Why Shipping Your Car Might Be a Better Option Than Driving It

There are a lot of considerations when deciding whether shipping your vehicle is a good option for you. Whether you are relocating yourself and your family or purchasing a vehicle out-of-state, the big question is “Is shipping your car a better option”. Well, we thought you’d never ask.

Is it dangerous to drive?

While deciding which company is best suited for you is a challenge in itself, deciding whether to ship or drive can be even more challenging. Your first consideration should be safety. Driving your vehicle, especially long distances, can be pretty dangerous. For every 30 minutes spent behind the wheel, your chances of getting into a damaging or even life altering accident can increase by 3%. Unlike our vetted drivers, most people don’t go through a driving training course more than once in their lifetime. Our drivers are required to complete extensive and comprehensive certifications that keep them sharp and ready for the roads.

Is It Worth Shipping Your Vehicle?

Third, you’ll want to consider the costs. With the cost of fuel is rising by the week, you may end up paying more driving your vehicle than you would shipping it. If you were to drive your vehicle a distance of 2,100 miles at an average of 25 miles per gallon, you could be spending nearly $500! Not to mention the cost of one, maybe even two nights at a hotel, along with food and other expenses. When you add it all up, you may be paying nearly $1,200 just to drive your vehicle. Lastly, shipping your vehicle saves time. All that time that would be spent sitting in traffic and getting through each mile could be used adjusting to a new city or state or simply enjoying your weekend. Shipping your vehicle can save you over 30 hours, if not more. 

Is the juice really worth the squeeze? I’d say no. Shipping your vehicle through an auto transport company is worth every last drop. Although auto transportation might be a bit more costly, you might end up saving time and money.
