Shipping Your Car – section 1
If you own a car and are going to do any long distance moving, you are probably dealing with the common question, “Should I drive my car to the new location or should hire a car transporter that will move my car for me?”
Drive If you plan to drive your car to the destination, there are a few advantages to think about. In many cases, driving your car to the destination will end up being cheaper than transporting it, so you will end up saving some money. Another advantage of driving your car is the fact that you always have your car with you, which means that you will not have to be apart from your car for the first few days at your destination. And as a bonus, you can also consider this advantage as additional savings as you won't need to rent a car during the time your car is being transported.
Transport If you don’t want to drive, hiring car movers to transport your vehicle has some important advantages to consider. One of the best factors of transporting your car is the fact that you get to preserve your car's value. Long distance moving, especially coast-to-coast relocation, will rack up the miles on your car, quickening the inevitable trip to the mechanic. This also means that your car's value is will decrease, and this fact is even more true if you lease a car and your miles are limited.
If you are doing any long distance moving, driving can become an exhausting task, and if you are not used to long drives, this could even affect your health. Reports have shown that long driving hours may increase the pressure on your lower back and lead to back pains. If you have a large family, and decide to hire a car mover to transport your car, you can save more as you will not need to spend money on trip costs such as, food, lodging, and fuel. The cost of driving yourself or one extra is still probably cheaper, but if you throw in the kids then you are talking about more pit stops and adventures along the way, which will add to the total cost.
