Whether you own a Fortune 500 company or simply run a small business, your company vehicles are top priority. They are responsible for carrying your employees wherever they need to go to complete the work you need done. However, what if you find yourself needing to transport one of those company vehicles to another site location, or even more laborious, the entire fleet? That is the point where you find yourself looking into automobile transportation services and what each has to offer. There are two main types of auto transport services; trailer shipping and driveaway. Each has their own benefits and setbacks, and here we will explore them both.
Car Shipping Services
Car shipping services is when you pay an auto transport company to load your vehicle onto a trailer and haul it to its destination. This can keep you from adding unneeded mileage to the vehicle as well as possible damage along the trip. Typically you will have to arrange a way to take the vehicle to a meeting site (usually at the company base), and also find a way to get back home after you have dropped off the vehicle. To make the trip more economical these types of shipping services typically wait until they have a full trailer of vehicles before they will begin the journey. What if your vehicles aren’t the only ones on the trailer? The shipping company wants to make the trip as cost friendly to themselves as possible so all of the vehicles will more than likely be headed in the same direction. However, they will have to make stops along the way to unload the other vehicles at their destinations as well. It could be a timely process to get your vehicle to the location you desire.
Driveaway Services
Driveaway services work a little differently than car shipping services. This type of auto transport company will have a driver come to your location and drive the vehicle anywhere it needs to go. There are no detours or stops and you can accurately time delivery to suit your needs. You need to keep in mind that this option will add miles to your vehicle and general road wear from the trip. If your vehicle should break down, typically you would be responsible for a hotel for the driver and the vehicle will have to be repaired before the trip can be resumed. When seeking out this type of company you need to be sure that their drivers are all certified to drive the type of vehicle that you will be moving and that they have ample insurance to protect your vehicle in case of an accident. You get the services you need, when you need it and delivered on time. It is usually cheaper to use this type of company as opposed to a car shipping service.
