The Benefits of Using Auto Transport

gfat2022 • 26 January 2023

Whether it’s your primary vehicle or a new addition to your collection, your car is important to you. How do you determine the best way to get your vehicle from point A to point B? Of course you could simply drive there, but there are 4 key benefits in utilizing auto transport instead! 

1. Saving Time

Shipping your vehicle rather than driving it often means saving time! When your schedule is hectic and time is of the essence, shipping your vehicle can be the much easier option. No one can be two places at once no matter how good they are at multitasking. Because you would not be spending hours on the road driving the vehicle yourself, you can handle other obligations while your vehicle gets to where it needs to go safely and securely. Cross-country travel can sometimes take up to a week or more when you’re driving your own vehicle. Why not allow the professionals to handle the transport while you sit back, relax, and enjoy that much shorter plane ride!

2. Saving Money

After considering the costs of gas, meals, and lodging you will likely find that transporting your vehicle instead can save a surprising amount of money compared to driving the car yourself! Shipping a car is actually not nearly as expensive as many believe. There are a number of different factors that determine the cost of an auto transport, however, after you consider the costs of gas, meals, and lodging, many find that having your vehicle transported for you is the most cost effective option available. 

3. Minimize Wear & Tear

  Because your vehicle will spend it journey inside or on the back of a transport trailer, its wheels and other functions are spared miles of travel and use! During auto transport, the use of an open air or enclosed transport trailer is used to ship your vehicle. The only “driving” you vehicle may do on this trip is the few feet driving onto and off of the trailer itself. When considering a lot of transports are several hundred miles or more the wear and tear on your vehicle’s tires, engine, brakes, etc. can all be spared by utilizing a shipper. This is an especially beneficial options for cases such as class car collectors or buying/selling vehicles as a way to avoid adding unnecessary mileage to the car!

4.  Minimize Stress

Let’s be real here, relocating your vehicle is stressful! By using an auto transport company to assist with the relocation, however, you are able to rest easy knowing it’s being handled and can focus on other things needing your attention. With shipping, you get to avoid all the hassles of driving such as traffic, pit stops, road construction and more! The transport process makes it simple with door to door availability. In most cases, the driver will come directly to you and your car will be transported safely and quickly to its destination.
