car.
- The
time of arrival is not guaranteed.
- Extra
mileage adds to the wear on your car and increases the potential
for breakdown.
