Auto
Shipping Tips:
- Drain your fuel level to
less than half a tank. Most companies charge by weight and draining your gas can
save you a few dollars.
- Prep your car for the
climate. Make sure you have anti-freeze and coolant in your car.
- Don't ship your belongings
in the car. Items might be stolen or while in transit and are not insured by the
carrier.
Drive-away services are the
alternative to you driving or shipping your car. Companies advertise for drivers
to transport your vehicle to your destination. These drivers are always screened
and fingerprinted before they are hired but are not necessarily
professionals.
- You don't have to drive
your own car.
- You can pack some of your
belongings in the truck.
- The cost is reasonably low
compared to shipping.
- You risk the liability of
having another individual drive your car.
- The time of arrival is not
guaranteed.
- Extra mileage adds to the
wear on your car and increases the potential for breakdown.
