Relocating a Vehicle to a New State
Relocating to a new state can be quite a headache. With all the moving parts that come with relocating, shipping your vehicle can be a challenge itself. There are a few things to consider when relocating a vehicle to a new state.
How far are you moving
The biggest obstacle to consider are the miles and distance moving. The further the move, the more you’ll have to drive! If you have more than one car, that makes your distance even more of a challenge.
Can you ship items in your car
You are allowed up to 100 pounds of personal items in your vehicle during transport, at no additional cost to you. Please keep all of the items in your vehicle under the window left. If you plan on shipping more than 100 pounds of items when relocating a vehicle to a new state, discuss that with your dedication agent to further assist in getting an updated quote with the additional weight.
Time of year
Depending on the time of year, your quote may be more or less expensive. During the summer, prices tend to be higher than usual. This tends to happen due to higher activities in the real estate market. The higher the demand of transport for people relocating to new states, the higher the cost per spot on the driver truck. As winter begins, prices go up for certain states. This is known as snowbird season. States like Florida and Arizona will have more of a demand for auto transport, which causes the price to spike upward when shipping to these states.
