Transport or drive yourself

712 W Algonquin Rd, Arlington Heights, IL 60005

In case you are planning to buy a car on the other side of state, you have most certainly been considering either hiring a transport company to have your car shipped to you or driving your vehicle home yourself.

The second option may be one for those of adventurous spirit with a lot of free time on their hands, but if like the majority due to work engagements you have barely enough time for family, friends and hobbies, then the most viable option would be to hire a transport company to take care of your automobile. Here’s why this is a good option for you;

Save Time

Time is the only resource we can’t get back, we all have 24 hours a day on our hands, and how well we utilize that time will dictate the quality of our life. Aside of ever day tasks that can take anywhere from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours, consider wisely whether you need yet another errand that may take up to a couple of days of your valuable time. In the case of driving your new vehicle yourself, not only does this require time to get from point A to B but it also takes a great deal of time to organize the entire trip and make sure you don’t come across any problems that might give you a headache.

Transport and Inoperable vehicles

Should you have purchased a car that is for any reason inoperable, you will definitely require some kind of transportation. If you yourself are planning on transporting the car, you will need a trailer. If you yourself do not own one you will have to rent one, and considering the time and energy you will invest in finding it and the eventual cost, you will probably fair of much better if you hire a transport company to deal with your vehicle.

What are the additional costs when transporting your own vehicle?

Aside from the obvious costs such as fuel, you will also have to pay for hotel bills when the drive is long and you need to rest overnight. If you’re lucky you will only need one overnight stay, but more often than not long-distance rides require 2 or more nights spent in a hotel, making it rather costly an option. Aside from the hotel room, you will also inquire food and beverage costs during your transportation, whether that be dining in at restaurants or the occasional coffee stop. When you hand over the responsibility of your vehicle transportation to a company, you will be given a fixed price, making it possible for you to calculate your budget, and there will additionally be no unpredicted costs, even if they should arise, they will be the transportation companies’ responsibility and they will incur the costs not you.

Flexible vehicle delivery

When you hire a company to transport your vehicle, aside from the aforementioned advantages, one of the key things is that you can request the time and place of delivery. Hypothetically, if you have just purchased a car that needs to be serviced before it is delivered to you, and the first free slot at the service is in a couple of days, you can arrange with the transportation company to deliver it there. Else you will have to deal with parking the car, organize when the service can begin work on your vehicle, drive it to and from the service itself which will take up quite some time. This is obviously only one of many possible scenarios where the flexible delivery can play a major role.

Storage of your vehicle in the case of prolonged delivery time

It is important that we should mention that if you require your vehicle to be delivered at a specific time at a specific place, the company offers professional storage of your car where it will be safe in every way.

Pick up of a vehicle where the owner is physically present

Insurance during transport

Let’s discuss the all-important safety of your vehicle. Most if not all transportation companies offer insurance of your vehicle during transportation. This is very important, because should any damage come to your vehicle, the insurance company who has a deal with the transport company will cover the costs. It is a good idea before choosing your transportation company, to check their insurance policy, what it covers and what it does not.

Dispatch Centers operating 24/7

At a time where competition for new clients is high, companies are being forced to offer top notch services in order to stay in business, which you as a client should by all means use to your advantage. When you hire a professional company for the transport of your vehicle, you can at all times remain informed about the status of your car, meaning where the driver is, whether the car has been picked up and whether it’s on its way, whether it has reached storage, whether it will be on time etc. But the greatest benefit is not in the fact that you will be in control of the process of the transportation of your vehicle, but you can actively part take in it. In case unpredicted circumstances should arise on your end and you have to receive the car at a different time or place, you can communicate and make these changes with the dispatch center available 24/7.

Professional Drivers

In essence this should be a given, but we should mention that when you hire a company for the transportation of our vehicle you will most certainly be getting a professional driver, this is of utmost importance if you wish for things to go as planned. Companies don’t need unreliable drivers, because they would make the company less productive and they would be receiving negative reviews, and by that in itself making less profit. It is essential for companies to have reliable professional drivers, so much so that this should not at all come into question.

Transportation of cars covering the entire US

You can’t always choose which state or city you are going to find your dream car that you wish to purchase. It’s great if you get lucky and you find the car only a couple of miles from you, but what if it is located on the other side of America? If you are planning to transport it yourself you will have to look into airline tickets that fit into your budget and if you don’t find one look into alternatives, with a great chance that you won’t find a feasible option. On the other hand, for companies who offer professional transportation of vehicles it is of no importance where the car should be located. Whether it be a nearby city or state or a different island all together, the company has the entirely same procedure and approach to every single transportation arrangement, because this is the only way for its business to run smoothly.

Stress Free Car Transportation

Last but not least, aside of all the obvious benefits of hiring a transportation company such as saving time and money, you are using this service to remain stress free. Stress that can be caused by traffic, unpredicted weather conditions, expensive hotel bills, bad service at restaurants, a popped tire or a bunch of other unpredictable situations which we wish would never happen, but trust us unfortunately they do. After 20 years in the transportation industry and time on the road we have learned to be prepared for all possible obstacles we might run into and how to deal with them to make sure that we arrive at the agreed upon time at the agreed upon place!
