Shipping Your Car vs. Driving The Car Yourself - Here Are The Facts

Driving vs. Shipping Your Car

There's nothing like driving on the open road without a care in the world.  Taking a trip driving cross-country may seem like a vacation in itself.  But when you have the option of shipping your automobile, you will find that driving the car yourself is not the most efficient way of transporting your vehicle across the country.  

Here are 3 things to consider:

Protection  -  When driving a vehicle cross-country, your car is susceptible to a number of issues including car failures, road accidents and other mechanical issues to the automobile that can quickly add up and become expensive problems that you didn't originally plan for.  Additionally, driving a car thousands of miles can place a lot of unnecessary strain and damage to the vehicle.  Not to mention any security threats and navigational issues that can arise on your trip.  If you are looking for the safest way to transport your vehicle cross-country, then auto shipping services will be the best option for you.

Cost  -  It may seem like driving your car across the country will be less expensive than shipping the vehicle, but travel costs can add up quickly.  Unforeseen costs such as gas, food, materials, automobile accidents and system failures can make a seemingly inexpensive trip, a costly and time consuming outing.  While shipping your automobile is extremely cost-effective, with a trip from New York to San Francisco costing around $1,000.

Convenience  -  Whether or not you have a taste for adventure, shipping your car cross-country just isn't a convenient means of transportation. One of the benefits of using an auto transporting service is that you have an industry that prides itself in professionalism and precision behind you.  The auto shipping industry is a $12 billion industry that seeks to safely ship vehicles with little inconvenience on your end.  From interstate car sales to moving cross-country, ASAP Transport Solutions will have your back.

Car Shipping Companies - Brokers vs. Carriers

Purchasing cars online is becoming more and more popular, and often the buyer is out-of-state.  Nowadays, it is far easier and cheaper to hire a car shipping company to arrange the transport of your automobile directly to your driveway. 

Brokers vs Carriers - How do you choose ? 

Obviously a Broker is the middle man and usually the broker fee to arrange the car transport is about $100-$150.  You'll ask yourself , why should I pay the broker fee, if I can find a direct carrier...? 

There are several things you should consider ... 


You can be easily overwhelmed by hundreds of website(s) and prices out there.  When you are searching online for Car Shipping Companies, you'll find mainly Brokers.  In this industry, the car carrier companies are typically very small operations, with anywhere from 1 to 5 trucks, and they don't advertise online.  

To make a long story short, the Carriers rely on Brokers to make sales so that they can schedule pick-ups and deliveries and fill their truck.  Carriers normally don't have customer support, marketing and sales channels.  

Car Shipping Brokers, are the ones that are taking care of you, the Customer!  Brokers are legally Bonded as required by USDOT and FMCSA and their main job is to arrange a Licensed and Insured carrier to transport your vehicle.  The Broker knows, what paperwork to request from Carrier, where to check to see if all Licenses and Insurance is valid and most of the time Brokers keep a record of truckers performance.  The good Auto Transport Broker Companies are rated an A+ by the Better Business Bureau.  So, check them out thoroughly before you book your vehicle transport.

By trying to shop around the Broker route, and attempting to find a Carrier direct...you'll have to become very familiar with USDOT Licensing and Insurance requirements quickly.  Then, try to verify validity of these documents (which are sometimes falsified by faulty Carrier's) etc., and not to mention the burden to find a direct carrier, which is almost IMPOSSIBLE. 

The best advice is to choose a reputable Car Shipping Broker, that has reviews on several websites online and let them take the worry out of your hands and arrange the car delivery.
