If it\u2019s the former, you probably planning to drive. If it\u2019s the latter, it might make more sense to ship your belongings and take a plane, rather than carrying a home\u2019s worth of clothes and furniture in the backseat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If that&#8217;s your situation, or something similar, you might wonder about the safest and most cost-effective ways to get your car from one state to the next. You have logistics to think about, maybe a moving budget, and a timeframe. It\u2019s imperative things go as smooth as possible, and you don\u2019t want to take chances, nor incur needless expense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even if you\u2019re selling your car, bringing it for display at a show or just vacationing, you\u2019ll want to know the same thing: How does it work, how will it take and where can I find the best deal? Having your car transferred between states safely, on time and at low cost is a weight off the mind of anyone in these situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This guide is aimed at those in that situation. First things first, how to go about it?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How can I get my car shipped to another state?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Step one involves a little homework. You\u2019ll need to find a professional car transporter you\u2019re comfortable with. There are plenty of services on offer, so to help your search here are a few key things to look out for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Department of Transport certification<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Testimonials from satisfied customers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ability to contact, both the service and ideally the driver themselves<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Experienced and knowledgeable<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coverage in the states you\u2019re travelling from and to<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does NOT ask for payment before the job has been done<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This last point is especially important. A car transporter who demands you pay before the car arrives is very probably a scam artist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ve probably heard of big auto haulers like Montway and might be prepared to pay a lot more for a major brand. But a major brand doesn\u2019t get that way without overheads and drivers whose pay comes from management, not from their quote, meaning they are less committed to caring for your car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another tip to note: Larger car-shipping services maximise their profit and efficiency by using Terminals, i.e. they wait until a carrier is full before shipping it. This can mean delays, if a car due to be transported does not appear, and so the carrier will wait before departing. Boutique services with drivers you can speak to mean you can avoid this, if timing matters to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, as far as schedule and budget go, you\u2019re often better off finding a driver on an online marketplace like CitizenShipper. Simply <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/citizenshipper.com\/shipment-form\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">post your shipment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to a board of qualified and vetted transporters and start receiving quotes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make sure to include everything a transporter may need to know in your initial post, like make of car, destination, origin and dates. Now you can compare quotes, view transporters\u2019 profiles and make an assessment on the right transporter for you. The marketplace element means costs are driven down, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking of costs, it\u2019s time we took a closer look at what you might expect to pay (and how long it will take) to ship a car from Florida to Texas, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How much does it cost to transfer a car to another state?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You won\u2019t be surprised to learn there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all cost for shipping cars from state to state. The quote you receive from a transporter will be based on a number of factors:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Distance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The further you need your car to go, the greater the fuel costs, charges for time taken and those pesky tolls along the way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Season\/off-season<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The busiest months for auto haulers come around summer. That\u2019s partly because of people moving their belongings (and cars) to a vacation home, or because people are in the mood to travel, and so want to buy or sell their car to upgrade. If you can book <a href=\"https:\/\/citizenshipper.com\/car-shipping\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">car transport<\/a> in the winter months, chances are the cost will be cheaper.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Size, weight, make and model<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Differences between cars account for sometimes big differences in the quote you get for the job. Heavier cars need more fuel to transport; vintage cars require more hands-on care and specialist equipment; bigger cars may limit which streets a transporter may use; and cars with idiosyncrasies that need to be tended to by the transporter during the trip will also mean a higher cost.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Type of transport required<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. In an online marketplace you can stipulate if you would prefer a covered or open-air trailer. The benefit of a covered trailer is protection from bad weather, but they do tend to add to the total cost. A standard container measures 7x7x19 feet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can view a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/home.costhelper.com\/auto-transport.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">handy guide to average costs here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. For a flavour of the kind of price you can expect, shipping a sedan from Florida to Texas will set you back around $700. From New York to Texas that cost is closer to $1,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To start receiving quotes and choosing the best transporter for your vehicle, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/citizenshipper.com\/shipment-form\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">post your shipment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on CitizenShipper today.
