Auto Shipping by State: Montana

With the largest city in the state of Montana being Billings, with just over 104,000 residents, and the smallest city being Ismay, with just 19, Montana is definitely a city of minor extremes. Sure, 104,000 people won't crack the Top 50 cities in the U.S., but it is a cool place to live, according to people I know who have lived there - except there isn't much to do, they say, and auto transport services (from my experiences) are really hard to find going to Montana.

Montana is known for its snowy winters, so if you're going to ship to Montana you'll want to try to ship in the summer months, when the skies are clear - it is Big Sky Country, after all, in Montana. But that doesn't mean it's going to come cheap, because auto shippers don't like shipping to areas that don't have a lot of people in them - less chances for new loads after they drop a vehicle off, and that doesn't sit well with most shippers.

City Spotlight: Dallas Auto Shipping

Dallas, despite its size, is actually one of the most popular auto shipping locations in the state of Texas and continually tops top-10 lists of most popular auto transport or auto shipping cities. It's located in the heart of the state of Texas, and with many interstate highways and major state routes running through the city (and its size, that definitely helps the cause) it's definitely a favorite of many shipping companies.

It also helps that it's located in Texas, in the desert, which means that there's not a lot of snow falling on Dallas during the year - which, in turn, means that more shippers will likely travel there during the winter months as well as during the summer, which helps lower winter auto transport prices for you and makes everything a bit easier in the long run.

You can visit our website and get some free quotes from reputable and reliable car transport companies to ship your vehicle to or from Dallas (or, truly, anywhere in the U.S.), and you can also read more about the city by visiting our official auto shipping to Dallas page on our website.

Auto Shipping by State: Hawaii

Hawaii is one of those states that most shipping companies will have a separate auto transport quote process for, because it's one of only two states that lies outside of the contiguous United States. We cover auto transport and auto shipping to both Alaska and Hawaii in our Automobile Shipping Learning Center, but it's always nice to have a bit of a refresher as well.

For starters, Hawaii is going to be more expensive to ship to than most cities in the U.S. because you're going to have to ship it overseas. This means working with two different physical shipping companies in addition to your car transport company - the car transport carrier will ship your vehicle to the port (most likely in Long Beach, CA) and then the port shipping company which owns and operates the cargo ship will transport it on said cargo ship to the port in Hawaii.

You can get up to ten free quotes to ship your vehicle to or from Hawaii by following the link we provided above; it takes you to our homepage, where you can fill out our form at the top, as well as scroll down to our Automobile Shipping Learning Center, which is at the bottom of the homepage. 

Happy 4th from Automobile Shipping Quotes!

On this momentous day in history, our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence, one of the most important documents in United States history. To celebrate, each year we surround ourselves with family and friends, barbecue hot dogs and hamburgers and have an awesome time watching fireworks and lighting them off yourself (unless you live in Oregon, where you can't have any fireworks go higher than six feet...poor Oregonians). 

So today, we're taking a small break from our different blog series' and focusing on remembering today in its entirety. Most auto transport companies will be closed for today, as the entire nation - except for some service industries, like fast food - takes a break to celebrate our freedom. Of course, we're still working - if you call us, someone will probably answer the phone (though it won't be me!), and you can always visit our website and fill out our free online quote form, because the internet never sleeps. 

So happy 4th of July to everyone out there, and have a safe and happy holiday from us here at Automobile Shipping Quotes!
