subject: Vehicle Transportation-if You Can't Go To The Car, Have The Car Come To You [print this page] It's interesting how we acquire cars these days. The first one that I personally purchased was bought at a used car lot. That was the car that my girlfriend and I used on most of our dates, and due more to its sentimental value than anything else, we have never sold it. After we were married and had our first child, a family member gave us an old family van that they no longer had any use for. Since we were still relatively broke, it was a huge blessing to us. We drove that car for years before finally surrendering it for something a little newer.
In looking for cars these days, both local and online auctions have become very popular. Rather than find a used car at a local lot, where selection and quality are very limited, someone looking for a car might choose to browse through auction sites, or visit the online showrooms for both new and used vehicles. This is especially useful in looking for classic cars, both as-is and restored, and good finds nationwide can be found with a good keyword search.
With all of this availability, the challenge then becomes moving the car from the point of purchase to the new owner. If the car isn't too far away, it might be delivered by the seller, or picked up by the buyer. When the distance is too great or too inconvenient, finding a car transportation service is usually the best option. With such a service, one or more cars can be relocated to their new owners quickly and efficiently.
In finding a viable car transportation service, it's important to find one that provides insurance for your vehicle at an affordable rate. Sometimes, the insurance is included at no extra charge, since more than one vehicle might be transported for more than one customer. In any case, you want to do your due diligence and find a transportation service that is licensed and ensured and with a clean track record. It's also a plus if you can find a shipper that is Government Contractor Certified, as such certification ensures that the transporter adheres to high standards.
Whether it's a personal purchase or moving company fleet vehicles from one branch to another, a certified vehicle transportation service will both lighten your load and free up your time. After all, someone else will be doing the driving for you, and you won't be adding any numbers to your odometer!
