Whether you're moving to Giddings temporarily or permanently, you should consider taking your car. You can drive it yourself or hire an auto shipping company to do the job for you. The option you will use to relocate depends on the distance, type/condition of the car, safety, budget, and urgency.

Here is an illustration of how these factors affect your decision:

Giddings Auto Transport Pricing & 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.

Distance

You probably have a clue about the distance between the location of your car and your destination. For 500 miles or less distance, driving the car yourself makes more sense than hiring an auto transport company. Such a trip will not take much of your time, and the condition of your car will not be affected much. Plus, shipping an operable car for less than 500 miles is not worth it.

But if the distance between the location and destination of your car is more than 500 miles, hiring a reputable car transport company will be more convenient. Auto-shipping companies have experienced drivers with a better understanding of the best and the safest routes. For this distance, if you drive the car, its condition is affected (mileage, wear and tear), and you will have to change some parts after the trip.

Type And Condition of Your Car

Before making any decision, take your time to evaluate the capability of your car. For instance, a small engine is not meant for long distances, especially when you have some load. Equally, an old vehicle may not navigate a long distance without developing any mechanical problems. Shipping is the only secure and convenient way of relocating such cars.

When relocating inoperable automobiles, you have no choice but to ship them. Auto-shipping companies have the right equipment and expertise to help during the loading and unloading of inoperable vehicles.

Budget

The amount you're willing to spend will also affect your decision. Compare the amount you will spend by driving yourself to the shipping cost. Some of the expenses you should consider when calculating driving costs include the cost of fuel, food, accommodation, and car repair. It is also important to note that driving comes with too many uncertainties, and you could spend much more than intended.

Getting the shipping cost is simpler; fill out the quote form on the shipping company's website. Any reputable transporter should provide customers with a free and non-obligatory quote form.

Although not by much, the cost of transporting is often higher than the cost of driving. The question you should ask yourself is whether shipping is worth the price.

Safety

Before you embark on a long-distance trip, you have to consider your safety on the road. If there is a significant number of reported cases of attacks in the route you will take to arrive at your destination, you should consider shipping as opposed to driving. Also, driving through thick forests or parks alone may not be the safest thing to do.

Carrier trucks used to transport cars are huge and less susceptible to attacks, and car transport companies have put up numerous measures to ensure the shipment arrives at the destination safely. Plus, they have an insurance cover that takes liability for any damage to your car during shipping.

Car Transportation Options

Auto transport involves moving an automobile from one location to another. Vehicle transport falls under different categories depending on the service you want and the condition of the car you want to be shipped.

Among the most commonly used auto shipping methods include:

• Rail Freight: Your vehicle is facilitated to the destination by rail. Rail transport offers customers open-air transport services and enclosed containers. It is one of the quickest and cheapest ways of shipping a car. The only challenge is that not all car shipping companies offer rail freight services. Plus, the country's railway network is not sufficiently connected to the road network.
• Air Transport: It is the fastest and safest way of shipping a car and is mostly used in times of emergencies. With airports and airstrips spread across the country, it's easy to find a landing location near your destination. Unfortunately, air shipping is too expensive because of the technicalities that come with it.
• Truck Transport: It is the most commonly used auto shipping method. Truck transport may be slower than rail freight and air transport but is more convenient than other transport options. It is the only transport option that will guarantee your car at your exact destination. Auto carrier companies use specially designed trucks that ensure your car arrives at the destination in good condition.

Choosing a Vehicle Transport Company

One of the biggest mistakes you can make while selecting a company to move your car is thinking any company that pops up on your browser is trustworthy. Not all these companies have a good reputation, so you need to be careful not to fall into the wrong hands.

So, what should you look for in a car transport company?

The first stop when you visit the website of a vehicle shipping company would be a quote form. Yes, shipping cost is an important consideration, but there are other essential factors for a transporter. They include registration, insurance, experience, and customer reviews. These factors help you separate professional companies from those with a questionable reputation.

Low rates may seem like a good deal, but the company may compromise the quality of services, and the insurance cover may be sub-par. Take your time to study the reviews left by previous customers and check the extent of the insurance policy to ensure your car is fully protected.
