Auto transportation and extended auto warranty are two things that should not be taken lightly. That’s why we partnered with KRIS 6 News and ConsumerAffairs to create a guide to both, allowing you to make the best decision with the most information possible. After you read through this post, you’ll be informed and able to pick the best moving forward. After all, you don’t want just anyone taking care of your car!

Auto Transport

There’s a lot of moving pieces when it comes to auto transport. However, we want to break it down to the essentials for you so that it’s easier to manage! If you’re wondering what auto transporting even is, it’s when companies ship cars to and from the area. This would typically affect you if you were moving long-distance and couldn’t drive your car overseas. So as you can imagine, it should take a special company to be able to ship your car. Here’s a few things to consider before picking one.

The further the distance, the more you will have to pay, so make sure to weigh your options before going with the cheapest. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that it’s also cheaper to pick up or drop off cars in areas that are more urban, as opposed to remore areas. You should also consider the time of year in which you choose to ship; it can be pricier to ship during the summer and winter months. And finally, you should be mindful of the fact that there are two shipping types — open and enclosed transport. Open transport leaves your vehicle exposed but can be significantly cheaper than the enclosed option.
