• Schedule your pickup date, time and a location with your trucker. Montway drivers can even pick up your vehicle while you’re at work.
• Go about your day. Really, once your car is out of your hands, you can continue to do what you need: work, pack, hop on your flight or book your train or bus ticket. And you can even check in as often as you like using online chat with your trucker to stay updated.
• Pick up your car. Once your vehicle is almost to its new home, your trucker will give you a call. Your driver can release your car at your new home or at a nearby agreed-upon location. At pickup, you will inspect your car and sign some paperwork, officially accepting the delivery.

Benefits of Car Shipping

If you are preparing for your long-distance move, you’re probably asking yourself, “Should I drive or ship my car?” As we weight the pros and cons of each option —  shipping, driving, selling —  consider the following factors when choosing whether to ship your car:

• Geography: Will you have to drive through mountains, areas with high potential for bad weather or areas with no sign of civilization or GPS service?
• Budget: Depending on how many days/miles you will be driving, consider the costs of gas, lodging, food and missed days at work.
• Car condition: How is your car holding up these days? Before considering taking your car on a long journey, be sure to have it examined by an auto mechanic to check its vitals, like the battery, brakes and tires.

Choosing to drive or ship your car can feel like a challenging decision to make. Not only is the safety and condition of your car and drive at stake, but also your own time and money. Here are some benefits of using a car transporting service:

• Save time. If you are planning to move out of state, driving can take days. This means lots of gas-station stops and hotel stays, not to mention being stuck in a car for hours on end. Auto shipping is perfect for the busy individual or family who does not want to spend the time, money or energy driving for days when they could be focusing on other things, like moving into their new home.
• Save energy. Unfortunately, cars are not able to completely drive themselves yet. Instead of consuming ample amounts of coffee during a long road trip packed with your belongings, let us do that for you. This way, you can sit back and meet us at your destination via plane, train, bus or even car-pooling with others.
• Some people simply feel safer when traveling by plane or other means of public transportation. When you ship your car, you avoid late-night stops and all the bad parts of towns you may have to pass through.
