Move your car
Your first or second most valuable asset is your car. Relocating
can be stressful enough without having to worry if your car
will make it. Our auto shipping
tips and car transport
frequently asked questions and information will help you
move your car.
Auto transport carriers ship your car without you having
to drive it. All auto transport companies have different rates
and services so it's hard to give you a guideline on what
to look out for when choosing an auto shipping company. Here's
a start on varying car move types.
Auto Transport 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.
