I imagine it would be quite a daunting task for someone who has never shipped a car before. Hence I decided to write a short car shipping guide that focus on the most crucial things to take note of based on my experiences.
Car Shipping Quote
The first thing to do is to determine your budget and then get a shipping quote. I usually get car shipping quotes from five different companies before narrowing my options. If the destination you are shipping to is remote or out of the “common” routes, be prepared to pay a lot more. Common routes are frequently traveled destinations by car shipping companies usually major cities and ports. Some shipping quotes will indicate whether the shipping route is common or out of the way.
Car Shipping Season
I did not realize that car shipping is seasonal until one of the car shipping company told me. Basically, there are some periods in the year where it is actually cheaper to ship your car assuming the destination is the same. It is best to ask the car shipping company about their rates throughout the year. You may realize that by delaying to ship your car by a month or two could save you hundreds of dollars.

Rising fuel prices have affected consumers in almost every market. Not only do you pay more to fill up at the pump, but prices on retail goods have increased in response to higher shipping costs.
Auto transport firms are one of the hardest hit industries as spiking fuel prices force them to raise their rates. Although this move has scared off some customers, higher gasoline prices make car shipping a more economical choice than driving yourself.
The Economics of Auto Transport
Gas costs for car shipping is lower because of the economy of scale. Consider that if you drive a car that gets 25 mpg to a destination 1000 miles away, you will use 40 gallons of gas.
Compare that to an average car carrier. Even an inefficient carrier gets at least 5 mpg – many get much higher mileages. If that truck carries a moderate load of six cars over a thousand miles it will use up 200 gallons of fuel. Those cars individually would use 240 gallons total so shipping saves 40 gallons. If it carries a dozen cars then it saves a whopping 280 gallons, more than half the fuel that would have been burned by self-driving. Read the rest of this entry »

Just a few years ago, the idea of electric cars was met with complete skepticism. Oh, sure, people said, the technology is there to make the cars, but drivers aren’t going to buy a car that can only drive 40 miles before you have to plug it in. The argument hasn’t changed much even as ranges increased in mileage. Now that hybrid electric cars are in the mainstream — and their acceptance is growing with each passing day — the conversation is turning to the next hurdle in the acceptance of electric cars. Where the heck do you plug them in to recharge? Here are five facts that help answer that question.
- Most electric vehicles will get all the charging they need at home.
- Many of the newest hybrid batteries can be charged from a low-cost 220V outlet, similar to the one used by any electric clothes dryer. Some can even be charged from a 110V outlet. An overnight charge is more than enough to power most cars for their daily driving needs.
- The driving range per overnight charge is up to 100 miles.
- The standard wisdom says that most electric cars get about 40 miles to a charge — far less mileage than most drivers typically drive in a day. However, most of the newer vehicles actually get between 70 miles and 100 miles to a full charge – about double the daily driving mileage of the typical driver.
- Many businesses are planning to install charging stations on site for customer convenience.
- Whole Foods and McDonalds are just two high profile examples of companies that see the benefits of making it convenient for customers to charge up their vehicles. Some other places you might expect to see public charging stations for EVs include parking garages, mall parking lots, hotels and motels and restaurants. In fact, anywhere that people park their cars for more than half an hour is a good candidate for one or more public charging stations.
- You don’t need a special plug and expensive equipment to charge an electric car.
- A lot of older information on the net tells you that you need a special, dedicated plug and costly equipment to charge your EV. That’s no longer true. The newer models of EVs in development can be charged on standard household current. Read the rest of this entry »
