Due to the numerous villages and neighborhoods of Columbia, it maintains the feel of a small community in spite of a population north of 100,000 residents.

Cost & Time To Ship Your Car Examples

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and what type of vehicle you are shipping.

Using Columbia Vehicle Transport Companies

• Realistic Expectations - A lot goes into having a car moved. Things like weather, road closures and even other customers can cause delays in the process. It’s important to keep this in mind when hiring a professional car shipper. Unfortunately, delays do happen but you do have the option of having your vehicle moved by itself, which greatly reduces delays.
• Terminal Shipping Is Cheaper - You’ll read a lot about door to door auto transport from any company that offers the service, but don’t forget that it’s just one option--and the more expensive one. If you have a car dropped off at a local terminal and pick it up yourself, you’ll save yourself some money. But don’t forget that terminals charge for storage!
• Ask About Gasoline Limits - Professional auto movers typically ask that you have only a small amount of gas in the tank before having your car or truck moved. This saves them money because of the reduced rate, which in turn saves you money. Some companies ask no more than 1/8 of a tank of gas, others may allow up to 1/4 tank. The only way to be sure is to ask!
