Three Ways You Can Use to Move Your Car

When choosing a transport option to move your motor vehicle, you must consider the type/condition of your car, distance from your location to your destination, weather conditions, and safety. You can use third-party websites like Google Maps to get the distance between your location and the neighborhood you intend to move to in Kilgore.

Here are three options you can explore to move your car to your destination:

Drive the car

Driving yourself is the first option you often think about when the need to relocate to a new place kicks in. It may appear the easiest and the most convenient because it does not involve too much paperwork. However, Long-distance driving requires a lot of planning, especially when you have to cover hundreds of miles. You should identify the fuel amount needed, accommodation, refreshments, and car maintenance points.

Before you embark on the journey, you also have to consider the conditions of the routes in terms of weather conditions, traffic jams, safety, and topography. If you are not careful, you could encounter harsh conditions that delay your trip for days.

Hire A Driver

Another option is hiring someone you can trust to move your car. It could be a relative, friend, or professional driver. The only benefit of this option to move your vehicle is that you will not have to deal with traffic jams, rogue drivers, harsh weather conditions, and other long-distance driving challenges.

Like driving yourself, you will have to deal with the wear and tear on your car at the end of the journey. The value of your motor vehicle will also decrease because of the significant increase in mileage.

Auto Transporter

If you are crossing into another state or to a location over 1000 miles away, you should consider a professional auto transport company to do the job for you. Your car is loaded into a carrier truck and relocated to the required location, so you do not worry about wear and tear or any additional mileage.

If you choose this option, you must ensure the company you entrust with your car has adequate expertise and equipment to provide a safe haul. The amount you will pay an auto carrier company to move your car largely depends on the size/model of the vehicle and transportation distance.

When you want your car shipped, the first thing to do is fill out a free quote form on the shipping company's website. You should fill out quote forms from at least five companies to avoid a situation where you unknowingly overpay to move your car. Once you have a reasonable quote, you can complete the booking process online or call the hauling company for personalized assistance. Most car companies use credit and debit cards.

Once the booking process is complete, a relocating company representative will call to set a pickup date. They will also inform you what you must do while waiting for the pickup date.

Auto-Hauling Options

Auto-shipping companies offer customers a variety of shipping options. For instance, we offer four shipping options: enclosed transport, open-air transport, terminal-to-terminal service, and door-to-door service. These options vary in terms of safety, convenience, and cost.

Enclosed Hauling

It is the safest way to move a car. Car haulers use fully enclosed carrier trucks to move cars. Such trucks are rarely identifiable on the road because you will not know a truck is loaded with vehicles unless its door is opened. Enclosed trucks are commonly used to relocate luxury, expensive or delicate automobiles. One undoing of using enclosed shifting is delays. This is because many customers do not prefer using this shifting option; thus, filling one enclosed carrier truck takes time.

Open Transport

For this option, vehicles are hauled in open carrier trucks. It is the most commonly used auto transport option because it is cheaper and more available. Also, this option can transport more vehicles in one trip. The biggest undoing of using open hauling is that your car is exposed to road debris and harsh weather conditions during shipping.

Door-To-Door Service

If convenience comes top in what you are looking for when selecting an auto shifting company, you should choose the door-to-door service. In this option, once you have completed the booking process, the relocating company will pick up your car from your location and move it to your desired destination. You will pay slightly more to use this option, but you can rest assured that your vehicle will arrive at your doorstep within the agreed time. Ensure you give the shipping company accurate information about the pick-up and drop-off points to avoid delays.

Terminal-To-Terminal Service

The cheaper alternative to the door-to-door service is the terminal-to-terminal service. You must drive your car to the nearest shipping company's assembly point for this option. You must also pick up your vehicle at the hauling company terminus at the end of the relocating process.

If you choose the terminal-to-terminal option, pick up your car as soon as it arrives at the destination to avoid any extra charges.
