Using Auto Transport Services
Drive Away Service
Drive-away services have become more popular lately, especially when customers compare the prices with standard auto shipping. Drive-away services are indeed much more cost-effective, but they come with their own risks, namely, trusting a stranger to drive your car. The way it works is that you contact a third-party service that works with drivers, does background checks, and assigns the vehicle driver job. It can be pretty pain-free when done right. Another big drawback, however, is that you still put miles on the car and take on the same risks as if you drove it yourself. The only real savings offered with this method is that you don't have to invest your time in driving the car over a long distance, which can be helpful in some instances.

Standard Auto Transport
With standard shipping, your car is loaded onto a carrier and driven to its destination without putting any miles on it, which is one of the primary advantages over a drive-away service. While it does cost more, there's less potential for mechanical hiccups if your car is being shipped, which you can't say for services that have someone drive it for you. You also get an additional layer of protection when you choose to have your car shipped since it's not as susceptible to hazardous weather conditions and road debris. After choosing a company to work with, you will either be contacted by the driver to arrange for pick up of your vehicle or make arrangements to drop it off at a relocating terminal. From there, the driver will inspect the car to assess it for damage and ensure it's in proper condition to be loaded onto the carrier. A follow-up inspection of the vehicle is done at drop-off to determine if there has been any car damage during shipping.
International Car Shipping
Shipping a car overseas is a little more complicated than overland haulage, though you may still have to use standard auto hauling to get your vehicle to a shipping port. From there, your vehicle will either be loaded into a transporting container before being put onto the ship or driven on the ship and secured before delivery. The second method is referred to as “RORO” transport in the shipping industry because the vehicle is “rolled on” (driven onto) the relocating ship, then “rolled off” when it arrives at the destination port. Experience is important when you have a car shipped internationally so make sure you find a company that has a full understanding of the process and lists the specific locations they ship to.
