Snowbirds, you can breathe now.

GETTING STUCK IN TRAFFIC IS FRUSTRATING

Do you enjoy sitting in traffic? It’s safe to say the answer is no. Take a trip from North to South or East to West in your car and you risk being stuck in traffic a lot. When you arrive at your winter (OR SUMMER) home you’ll be tired, frustrated and stressed. 

There are better ways to start your vacation OR RELOCATION. Choose open car transport or enclosed auto transport for shipping your car and you’ll be able to fly to your winter home stress-free. 

The reason you’re heading South for the winter is because you want to escape the cold and all the hazards connected with the weather. If you've decided to relocate to another state, choosing to drive means you’re putting your safety at risk because driving long distances can be dangerous. 

There’s an increased risk of getting involved in an accident, and there’s also the possibility of running into winter weather during your journey..

Take a trip in your car and there are added expenses, even if your trip is a short one. The long distance involved in driving from the North to the South or East to West, means there are fuel costs to contend with. You will also need food and drinks along the way. You might also break up the journey by staying in a hotel for a night or two, which further adds to the cost. 

How far do you travel when you move South for the winter? At least a thousand miles in one direction, which means a lot of extra miles on your car. Make the same trip year after year and that’s a lot of wear and tear on your vehicle and it's tires.

We offer door-to-door car transport.  We will pick up your vehicle from your home, or as near as is safe and legal to do so. Your vehicle will be safely transported on the back of a trailer and delivered to a location of your choice. 

It’s possible to track your vehicle’s location and our drivers are generally accessible along the way. You will be kept updated with the vehicle's progress and given an estimated time of arrival. 

  COST 

Cost is one of the most significant factors for anyone considering shipping a car. There are several factors taken into consideration when a company decides how much an auto transport service costs.

The most obvious factors are distance traveled and the type of vehicle. Heavier and larger vehicles cost more to transport. Vehicles that aren’t running also cost because the carrier has to use additional equipment for loading and unloading. Vehicle transport to and from remote locations might also cost more. Other factors to bear in mind include:

• Price of fuel.
• Type of auto transport service.
• Time of the year. 

Choose open car transport and your car is usually shipped on a long, two-level trailer along with several other vehicles. This type of auto transport is suitable for most types of vehicle and is the best choice if you’re shipping a standard model or a used car. 

Shipping by open transport is faster and cheaper than enclosed transport and because there are more open carriers in operation, it’s easier to book your preferred pick-up and delivery time.

An open transport trailer is open on all sides, which means your vehicle is exposed to the weather. It will also be exposed to dirt, dust, and traffic grime during its journey. 

If you want additional protection for your car you can request top load placement. This means the carrier loads your car on the upper deck of the carrier, protecting it from potential leakage from vehicles that might be above it. 

Even though your car is exposed to the elements, open car transport is a very safe, secure, and affordable option for anyone who wants to take their car with them when they move south for the winter. 

Choose enclosed auto transport and your vehicle is completely enclosed in a trailer. This method offers a higher degree of protection for your vehicle. It’s the preferred shipping method for owners of collectible, antique, luxury, or high-end vehicles. 

If, for example, you want to take your Lincoln Continental, Cadillac Escalade, Pontiac Trans Am or Chevrolet Camaro, enclosed auto transport would be recommended. 

In an enclosed trailer, your car is completely protected from the weather and road debris. Carriers who specialize in enclosed auto transport are also more experienced in transporting high-end vehicles. 

Enclosed auto transport is a little more expensive than open car transport, but sometimes, no price is too high for a vehicle that requires a premier level of care and attention.
