Tips for Long-Distance Car Shipping: Special Considerations

Driving your own car can be challenging, especially if you have a large family. Do you have a group of two or three experienced drivers? And can they each afford to take several days off work to drive the lengthy journey safely? Remember to include in the expense of gas, hotel, and food along the way. A 3,000-mile cross-country trip, for example, will necessitate nine tanks of gas, three or four nights in a motel, and possibly a dozen meals. That may easily exceed $1,000. If you're doing your own relocation, you'll also need a driver or two for the moving truck.

And, while towing your own car may appear simple, you risk damaging it if you lack the necessary tools and expertise. 

Finally, you could sell your automobile and get a new one once you arrive at your destination, but odds are you'd rather keep your car. Furthermore, selling and buying a car in a hurry does not result in the greatest prices. When you consider the added time and hassle of the sales and purchasing process, this choice may not make sense.

Shipping a car relieves you of the burden of transporting your vehicle while providing you confidence that it will arrive safely. This is especially useful for long-distance relocations.

• Significant time savings
• Convenience and ease of use
• Your car will have less wear and tear.
• Most places offer door-to-door delivery.
• If necessary, multiple automobiles can be shipped.

While it has numerous advantages, there are several things to consider when utilizing an auto shipping firm to transfer your car. 

To get an accurate price, you'll need to know the year, make, and model of your car. The cost may be lower if you drive a small or compact automobile or a motorcycle. The cost may differ for larger or heavier vehicles, modified cars, or RVs, as these would require unique equipment and extra care to assure comprehensive protection.

You may have to choose between an open trailer and an enclosed trailer. With an open trailer, your vehicle will be loaded alongside others, similar to how you might see many automobiles stacked and being dragged behind a large truck on the road. This option exposes your vehicle to weather and road debris. 

Enclosed trailers (both soft-sided and hard-sided) are totally covered and provide additional protection from the elements, dirt, dust, and road debris. Regardless of distance, if you have a high-end vehicle, low clearance sports car, or exotic collection car, an enclosed trailer is suggested, if not required, depending on the characteristics of your vehicle. 

The distance between your locations, as well as the type of areas where the vehicle will be picked up and delivered, will have an impact on your price. Rural to rural, large city to major city, and so on, all have distinct expenses. 

Even lesser routes can take several days or more to complete depending on road conditions, traffic, and weather. Another aspect influencing the timeframe is the quantity of automobiles on the truck and their destination. For instance, nine cars at nine different sites means a lot of stops. Nine autos dumped at four different sites means fewer stops. 

When it comes to insurance coverage, read the fine print. The truck could be involved in an accident while in transit, which is uncommon but possible.
