Auto Transport Companies in Miami

Posted on January 02, 2012 by Cat


Auto transport is a very popular service throughout Florida, as many people live transient lives whereby they go to the warmer weather when it is cold in their other home. Of course for years there have been jokes about the elderly retiring to Florida, but now with so many people being able to live in flexible locations because of their careers, it is becoming more important for them to be able to find ways to move a car easily and quickly, and of course using the most cost effective method as possible.

If you are one of the many people with a home in Miami and a home elsewhere, then using an auto transport company to get your vehicle from one place to another can be a very useful service to have. Thats why lots of people in this situation are looking for great auto transport companies that can move a car conveniently to wherever they are going to be living.

You might not have thought that this would be the most cost effective solution, but when you now consider the cost of gas, then you can see why more and more people are turning to auto transport companies to help them make the move.

Annie, who has a home in South Beach, is one such Miami resident who says that using an auto transport company has made her life much easier.
My neighbor was going to visit the Grand Canyon, and told me that instead of driving all that way, she was flying to Flagstaff and has arranged to move a car that she would collect when she arrived. Her trip was two months long and the cost savings against car rental was enormous. When we were in the position that we wanted to go to our house in Vail for the winter, we decided to investigate whether auto transport would work for us.

The company I called explained everything I would need to know to move a car, and gave me the cost over the phone. We would be without a vehicle for 3 days during the transport, but that wasnt an issue as we mainly walk to everything we need in South Beach. That was five years ago, and each winter when we go to our apartment in Vail, I use the same auto transport company. It makes our lives easier and we save money, I couldnt be happier.

Car Transport Reviews

Posted on December 17, 2011 by Cat

Car transport is a service that you may need to use, and if you do, you will want to find some reviews from good auto transport companies. Here are some reviews of car transport below so that you can see what people think of using this sort of service, and whether you would want to use it for yourself.

I found out about car transport when I was looking for a way to get my car from Miami back to Aspen for the winter. I didnt want to drive the long haul, so my good friend suggested that an auto transport service would be a good way to move my car. I was surprised how easy the whole process was, they were happy to answer all my questions and give me the information I needed. Next summer, I will be using a car transport service for the reverse leg of the journey.

My elderly mother wanted to give me her car, but my schedule didnt give me the time I needed to drove back from Boston to Sacramento. So I looked into car transport companies and they were able to provide me with the exact service that I needed to use. Everything went so simply, and my mothers wishes were met without me wasting my holiday time driving. I got to spend longer with my mother thanks to the use of auto transport.

Ive been using car transport services for many years. As a collector of motor vehicles, I find this the easiest way to relocate my finds. Although I have had a few incidents through the years whereby some vehicles have had minor stone chips, they have always been repaired without any inconvenience to me. I will continue to use auto transport services as long as I am a car collector.

We used an auto transport service when we were moving house due to a relocation through a job. The company paid for the bill, but it was up to us to arrange the car transport and deal with the company. They were very professional, collected and delivered the vehicle within the set time frame and also gave us updates along the way.

These are just a few reviews if car transport and the different ways that people use the services available. To find car transport that is right for your own circumstances, you should talk to a local car transport operator.

My Car Transport Experience

Posted on December 09, 2011 by Cat

My first car transport experience was something that I never realized I would need to do, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions that I made, because it meant that it made my move so much easier than if I had driven my car to the new destination.

My sister suggested to me that I use a car moving company to help with my relocation because she had previously done that and said that it made moving so much easier than she could ever had imagined. I found that difficult to understand, but now that I have made the move to using car transport, I can surely say that I would never go back to driving my car whenever I needed to do a relocation. It was so much easier than driving.

When I called the car transport company, they were very helpful and informative, and they guided me in the right direction about what I would need. I asked them what was available and if there was a car transport option that would suit my budget, which I was worried about because I didnt have a lot of money, and I thought that I should maybe just pay for the gas for the move which would be cheaper.

I was relieved to hear that it would cost me less to use the car transport company than it would to pay for gas. In fact, everything suited me so well that I was surprised by how easy it would all be and how I could easily coordinate my move with the dates for car moving, so that I wouldnt be without my car for too long. This meant that I was happy that I could make my move easily, without any inconvenience.

The car transport company told me that I would need insurance for the move and that would be included in the cost of the car moving. The insurance meant that I was covered in the event that there was an incident during the car transport, I would not have to pay out any additional money, and my car would be repaired.

I was so happy with the way that the car transport worked, that I would definitely use the service again and would recommend it to others. My move was easy and my car was returned in one piece, so everything went as I would have hoped.

How Do I Move My Car

Posted on December 04, 2011 by Cat

One of the biggest questions that I had when I was moving house was How Do I Move My Car? It might sound like a strange question to ask but when you are already driving your own furniture removal truck, then relocating a vehicle can cause real problems. Yes I know that there are some trucks that you can tow a car trailer behind for the move, but unfortunately ours was the wrong size, and the people who were helping me move already had their own cars to drive to my new house.

So this left us with the burning question about the best way to move my car. We deliberated over it for a few days, and even discussed driving back and forth so that we could move all the vehicles with the number of people that we had, but when we worked out time and gas costs it was just too much. That was when one of my friends suggested that to move my car we could find a company that would specialize in relocating a vehicle. When she said it, it was like the answer had been there all along, but we totally missed it.

So I started ringing round different companies and told them what I would need to be able to move my car. They advised me of their different schedules and when they would be able to arrange the transport that would fit in with my needs. I was quite worried because I knew that I needed my car close to when I made my move, but it had to be gone before I left because the new owners were moving straight in. The transport company told me not to worry, as they were used to these scenarios when relocating a vehicle.

They were professional and courteous when they came to move my car. I was given all the correct paperwork and told to expect the delivery in around three days. In those days I packed up my house and drove to my new home. Everything went perfectly. The transporter truck arrived the same day I did, it was ideal timing for relocating a vehicle. Everything was in order and I really couldnt have been more thankful about the lack of stress that using this service caused. I saved money and time, and everything arrived as it left. I certainly would use this service if I ever need to move my car again.

Reviews of Car Shipping

Posted on December 02, 2011 by Cat

Are you looking for some reviews of car shipping services? Well you have come to the right place! There are many people who search for different reviews of auto transport because they have heard that its a good idea to read some reviews so that you can decide which shipping company is the one that you want to use. So below you will find some reviews that we have received from clients about the shipping service that they utilized.

I was very surprised with what a professional car shipping service this was. At first I thought that the price would mean that I would have had to compromise on service, but that certainly wasnt the case. Your staff and your vehicles could not have been better and I am happy to say that my own car arrived safely in Albuquerque. Ill be using you again when I next make a big move.

My friend Billy told me to check you out when I bought a car on eBay. I did do a bit of shopping around but no one else could beat your price for auto transport. I spoke to the seller and told them what would be happening, and he was happy to speak to your guys to make collection arrangements. I was worried that since I didnt get the chance to see the car in person that if there was any damage that happened during transit, then you would just pretend it was already there. I shouldnt have worried, everything was fine. With the cost of car shipping and the price I paid for the car, I still saved a load on my local dealers price. Couldnt be happier.

Id never used a car shipping service before, but I was really put to ease by your staff who answered all my questions when I made the booking. Everyone was extremely polite and they bent over backwards to meet my needs. My first auto transport experience was all I could have hoped for.

Weve been using your auto transport business for years and keep coming back as you constantly achieve the high standards that you promise.

I Need Car Tranpost

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Cat

I need car transport to move my car from Boston to St Louis, and so I was looking online to find out which transport services are available in my area and what I should be looking at paying for the move. The reason that I need car transport is that I dont want to drive over such a long distance, especially when I dont really know the roads and I dont have the time to drive for five days to get to my destination. I decided that a car transport company was the best option after talking to some of my friends who told me that it wasnt as expensive as I might have thought and telling me that it would be much better to move my car this way.

I was really surprised how many car transport companies are out there offering all sorts of transport services. I even laughed when I heard that there are some companies where you take your car and they find someone else to drive it on your behalf, because they want a cheap way to move around the country. It was quite amazing that this is known as a transport service, but I was worried that my car might not be reliable enough, or the driver might cause some sort of damage and I would end up with a big bill, so I decided that the transport services that were right for me would definitely include the use of a real car transport company who would move my car on the back of a truck.

I contacted a few different car transport places and told them what I wanted, and they told me whether it was something that they could do or not. I was surprised how accommodating that they all were and they told me that what I was looking for was definitely possible, and estimated how long the move would take to get from a to b.

When I need car transport to happen, I like many people dont have much time to get it done, so it was important for me to find a company that would work with my timeframe. Many transport services were not able to do that due to their schedules so I was committed to using a company that could work with me, rather than worrying about finding who was cheapest for me to use.

Car Carrier Reviews

Posted on November 07, 2011 by Cat

If you are thinking of using a car carrier, you may be wondering where you can find some reviews from other people who have used the services of auto movers so that you can decide whether or not this is the right service for you to use. So here we have put together some car carrier reviews from different customer experiences.

I just wanted to say that you for the car carrier service that you provided for us last month. My vehicle arrived safely in Savannah and I was able to start work on time thanks to using your service. I certainly wouldnt hesitate to use auto movers again to make my move.

My son used your car carrier service after college and we recently needed to relocate our own car to our holiday home in Florida. Your service was extremely prompt and the professionals who collected our car were very pleasant and made sure that they loaded onto the truck carefully. We arrived in Florida the day before our car, and again the delivery was smooth and we were glad to see that everything arrived in one piece. Thank you very much to auto movers.

Auto movers were an absolute savior when our usual car carrier let us down to move our car to a show in California. As it turns out, our car won that show and we were then offered a price that was too good to refuse so making the move turned out great for us. As seasoned customers of a car carrier service I can truly say that what you offered us was far superior and the equipment that turned up to collect the vehicle was in perfect condition.

Your staff were so incredibly knowledgeable and even although our car is rare, they showed that they had experience in using the gentle touch to put our minds at ease. Anyway, I just wanted to say that Im glad we found you and when we get our next collector car, you will be the first car carrier that we use to move a car.

These are just a few of the many reviews that we receive from people who have used auto movers to relocate their vehicle and if you have any queries at all about what we can do for you, or if you are wondering what the cost of the relocation that you need may be, then feel free to drop us a line, were waiting to hear from you!

Relocate My Cars with Auto Shipping

Posted on October 29, 2011 by Cat

I am a classic car collector and have five vehicles that I currently keep housed in my barn in South Dakota. They got there because six months ago I had to move from Washington, and I decided to relocate my cars with auto shipping.

I dont know if you have ever used an auto shipping company, but I have to tell you when it came to the time to relocate my cars I was quite apprehensive because it was something that I had never done before and I needed to find out the most economical way to make the move, as well as the best way to ensure that I would get my vehicles safely to their new home. Like many car lovers, I am quite pedantic about my vehicles and so I needed to find an auto shipping company that had dealt with classic vehicles.

I was surprised when I called around and found that many of the companies were not willing to ship my cars because of the fact that they were collector cars and were not covered by their insurance. I thought this was something that would have been standard but I found that insurance limitations held by some companies meant that my vehicles were excluded and the additional premiums that would have needed to have been paid were too high.

So I kept calling and then found an auto shipping company that would relocate my cars, and even suggested the different methods that they could use to ensure that everything arrived safely. Its such a relief when you find a business that has dealt with collector cars previously, as they understand the extra care that they need to take when undertaking the shipping.

When it came to the time to relocate my cars, I decided to opt for an open transport trailer as I was told that the damage that occurs from the road is negligible, and I wasnt so worried about minor scratches, more major damage that would cause issues trying to get hold of replacement parts.

The auto shipping company was very professional and took great care loading my cars on the trailer I felt like I was in safe hands, and looked forward to seeing my vehicles in South Dakota. Im pleased to say that everything went well, and I would very gladly recommend auto shipping companies to others with classic cars that need to be moved.

Car Carriers to Move His Car

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Cat

My son has just graduated college and was offered a job in Kansas City with a large construction firm, and so we decided to look into using car carriers to move his car from college so that he wouldnt have to drive. Of course, if this had been a road trip with friends, it might have been a different scenario, but we decided that since he was going alone it would be safer to find someone else to relocate the vehicle.

I started out by asking my local car dealer if they used any car carriers with their business, and they were quite helpful but the problem was that everyone they usually used would only deal with businesses that were shipping multiple cars. We only had one car to move, and didnt have a business so that was a dead end street. But the good thing was that when I was talking to these car carriers they told me some of the things that I needed to look out for when we were moving his car such as being sure that the transport company had the right licenses, which I didnt know anything about, and they told me that if I felt suspicious of any car carriers I should just call the department of transport to check.

I then went on the computer and looked for local car carriers to move his car from home and found out that there were thousands of results that came up. The problem was that I didnt really know where to start, so I decided to start ringing them and get quotes for the move. Every time I spoke to someone they would give me a little information that I needed and sometimes that would spur me to ask a question on the next call. For example, I never realized that not all car carriers were including insurance in their quote. And whats more, some of the so-called companies I was calling were actually going to just get someone else to drive the car to the destination, which wasnt what I wanted at all.

I eventually chose a car carriers that were able to load the car onto a full size trailer and move it for a good price, including insurance. The move took less that one week and we were all very happy with the results to move his car to Kansas City.

Relocate My Company Car

Posted on October 21, 2011 by Toni

My boss told me in April that I would have to move to our Denver office in July, and while my position would be the same, there were somethings that needed to be sorted out, such as moving my company car. I had never gone about relocating my car previously and so I didnt know where to start. I called our head office who advised that this was a fairly regular thing to do, and that there were businesses that they dealt with in regard to the company car and that they would be able to help me relocate my car.

I was quite unsure of the whole process, and of course at the same time I was still taking care of my every day jon, so you can imagine how I was getting stressed about the whole thing. When I rang the company car people, they told me that they would need some details to pass on to the broker who would be able to arrange to relocate my car. They emailed me through a form that asked for the make and model of my car, as well as the relocation details. Of course, they would be able to take care of the rest.

Probably something that was different about this instance to relocate my car, was that while my boss is very cost conscious, I didnt have to make a huge effort to get the best price, I just had to make sure that we were not getting ripped off for the service to relocate my car.

I was very happy with what the company car people did, they asked me a few more questions about the move, and then the pickup day came and it was loaded on a truck. The next time that I would see the vehicle was to be in Denver, which would be in less than a week.

When I arrived at our Denver office, my company car was parked in the car park waiting for me, and I couldnt have been more overjoyed about how easy the whole process had been. I thought that to relocate my car would have been an annoying process, but in fact, it was very stress free and the company that handled everything were great. I now know that if I ever have to go through this process again, I would not hesitate to use the same broker to relocate my company car.

Safe Car Transport with Car Carriers

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Cat

I dont know about you, but I am quite pedantic about my vehicle. Even although its nothing special, it holds lots of personal memories and so when I needed to move, I knew that I needed to use a safe car transport company as I certainly would not have been happy with just any car carriers taking my vehicle and causing any sort of damage.

So my first port of call was online, where I decided to do some research about car carriers in the local area and discover who it was that people were recommending and which provided safe car transport. I was shocked to find that there were many complaints against some of the bigger companies who had appeared to be professional outfits. Of course, I took this all with a pinch of salt, but some of the negative reviews that I found seemed to be fairly realistic.

It was then that I thought I would ask around my friends to find out if any of them had used car carriers to move vehicles at any point. I was amazed to find out that even although my friends hadnt directly used this service, they were happy to refer me to others who had used safe car transport companies and would be able to recommend to me the best ones to use. Everyone was so incredibly friendly, and I was grateful of the advice that they gave me in relation to my questions.

When I then looked back on the internet about the car carriers my acquaintances had suggested, I found that people were happy with their service, and that although there had been some incidents, these were to be expected and so I decided to make the call to these car carriers to get pricing to move my car. I was very happy with the prices that they game back to me with and so I decided to ask a few more questions and get some written quotes so that I could decide which of these businesses would be the best for me to use.

Once I had written quotes, I was able to compare what was on offer and could decide which of these safe car transport companies that I could use for my move. I was very happy with the outcome of this and my car arrived safely at its destination on time and without any incidents.

Auto Transport in the USA

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Cat

In the USA, auto shipping is a service that provided transport of vehicles, whether that is for private individuals or corporate businesses, from one place to another in the country. With the growth of the internet, one of the biggest forms of auto transport is the movement of vehicles from a seller to a buyer. In addition, some auto transport companies also provide a service to move cars outwith the country, meaning that they can ship to Canada, Mexico or further afield. Of course, with the size of our country, auto transport is a vital service to help move cars easily, cheaply and quickly.

In general, there are four different types of auto transport that are used in the USA, they are: road transport, rail transport, air transport and freight transport. Road transport is generally the most popular option, and is also the cheapest. In recent years, the biggest users of auto transport to move cars were car manufacturers and dealers themselves, as with the distances between factory and country wide dealers, it was easiest and cheapest to mass move vehicles on auto transport trucks.
Lately, the growth of the internet has seen a change in this market, and its now commonplace for the public to be seeking out auto transport companies to move cars that they have purchased online. Part of this growth has been from online auction sites which have seen cars sell quickly and cheaply all over the country and have encouraged buyers to purchase far and wide, knowing that they can easily use an auto transport company to move their new car to their home.

The main challenge that the US auto transport industry has had to meet of late is the growing cost of gas and therefore the increasing cost to move cars. It has been an unfortunate side effect of everything that has happened in the last decade, and with the recent economic turndown, the auto transport industry has suffered.

Never the less, with the ongoing popularity for buying on line, and manufacturers still producing cars, there is still a demand for auto transport. In what is considered to be the largest auto transport industry in the world, much of our economy is reliant on the ability to move cars from one place to another. Its not something that we immediately consider as crucial to our country, but without auto transport, the immense size of our country would become apparent.

Car Shipping Reviews

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Cat

Many people who use car shipping services will offer reviews of what they have experienced with different transport companies. Here are some snippets from different reviews, which will give you a good idea about things that you should be looking out for.

I used a car shipping company to move my car from Alberta to New York State where I was starting a new job. Although I was happy with the service that they provided, I didnt realise the amount of time that it would actually take to move my car which meant that I was without my vehicle for about a week. Next time, I will plan more effectively, but overall I was happy with the transport companies service.

When I needed, at the last minute, to go and visit my ailing mother in Ohio, I used a car shipping company to take my every day drive to her home so that I could fly there and arrive immediately. I was so happy with the service that they offered, and I was also incredibly pleased with the low price that it cost. In fact, I would have spent more on gas if I had driven myself. I certainly would recommend that others use the services of transport companies if they need to move vehicles to different places.

I have used car shipping companies all my life, as I am involved with car racing and sometimes it is easier for me to use someone elses services rather than move a car myself. I have always been happy with the service that I have received, especially as my vehicle is specialized and I worry that damage may occur. The transport companies that I have used always take care of my car and t always arrives in time for my race.

When my father died I needed to move his 1956 Chevy from his barn. Although we only live a hundred miles away, it hadnt been driven for a while and I was reluctant to make the trip. SO we found some transport companies and used them to take care of the car shipping so that we could organize everything else that needed doing. The car arrived safely, quickly and in one piece. It was so convenient using this service and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is in the same position as us and needs to move a car whether it be over short or long distance.

Car Moving for Street Rods

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Cat

My husband is the proud owner of a 1932 Ford Coupe, but he recently decided to sell it and so we needed to find a car moving company as the buyer was located interstate. We called various friends who are also car enthusiasts to see if they had any specific advice that we could use to best move our car, and whether we should use a trailer as a form of do it yourself move, or if there was another option.

Our main issue was the cost of gas. Because the buyer was interstate, it would cost a small fortune to drive the car there on a trailer and then have to drove all the way home again, and many of the companies that we contacted were asking for more than $2000 to move our car. Of course, this was too much and so we eventually were put onto a car moving company that specialized in moving vehicles all over the country and had experience moving classic and collector cars.

Its important to remember that my husband is pedantic about this vehicle, as he built it from the ground up, and even although he was selling it, he needed to make sure that everything was just find and no ordinary car moving company would do. The company that we used arrange a tilt tray truck to come and collect the car from our home before, it was driven to a central deport to be loaded onto an interstate car carrier trailer. It would take three days for the car to be moved to its new location, and the car carrier would tell us if there was anything that they needed to know while they move our car.

Im glad to say that everything went off without a hitch. The car was loaded onto the interstate trailer and the car moving company got it to its destination on time. It arrived in perfect condition and the new owner was very happy. This was the first time that we had ever used a car moving company for anything like this, so Im pleased that they were professional when moving our car. I couldnt have been happier that it all got there on time and we were able to make the exchange with the buyer as agreed. In the future, I certainly wouldnt hesitate to use a car moving service for anything else that we may need.

Auto Shipping to Australia

Posted on September 12, 2011 by Cat

I am a car enthusiast with many different classic cars, and my wife is an Australian. We decided after twenty years in the USA that we would like to move to Australia to live out our later years in a warmer climate. My main issue with the move was my cars, as I knew they were very expensive in Australia and I certainly did not want to give up my collection. That was when my wife suggested that we investigate using an auto shipping company to relocate my cars to Australia.

I had never really thought about auto shipping as my vehicles were always driven everywhere that we needed to go, but my wife assured me that many different people do this and if I could relocate my cars, it would be far better than buying others down under.

To start the process, I decided to contact some auto shipping companies to find out what would be required to relocate my cars. I soon found out that international moves are not something that every business deals with and so I would have to use a company that specialized in international relocations, and it would be even better if I could find one with experience of moving to Australia.

I was advised that the customs procedures in different countries can vary and by using a professional company they would ensure that all my paperwork was in order and my car was in the correct condition to comply with entry to the country. I never realized any of this previously and had thought that it would have been simply the case of booking a boat to relocate my cars. The auto shipping company that I chose were experts in international moves and ensured that all the correct fumigation was undertaken, as well as cleaning my cars and getting the paperwork in order. I was told that if this had not been done, my cars would have been turned round and sent back to the USa, or even worse, crushed.

In the end, relocating my cars to Australia was incredibly easy because I used a company that had experience in making the move and were able to guide me every step of the way. It only took one month for the move to be completed and the auto shipping company even arranged for them to be delivered to my new home without any inconvenience to me or my wife.

How Do You Ship A Car?

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Cat

When I first heard that my position in the company was being relocated to Dallas, Texas, my boss told me that I could ship a car to my new destination so that I wouldnt be inconvenienced with the long drive and he could ensure there was minimum down time from my position. I never knew that this was something that was possible, so when I learned that there were many auto transport companies in the USA that could provide this service, I decided to do some investigation and discover the best possible way to make this service work well for both me and my company.

As no one in my company had used an auto transport company before, I had to learn how to ship a car, and where the best place was to make arrangements for them to come and collect my car and then deliver it to Dallas in time for me starting my new job. I rang around some different companies that I had found on the internet and asked them whether they were able to provide a general shipping service that would suit my needs.

I found a transport company that was able to collect my car from work and deliver it to Texas in just one week. When I rang to make arrangements I had a list of questions to ask and the customer service representative was very helpful in answering my queries. I was interested to learn that there were schedules which the auto transport company would work to and they were able to collect my car within a set time frame which was suitable for me making my move.

I was surprised to find out that I would need additional insurance as my regular car insurance did not cover the carriage of my car on an auto transport truck. When I asked whether that was entirely necessary, I was advised that it was advisable to take out insurance whenever you ship a car as although accidents are rare, if something happens its better to be safe than sorry.

I found the whole service to be extremely professional and I was very happy with how everything went when we made the move. Now I have learned how to ship a car, I will be happy to make arrangements for friends and colleagues in the same situation who could utilise auto transport services to make their move easier.

Arranging Car Transport for the Elderly

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Cat

When my mother decided that she would like to spend the winters in Florida with her sister, her main concern was that she didnt want to be inconvenienced and so she wanted to ensure that she could take her car so she would be mobile while she was away. Of course, driving to relocate a car was much too large a task, as we live in Denver, but my Aunt suggested that we investigate using a car transport service that she had heard many others in her living complex use.


I had never thought of using car transport to help my mother, simply because I thought it was something that people did when they were auto retailers, not everyday people like us. My Aunt said in fact it was very popular for people to use car transport to relocate a car to Florida, whether they were going for a short time or to move permanently. She gave me the names of some companies so I could call and get some prices and find out what the best way for my mother to move her car would be.


I was pretty impressed with the service and knowledge that the customer service people from the car transport company gave. They told me how long the average relocation from Colorado to Florida would take, and the typical price to relocate a car the size of my mothers. Im pleased to say we made the reservation and that everything when off without a hitch. My mother enjoyed her stay in Florida and we will certainly do the same next year.

When I Used Auto Shipping

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Cat

I recently graduated from college and it was time to make the big move to the city to start a new job. Luckily, I wasnt moving to New York, I was moving Los Angeles which of course meant that I would definitely need a car to get around. So for this reason, I decided to investigate using a auto shipping company to move my car because I didnt want to drive from Ohio State all the way to California.

My parents were happy about my making this decision to use an auto shipping company because they didnt want me to be on the road by myself for such a long time, just in case I had a breakdown or ended up on roads that I was unfamiliar with. Its funny because even although I have been driving for 5 years, they still worry that I dont have enough experience for moving cars.

It was good because at my college, there was a auto shipping firm who advertised their services to all the graduates, because this is turning out to be a really popular way of moving cars because so many of us travel such a long distance once we graduate and start our first job.

I was really happy when I spoke to the auto shipping people on the phone, they were friendly and helpful and made sure that I got a good deal for my move. My car was collected from college and while I packed up my belongings and flew to LA, it was being transported to my new home.

Custom Car Shipping

Posted on July 04, 2011 by Cat

I own a vintage custom hot rod, and every time I take it to a car show I need to find a good car shipping company to move my car. The reason for this is that if I drive my car on the road, I will inevitably get stone chips and other damage happening to my car and of course this is a bad situation when you have a valuable vehicle which must stay in pristine show condition.

Custom car shipping can be a stressful thing to have to do, which is why when I finally should a company to move my car I stuck with them because their service was great and I could trust them to move my car without any big worry and knowing that it would arrive at its destination safely.

Whats more, I found that using this sort of moving service was far less expensive than I ever could have imagined. In fact, it cost less to use a car shipping service than it would have cost me in gas for my car. It was strange, because some companies that I spoke to, as soon as I mentioned that I was shipping a custom car, they said that the price would be much more expensive, I think simply because the assumed I had a lot of money to spend because of owning a vintage vehicle.

Im vehicle happy with the car shipping company that I use to move my car and would certainly recommend them to others who are in the same situation.

My Experience of Car Shipping

Posted on July 02, 2011 by Cat

I recently used a car shipping company because I was getting married and moving to Colorado to start a new job. Since I lived in Oregon, I wasnt keen on the long drive on boring roads so I decide to look into different options for moving a car and I found that there were lots of different services that I could use.

One thing to note is that unfortunately train wasnt an option because there are no services between the two locations that I was travelling, so I had to look for alternative options. I found out that my car would have to go by road and that I would have the choice of someone driving my car for me, or alternatively it could go on a transport trailer.

I contacted some different car shipping businesses and asked for some quotes for moving. I found that if I was flexible with the times and dates that I could travel it was much cheaper than if I was just to go straight ahead and tell them exactly when the car needed to be moved. What this meant was that I was without my car for a few days but it didnt matter because of the savings I made on moving a car.

I found the company to be quick and professional and my car arrived safely in Colorado. I was really happy that I didnt have to drive and have kept the mileage down on my car. I would recommend auto shipping to anyone making a move.

College Car Relocation

Posted on June 12, 2011 by Cat

There are so many of our kids who decide to go to college in a different part of the country and as parents, we want to ensure that they arrive safely and will have all the comforts and safety that they would at home. Thats why many parents are choosing car relocation businesses to move their childs vehicle to college so that they will be able to get around their new city safely and in a vehicle that we already know is reliable and well maintained.

Of course, when our children go to college, it is a nerve wracking time as we wonder how they will cope without us. Its good to know that you arent alone and that there are businesses that specialize in college car relocation to ensure our children are well taken care of.

The USA is a big country and I certainly wouldnt want my child to have to drive over large distances to make their way to college. Thats why I choose to do a vehicle move with a relocation company. It gave me peace of mind to know that my daughter could fly to college instead of driving on unknown roads. Im pleased to say that the company we used was professional and made everything so easy for us, not to mention the fact that their price was exceptionally low. We felt comfortable with the decision that we made and were very happy that we chose this sort of car relocation for our college.

Car Shipping Saves Gas

Posted on June 05, 2011 by Cat

I recently did a dity move because I was getting married and moving to Las Vegas. My family thought that putting all our belongings in a U haul truck and towing our car behind would make the most sense, and they told me that car shipping services and furniture movers would cost much more. We live in Scottsbluff, Nevada so the journey was a few days through Colorado and Arizona, but what we never expected was how much gas we used for our dity move.

Those little U Haul trucks are expensive and suck down gas, so every day we were spending $150 on our move. That wasnt to mention how much money we spent on motels and food plus everything else that we bought on the journey. If we had accounted all of this we would have used car shipping services instead of making the drive by ourselves but we stupidly listened to bad advice from people who didnt know.

When I spoke to a car shipping company about the move, they told me a very reasonable quote which would have left me to fly to Las Vegas and save a week of journey time. The journey wasnt very pleasant either as there was still snow on the roads and it rained a lot. I didnt enjoy the dity move and wish we had done it differently. If we ever move again, just to save on gas costs I will definitely get a professional to make the move We could have had a proper vacation on arrival in Vegas too. Next time I will know better.

Should I Use a Car Carrier

Posted on May 20, 2011 by Cat

If you are one of the many Americans who has to move for work because of the recent recession, you may be wondering whether you should use a car carrier service to move your vehicle or simply sell your car. Let me tell you from my own perspective when I had to move from Steamboat Springs to Nebraska in search of work earlier this year.

Of course, moving across two states is not a big distance, but I looked at using a car carrier because I simply didnt have time to make the move any other way. I had temporary work in Colorado and was moving straight to a new job in Nebraska without any break. Driving for two days was too much to bear and I thought that maybe selling my car was the best way to go.

Unfortunately, the problem with this was that making a sale would mean losing money due to low demand for used cars. That meant that I researched car carries who move your vehicle quickly for a small fee.

I was surprised by how cheap it was for me to use a car carrier for my medium sized Toyota, and I was pleased that my car would be there in just two days. They told me all the things I needed to know when you move your vehicle so I was prepared when the collection day came. I chose to fly to Lincoln and the next day my car was there, it was simple and hassle free so Im glad I used a car carrier.

Dity Move is It Worthwhile?

Posted on May 15, 2011 by Cat

Dity moving is lessening in popularity in the USA because of the cheap cost of moving a car using professional services that can provide this sort of business for less that it would cost ou to do it yourself. There are many car carriers out there who are able to move your car quickly and professionally and without the time it would take you to move the car yourself.

Saving money has become important in recent years because of the economy and people are always looking for the best deal for whatever it is that they want to buy. Thats why there have been a growing number of car carriers companies that are offering to make the move for you and at a price less than a dity move.

If you are now thinking that you never even thought that there was a cheaper way to move your vehicle other than a dity move, you should know that in recent years, there has been an increase in the price of gas, as well as the cost of maintaining your vehicle. So when you do a dity move with your vehicle, you need to factor in the cost of gas and servicing or repairing your vehicle for wear and tear, and if any damage occurs.

Next time you are undertaking a move of any sort, be sure to investigate how a car carrier company can help you save money and can take the stress out of performing a dity move.

Relocating with Auto Transport Services

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Toni

My mother decided that she wanted to move to Florida to be near her sister, but the drive from Colorado was too far and so we investigated other options as to how she could easily make the move and take her belongings with her. It turned out that the hardest part was moving a car because she didnt want to drive and we were unsure what to do.

That was when my brother mentioned that we should look into auto transport services. I did some research online and found that there were some good companies who would be able to make moving a car an affordable and easy option.

So my mother packed her belongings into a truck and caught a flight to Tampa, while I arranged for her car to be loaded onto an auto transport truck.

The company were friendly and efficient, and the whole process took less than five days. When the car arrived in Tampa, my mother was there to meet the auto transport truck and sign for the collection of the vehicle. She was so happy that she hadnt had to drive on unfamiliar roads and said that the moving a car this way had helped her make the decision to go ahead with the move.

The company was friendly and efficient and we got great value for money. My mother is now mobile with her own car and its all thanks to using an auto transport service. I shall certainly recommend this form of moving a car to others.

Car Transport Moves Leaps and Bounds

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Cat

A few years ago, I remember my father investigating using a car transport company to move his prized 1966 Mustang to a classic car show in Pomona. He grabbed his trusty Yellow Pages and began calling round local auto moving firms to find out about the service they could offer and whether or not he would be interested in using them.

He would frequently hang up the telephone after talking to a car transport company, complaining that they were too expensive, or didnt give him the reassurance that they were going to look after his baby to the standard he wanted. In the end, the car didnt go to the show and my father frowned upon the car transport industry.

That was until this year, when he decided that he wanted to take his car to a 45 year anniversary muster that was being held in Michigan. This time, it was the internet that we used to find a reliable car transport company and discover what was on offer. My father was thrilled to hear that he could use an enclosed auto moving trailer to ensure that there would be no damage to his vehicle.

Whats more, the price was far more reasonable than those quotes he had previously got. The car transport company were professional, showed that they cared about the vehicle, and ensured that my father was happy before they started on the journey. He was thrilled with the service, loved the car show and will certainly use this auto moving firm in the future.

DITY Moves Can Be Expensive

Posted on March 04, 2011 by Cat

I recently did a comparison between a DITY move and using a car relocation service. It came about quite accidentally, as my parents were moving from Southern Cali over to Florida to be near friends. Of course, they wanted to take both their cars with them, but my mother refuses to drive more than 100 miles, never mind three thousand.

So we investigated our options, and found that we could use a car mover to relocate her vehicle, and my father would make the drive along with mother and their Chihuahuas. Driving as a form of car relocation was not daunting to my father, who spent many years on the road in his sales job.

Once my mothers car was collected from their CA home, they were free to make the move. They had sold much of their furniture and had already sent their personal effects over on removal truck. My father noted that it would be interesting to see how much money he spent on gas in comparison to the cost of the car relocation service.

Their DITY move went well, they had the time to make frequent stops as they no longer work, and they were happy to amble along at their own pace. Of course, they spent a considerable amount of money on hotels, not to mention the stops for gas every 300 miles.

When they reached their destination, my father called to say that the DITY move had been much more expensive than he anticipated. The cost of the car relocation was almost half of the amount the DITY move proved to cost. In future, both cars will be sent with a car moving company, and my parents will make the easy flight back to Southern Cali.

Personal Car Relocation Experience

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Cat

I used a car relocation service when I got a new job in Chicago. My reason for needing the services of an auto transporter was that I wanted to take a break in between my career change and if I was to drive all the way from Miami up to Chicago, I simply wouldnt have had the time for my vacation.

So I searched in local papers and found that there were lots of different car relocation companies that would be able to help me out, but as nice as their adverts were, I didnt know which one I could trust. So what I did was jump on the internet and found some reviews about different companies and hear other peoples experiences.

I was pleased when I found out that there were some positive reviews and some others which warned me to stay away from companies that had given people bad experiences. I decided to use carmoves, because lots of people were saying positive things about their car relocation service and since I hadnt used an auto transporter before, this was the only thing that I could use a basis for trust.

I was really pleased with my experience. Their service was prompt and efficient and my car was delivered on time. I would certainly recommend them if anyone was looking for a car relocation service that is reasonably priced and provides good service, and will use them again if I ever need to move to any other part of the country.

Vehicle Relocation Insurance

Posted on February 05, 2011 by Cat

One of my friends recently hired a vehicle relocation company to move his car from New York, where he had been working back to his parents home in Texas. He figured that using the service would be better than driving as it would mean that he could make the journey is a shorter time, and he didnt have enough money to cover the cost of the gas that he would need to make the move.

So he found a vehicle relocation business that advertised in the local newspaper and decided to book them to transport his car in early February. When he was talking to them, the representative mentioned insurance, but since he was tight on cash, and his car was already insured, he figured this was something that he didnt need.

The car was collected by the vehicle relocation company and was loaded on its way back to Texas. My friend was happy that he chose to move his car this way, and jumped on a airplane to his parents house. Six days later the vehicle relocation company delivered his car and he was heartbroken. On the journey, a dump truck has lost its load of rock and several had bounced right over my friends car. There were many dents all over the roof and the windscreen was smashed.

Because this happened during vehicle relocation, his regular insurance wouldnt pay out and so my friend had to pay for the repairs out of his own pocket. He realizes now that vehicle relocation insurance is really important, because you dont know what will happen on the road.

My Experience Relocating My Car

Posted on January 08, 2011 by Cat

When I was relocating my car from Boston after college I investigated all the different possibilities so that I could make sure that I got the best possible solution for me and that I would get the most for the little money that I had, and that I wouldnt be inconvenienced.

I was moving to San Francisco to start a corporate job and driving was not an option for relocating my car. For one, I didnt have enough time to make the move between ending my studies and starting my career. That was when I learned about auto shipping businesses that would do the job for me, so that I wouldnt have to worry about relocating my car myself.

I was concerned about the cost of auto shipping, so I did some investigations and asked my parents if they could give me any advice. My father advised that his friends had used an auto shipping business previously, and that this would most likely be the best way for me relocating my car.

I rang around some different businesses and got quotes to make the move and then I found a business that could provide the best service that I could afford for relocating my car and they were able to make the auto transport within the time frame that I required.

Im pleased to say that the service that I received was excellent and my car arrived on time and in perfect condition. I would certainly recommend auto shipping as the best way for anyone to move their car.

What Kind Of Truck Will Be Used For Auto Shipping?

Posted on September 17, 2010 by Cat

Auto shipping is something that I have never used until recently and my main concern was what kind of truck would be used for moving my car? Of course, this might not be something that you think of immediately, but when you first start looking at auto shipping options, like me you will see that moving my car comes with a lot of different options.

My thoughts of auto shipping were those big tractor trailers that you see on the highway with lots of cars stacked on two levels. But was this the way I wanted to be moving my car, or could I choose something else? As it turned out, when I called the auto shipping company I learned that moving my car could be done with much smaller hot rod trucks, or even in enclosed trailers if I didnt want to go the usual car transport truck.

At first I was quite surprised there were so many choices for auto shipping, and then a friend told me that tow trucks were also sometimes used to move your car. The main thing I have found about the kind of truck that is used for auto shipping is that whatever you pick can affect the price. Of course, I chose and enclosed trailer or single vehicle hot rod truck for moving my car it was more expensive that a multi vehicle car transport truck. The auto shipping company told me that the main choice is dependent on the type of car you want to move, so I asked them for advice about the best truck for moving my car, and I was very happy with the price and service that I received.

How Do I Start Car Transport or Book A Shipment?

Posted on August 29, 2010 by Cat

When I realized that I needed to use a car transport service for my personal needs the first thing that I needed to discover was how to book a shipment. I had never used car transport before and so I didnt know where to start, but I did find that there were many helpful businesses online that were able to give me the information that I needed.

I lived in a small town in Ohio and so finding a car transport service that was close to me was my first task. I actually found that the easiest way to do this was to contact a large car transport agent who would be able to find the best service for me. As it turned out, the place that I wanted to book a shipment didnt advertise to the public, so if I hadnt gone through an agent, I would have been put out of my way arranging car transport.

When I spoke to the agent they were very helpful, they advised me of everything that I needed to know about car transport and also the best way to start to book a shipment. In fact, once I gave them my details, they were happy to make arrangements for me to move a car.

My car transport company arrived as per the schedule and I next saw my car outside my new home. For something that seemed so daunting, Im glad that I chose to use an agent to help me book a shipment as it made everything much easier.

How Far In Advance Should I Plan Car Delivery?

Posted on August 04, 2010 by Cat

When I first realized that I needed a car delivery service to move my vehicle, it was around two weeks before my scheduled move. Having been used to booking last minute flights and hotels online, I though that booking a car delivery would be much the same. Unfortunately I was wrong. When I eventually found a company that could move my vehicle in time, I realized that car delivery is quite a different service to other businesses that Id used before.

The primary difference with booking a car delivery service is that their schedules are planned well in advance and spaces are limited. Unlike hotels and airlines, you may find that the service you choose to move your vehicle only passes through your town once a week. Of course, because I live outwith a large city, when I chose to move my vehicle, the car delivery service were unable to pickup immediately as my required dates conflicted with their schedule.

Perhaps the best thing to realize is that calling a car delivery service as far in advance as possible is the best thing that you can do. Don think like me, that arranging to move my vehicle could be done at the last minute, because the truth is that if you arrange car delivery in advance you will be able to get a better price and the best service to suit your needs. Call a car delivery broker if your move is sooner rather than later and they will be able to get the best deal that will suit your needs.

Who Drives My Car During Auto Shipping?

Posted on July 20, 2010 by Cat

Auto shipping can be a daunting service to use if you are worried about who will be driving your car during the moving process. To put your mind at ease, I will describe my own experience when I had to move my car and this was one of my concerns.

My car is a 1966 Mustang which belonged to my father and has much sentimental value. When I had to move my car for work, I unfortunately didnt have the time to drive myself and so hired the services of an auto shipping company. My main concern was that damage would occur to my vehicle.

I was advised of the different types of auto shipping, on a car transport truck, driving or on an enclosed hot rod. I chose to move my car on a car transport truck. When the auto shipping truck arrived to collect my car, I was surprised to find that no driving was required. The car was winched onto the trailer with the other cars being moved. The driver told me that no one would drive my car unless it needed to be held at a storage yard. This made me so glad that I chose this option to move my car.

At the destination, I my car was rolled off the auto transport trailer and into the street. I couldnt have been happier with the whole experience that happened when I needed to move my car, and I would certainly use an auto shipping company in the future.

Relocating My Vehicle with Car Shipping

Posted on May 18, 2010 by Cat

Relocating my vehicle was the least of my priorities when I found out that my mother was sick and I would have to move back to the mid-west to care for her. I left the city in such a hurry that I didnt even stop to think about what would happen with my possessions. As it happened, my friends rallied round storing my belongs, but I needed to use a car shipping service so that I could use my car locally to get around with my mother.

A friend suggested that I contact a car shipping broker that she had used, and that I would find the best deal for relocating my vehicle by talking to them. When I called, the people at the car shipping company were extremely helpful, they were sympathetic with my situation and advised that they would definitely be able to help relocating my vehicle.

Within just a few hours, I received five different quotes for car shipping simply by contacting this one broker. The information was clearly laid out so that I could see the different services and understand the cost comparisons. I would have had to relay all my information time and again if I had contacted these car shipping companies directly.

As it turned out, relocating my vehicle was easy. I chose a car shipping company that suited my schedule and budget, and my car arrived promptly and safely. My life is much easier with my vehicle here, and using a car shipping broker made the whole process a breeze.

Auto Transport Broker to Move My Car

Posted on May 10, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport services are heavily advertised in my area because I live by the beach and we have a seasonal population. So when I needed to move my car, I decided to call round some of these auto transport companies to get a quote to relocate my vehicle.

I was quite shocked by some of the prices that were quoted to move my car, and certainly some of these auto transport companies were charging double the price of others. Because I didnt have much experience in auto transport, I didnt know how much to expect to pay to move my car.

It was a friend that suggested I talked to an auto transport broker and I was very pleased that I did. What I found was that the auto transport broker was able to provide clear and concise quotes that detailed all that would be included to move my car. Whats more, the prices from the auto transport broker were considerably lower than anything I had been given contacting auto transport companies direct.

In the end, I chose to use an auto transport company that I hadnt heard of, but they provided a top rate service to move my car, and were far lower priced than others I had spoken to. My whole auto transport experience went off without a hitch, and my car safely arrived at its destination in one piece. Im just thankful that I talked to an auto transport broker early on in my car moving experience.

Car Transporter Services for Relocation

Posted on May 06, 2010 by Cat

Car transporter services are extremely useful if you need to relocate and are unsure the best way to move your vehicle. While some people opt to drive to their destination, others find that the journey can be taxing and so employing an auto transport company to move your vehicle on a car transporter truck can take the stress out of moving.

Of course, using a car transporter isnt just an option if you are permanently relocating. Many people will use an auto transport service if they have a temporary work assignment, or even if they are going on vacation and would like to use their own vehicle for the time. When you consider the cost of car rental, its easy to see why using a car transporter is often seen as the best possible option.

In recent times, there has also been an increase of elderly people using an auto transport company to collect their car with a car transporter truck and deliver it to their summer home. Many people will spend the winter months in Florida, and using an auto transport service allows them to have full use of their own vehicle no matter where they are living.

My own father uses a car transporter service each year when he goes to stay with my brothers family for the holidays. The convenience of the auto transport company coming to collect the car from home and have it ready when he arrives is why we continually recommend auto transport to many of our friends.

Auto Transport to the Southern States

Posted on April 19, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport was the first thing that popped into my mind when I was being relocated to Dallas, Texas last year. My 1969 Camaro is a great little beast, but I knew to ship a car was a much better option that clocking up miles on my beautiful auto. Transport companies are of course rife, so how do you choose the best auto transport service for you?

To ship a car from Boston to Dallas might sound like an easy task, but I soon learned that not all auto transport companies would operate on that route. Whats more, I was told that to ship a car at short notice was likely to cost me a lot of money. So I found a national auto transport broker online and arranged for them to provide me with quotes to ship a car when I needed.

I was surprised just how much money I saved by using an auto transport broker. It seemed that they had far more contacts to ship a car than I could find in any local advertising. Whats more, many of these auto transport businesses specialized in moves like mine, and would be able to ship a car within my timeframe.

Auto transport might seem quite daunting at first, but I found that the services of an auto transport broker were invaluable, as well as saving me a lot of money. Next time I need to ship a car, whether it is my beautiful Camaro or an everyday drive, I will certainly contact a professional auto transport broker.

Getting the Best Car Shipping Quote

Posted on April 03, 2010 by Cat

Its not always the best decision to drive your auto if you’re moving across the country or even abroad. In fact, car shipping is often the most effective choice offered for vehicle transport as it can save you considerable time and money.

When I chose to use car shipping to move my vehicle, I didnt really know where to start, so I jumped on the internet and found some businesses that offer a vehicle transport service. I was amazed to find out that I could actually get lots of different car shipping quotes from just one place, and this was superb as it saved me a lot of time.

What I liked about getting multiple car shipping quotes was that I was able to create a spreadsheet so I could clearly see the services that would be included in the vehicle transport, as well as getting a good idea of the costs involved. I was quite surprised at just how varied car shipping quotes could be.

When I sat down and scrutinized the car shipping quotes I received, I decided to put emphasis on the quality of the service, which I thought was most important for my vehicle transport needs. I eventually settled on one firm, and called to arrange the car shipping for the time I needed.

At the completion of my car shipping experience I had my vehicle in its new location, without the stress of the drive, and I saved money using vehicle transport rather than paying for gas for my move. I definitely recommend car shipping to others.

Long Distance Auto Transport

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport was the last thing on my mind when I was told that my job was being relocated from Philadelphia to San Francisco for six months. I was so consumed with anxiety over the move that I didnt stop to even think about car delivery for my company car.

Luckily, when everything had settled down and I expressed my concerns about driving my company car over such a long distance, I was told that car delivery could be arranged through an auto transport company my business had previously used for company cars.

It was a huge relief to know that a car delivery company would take care of my auto transport and I wouldnt have to drive the whole journey.

When I called the auto transport company to arrange car delivery for my company car, they explained that the car would be collected from my home and delivered to my new rental property. I was quite surprised at just how easy the car delivery company made the whole process.

On the day of collection, the auto transport representative turned up and inspected my company car. He checked for damage and explained what he was doing ensured that I was properly insured.

My company car was loaded onto the auto transport truck and it trundled down the road. I next saw my company car when the car delivery people pulled into the driveway of my new home to unload my vehicle.

The whole car delivery process was so simple and stress free, I will certainly use an auto transport company for the return journey in a few months time.

Auto Transport a Personal Review

Posted on February 14, 2010 by Cat

Auto transport was the last thing on my mind when my job was relocated from New York to San Diego. Worried about leaving friends and family and organizing furniture to be moved were the main priorities on my list. It was my father that suggested that maybe an auto transport company could ease my stress by moving my car for me.

Of course, an auto transport service was something I had never before had to use. Whenever people needed to move a car, didnt they just drive it themselves? So I began by researching online to see what auto transport solutions were in my area.

After I had made a list, I called the auto transport companies and asked them how they move a car. Of course, there were different services available, and the auto transport rep was happy to guide me through which solution to move a car would be best for me.

I was surprised how much the quotes from these auto transport companies varied. When I called back to clarify, I found out that some quoted only to move a car, while others included insurances and extras. I learned you have to be vigilant when judging which auto transport company you are going to use.

Im pleased I chose the auto transport route rather than driving my car across country. I arrived relaxed and refreshed and saved money on the cost of fuel. The auto transport company were professional and friendly, for me it was certainly the best possible way to move a car.

Car Moving for University

Posted on January 30, 2010 by Cat

Car moving was the last thing on my mind when I went to university, with all the excitement of meeting new friends and experiencing a new place. But it turned out that car moving was actually a savior that aided me greatly and saved my family far more money than we had expected.
As it turned out, using a car transport company cost less than the fuel to drive the same distance
Many people overlook the services of a car transport company when they are making a non-permanent move, and in my case my initial thought was that driving my car to university would be the most economical and best way to make the move.

As it turned out, using a car transport company cost less than the fuel to drive the same distance, not to mention the peace of mind that my parents got from not having to worry about me making such a long drive.

I chose a local car moving company who were agents for a national car transport company and their price and service was unrivalled. Upon picking up my car, the agent from the car transport company thoroughly checked the vehicle and gave me an inspection report, as well as assuring me that the car moving process would make sure my car was at university on time.

At the end of my stay, I also opted to use a car moving company, this time to move to the city where I had been offered a great job. I plan on using the services of car transport companies whenever I need to relocate, and wouldnt hesitate to recommend them for other university students or graduates.
