Suitable Options for Transporting your Car, Weighing risk versus cost

The family car is a vital an important tool for every family. When you move from one place to another, moving cars can end up being almost as much of a hassle as moving all your household belongings. Luckily, there are a number of options available for transporting vehicles.

You could just drive it yourself. If that is the case you better have someone else that can drive the moving truck. By paying someone to move your household possesions you can have someone share the driving responsibilities with you. Either way you will end up spending a lot of time in your car- a lot.

You could hire someone to drive your car for you. There actually auto transport companies that offer this service. This means of moving cars is not too common; people are generally not too eager to give the keys to the car to a complete stranger.

If you are thinking of engaging a vehicle transport company in shipping a car to your new destination then you might as well use one of the many types of vehicle hauling methods at their disposal. Open trailers are the most common companies use. Typically they have two levels and hold up to ten vehicles. This is the most cost effective way of shipping a car although it does expose your vehicle to the elements and other sources of damage. Enclosed containers are available for those that are willing to spend a little more in shipping their car.

In the end, the most suitable option is the one which costs something which you can afford and has a minimal level of risk.
