The Benefits of Having Your Car Shipped

Whether you’re moving for a new job or going to school out of state, how you’ll get there is often the biggest question. This is especially the case if you often have to go back and forth often. Eventually, you’ll be put a lot of mileage on your vehicle. All that wear and tear will soon catch up (not to mention your car’s decreased secondhand value.) By shipping your car you can avoid the hassle of driving yourself. Between miles, gas prices, and time constraints, having your car shipped to your destination with Shipping-A-Car is easier, cheaper and less stressful.

Why Ship a Car?

Shipping a car is might not make sense to some people. After all, why ship a car when you can just drive it yourself? The idea that your transport can need transportation can seem silly.

But despite what it might look like to some people, having a car shipped can have tremendous benefits in some cases. Even though you’ll often be better off driving a car somewhere yourself, there are situations that warrant the use of a car shipping service. In order to make car shipping work for you, it’s good to know when shipping a car can help you save time, money and effort.

Peace of Mind

When you work with Shipping-A-Car, handing over your vehicle isn’t like checking in your luggage at an airport. (Come on now. We all know that dreadful feeling of seeing the suitcase containing all our favorite stuff part ways with us!)

We know it’s hard to let go of your possessions, that’s why we do our best to deliver your car back to you in exactly to condition you handed it over to us. Your peace of mind is our top priority. We want to help you take the stress of driving yourself off your shoulders, but that won’t happen if you have to worry about whether we’ll deliver your car in its original condition and on the date agreed upon.

So, once you’ve handed over your car, relax. Watch some movies or go out for drinks. No need to worry about your car.

Move Your Car Without Moving Yourself

Are you in a different state than your car is at the moment? Do you need to get it to where you are? If you opt for driving it yourself, you’re going to have to arrange for transport to your car before you can start driving.

Gas is already expensive enough, buying a plane ticket to get to your car will make the endeavor even more costly. In this case, shipping your car can definitely pay off. As long as you have a friend or family member to help you prepare the car for shipping and hand it over, making use of auto transport is your best option.

Move More Than One Vehicle

What do you do if you have both a motorbike and a car to move? Driving a car is tiring, but the idea of having to go back and then drive your motorbike after driving your car all that way is the cherry on top. We won’t blame you if you’ve considered selling your bike just so you won’t have to drive it such a long distance.

That said, auto shipping is great because you’ll easily be able to move more than one vehicle at a time, even if you have only one driver. So it doesn’t matter of you have both a truck and sedan, or a motorbike and a station wagon, you can ship both your vehicles at once.

You could also drive the more comfortable vehicle yourself while shipping the one you wouldn’t want to drive that far.

Save Money While Doing What Matters

If you’re shipping your car, that means you’re going places. If you’re going places, you’re might be going through some important life changes, or you have an important event to attend.

Point is, no one wakes up one day and randomly thinks, “Mm, I should really have my car shipped” for no good reason. In our experience car shipping is something people do when they’ve got important things going on in their lives.

And let’s be honest, when you have important things going on, the last thing you want to focus on is moving your car. (Unless you’re taking your baby to a car show or auction of course. In which case your car is the center of attention.)

Driving Yourself Is Not an Adventure

Well, not unless you aren’t able to take a long leave of absence, anyway.

Some people see driving a car to a new destination themselves as a little adventure. But be warned, it gets old pretty fast.

Fact is, you’re not on holiday when you’re moving your car, so don’t expect it to feel like you are. Pretty soon the expenses start piling up – some for gas, some for hotels and others for food and beverages. All this time you’re driving as fast as possible to get to your new destination on time.

You’re spending bucket loads of money and you don’t have time for stopping to enjoy the experience. Such a waste! You could’ve saved that money for a proper holiday, now it’s all spent on business as usual.

Admittedly, many people are surprised when to find out what car shipping really costs. Trust us when we say it’s a pretty big expense. One of those pretty big expenses that might make you sigh on the inside and think “Why do I always end spend my hard earned money on this kind of nonsense instead of having awesome new experiences?”

But at the end of the day, car shipping is often still cheaper than driving the car yourself. So at the very least you’re spending less money and experiencing less stress in the process. That’s assuming you chose a reputable company that will help you ship your car at a reasonable rate.
