I have become quie familiar with auto transport over the years as a Florida resident . One such reason is many whom reside here are lovingly referred to as “snow birds”. In essence this means that they only spend a portion of the year in Florida, primarily trying to escape the snow at their other residences. As such, the majority will utilize a car shipping company to have their vehicles sent here for the season. This is an excellent alternative for those who often are elderly and the drive may be daunting.

It is a very logical solution, as well as saving money. It is much cheaper, not to mention quicker, to use a car shipping company. It is much quicker to have a vehicle shipped than to drive the distance yourself. If you are leasing, or have an older car, this can save you on mileage that ou could put to use another way.
There are many different web sites that may be accessed to check out a company’s reputation. Of course all companies maintain insurance but I found it helpful to be able to look at the history of claims against them and how they resolved the claims and within what time frame. Do not leave anything in your car, most insurances will not cover it if there is an accident. If there is an accident, don’t expect anything other than your car to be covered by the insurance. Of the times I have had cars shipped, I have been happy with the results.

I recommend that you diligently research before you select a car transport company. As you begin to make calls and do research you will get a strong sense of who you want to trust with your valuable asset.

By having your vehicle shipped, you will not have to worry about construction or weather conditions. I have never lived in snowy conditions and many others have not lived in areas that experience frequent torrential downpours. By driving you may experience weather that you are not familiar driving in. Factor the weather, plus the increase in the number of cars on the road, and you have a very hazardous trip ahead of you. Why take that gamble?

You will be looking at a thousand dollars minimum, once you figure the price of gas, the wear on your car and any stops, to eat or rest for the night. Do your research and I believe you too will find having your vehicle shipped is a far better alternative. Make sure the company you choose will be shipping your vehicle and not driving it. Utilize the industry standard and safeguard your investment with auto transport.
