Shipping A Classic Car

If your house were burning would you save your Classic Car before the other people in the house? Because of human emotions it's very common to become attached to your classic vehicle. Our feeling of joy and sorrow are not only affected by other people, but by our prized possessions too. Because of this attachment we are more likely to do things to preserve and protect these items from possible harm.

Shipping a Car as a College Student

Believe it or not, the American student population represents a decent portion of the car shipping market. With so many different colleges and universities spread out across the country, many students can’t make the drive, so they either ship their vehicles or have their parents help them ship it. With the end of the school year hitting for most colleges across the country and just a couple short months for summer classes and then fall semester rolls around, it is a great time to start looking at how you will get your car shipped home for the summer and back to campus next semester! Why should a student ship their car? Shipping your car is good because, not only is it generally cheaper and safer for the student to ship a vehicle than drive it the same distance, especially if there’s thousands of miles in between, but also [...]

Open Car Shipping vs Enclosed Car Shipping

Even if this is your first time shipping a car, we bet you have already figured out or guessed that there are several different types of auto transport trucks on the road today, and not all of them provide the same type of services. When driving around you will often see both types: the more obvious open carriers, and the harder to pick out enclosed carriers. Both types of carriers will provide you door-to-door auto transportation as their standard method, but the protection that your vehicle gets from an open carrier as opposed to an enclosed carrier will be much different. Carrier availability will depend very much on where you’re shipping from and to and also the time of year and what type of vehicle you are shipping. These different factors can play a major difference in the prices that you pay and the services that you receive. The type [...]

Myths about Car Shipping and Auto Transport

Many people think that they can save time and money by working directly with an auto transport carrier rather than dealing with an auto transport broker. It can be quite a struggle to find a carrier that will be traveling on your exact route—more so, to find more than one in order to compare quotes. It is also common to end up paying more when the carrier has to set up times with you, handle all the paper work, and possibly work things out with the people where the car is going. Finding a reputable auto transport broker means working with someone who will not only help you to find the best deal, but who will also handle all the details for you to ensure the car shipping process go smoothly.
