Moving interstate can be a stressful experience; there’s so much to pack and tie up in your current home, and so much to get organized in your new home. The last thing you need when you’re stressed is to hop in your car and drive for hours or days on end to get to your new abode.
The safest way to move interstate is to get an auto shipping company to move your car. Car shipping companies move cars using open shipping, where your car is transported with up to seven other cars and is exposed to the elements, or closed shipping, where your car is transported in a closed container. Open shipping is the cheapest option, while closed shipping may offer you more peace of mind, especially if you have a vintage or luxury car. It’s a matter of personal preference which method you choose.
Make sure you ring around and get a couple of quotes so you can compare prices and services before committing to a car transport company. If you live in a small town or remote area, you may be able to save money by having your car shipped to the nearest major metropolitan area.
