Vehicle Transport: Moving Vehicles Across the US is Now Easier Than Ever

The idea of shipping a vehicle across the country might seem stressful and expensive. In reality, moving a vehicle across the country is now easier than ever. Whether you’re moving across the country or purchasing a car from the other side of the US, shipping your vehicle might be your best move. 

Here are some benefits to shipping your car: 

1. Mileage Savings

Shipping your car rather than driving it will limit mileage and keep your car in better condition in the long run. The mileage contributes to both the overall wear and tear on your vehicle as well as the resale value when you end up wanting to sell it someday. Additionally, your vehicle will be protected from the elements if it’s shipped in an enclosed truck. 

2. Time Savings

Driving a car across the country could take you up to 5 days, depending on where you’re headed and how many stops you take. Instead of driving it yourself, think about having it transported for you as the time savings are significant. 

3. Save Money

Upfront, it might seem like driving a car cross-country yourself would save you money. However, with the cost of fuel plus the cost of lodging (if you have to stay somewhere overnight during your road trip), plus the cost of flying to get the car in the first place, it will likely end up costing you more to drive it yourself. Shipping prices average around 75 cents per mile in most cases. 

4. Safety First

Driving long distances could put you and your car at risk, and you’re going to want to think about what road conditions you may encounter during the time of your drive. If you decide to have someone transport your car, however, it means putting your car in the hands of very well trained and experienced drivers who do this for a living. According to Uship, you are not required to have insurance to ship a car. Auto transporters are legally responsible for carrying liability insurance per the United States Department of Transportation. This only applies to companies that are physically shipping your car, not brokers.
