City Spotlight: Auto Shipping Long Beach

Long Beach is a popular auto shipping destination for several reasons. For starters, it's close to Los Angeles and is a major tourist trap; second, it's a big city with lots to do, a growing population and burgeoning economy; third, it's a major port that sees ships transport vehicles to Hawaii all the time, so most shipments to Hawaii have to go through the city; and fourth, it's in California and doesn't see any snow at any time, really. So there's a lot of reasons why auto shippers like shipping to Long Beach.

And because they like to ship there, you're going to get some good deals. Not only is it going to be super easy for you to find a carrier (depending on the pickup city, of course - if you're shipping from the boonies or a snow-covered city, you may have a harder time), but it's almost always going to be at a pretty good price.

Auto Shipping by State: Tennessee

Tennessee is one of those states that can be easy to ship to, but it really depends on where exactly in the state you're looking for auto shipping services to. With cities like Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis within its borders, Tennessee is definitely a popular (and populous) state, but its geography and seasonal compositions make it difficult for shippers to get and from certain areas at certain times.

Watch the weather reports in the winter months to see if snow and wintry weather will be affecting your car transport, and be sure to talk to your car shipping company about ways to save money shipping either to or from the state. You can also read more about Tennessee by visiting our official Auto Shipping to Tennessee article on our website.

The FAQ's: Overseas Shipping

Wen it comes to overseas shipping of vehicles, there are a few different things that that statement could mean - are you shipping to Alaska or Hawaii? From the U.S. to another country, or the other way around? Different shipping locations can alter your price, availability of shippers, pickup and delivery times and more, so it's important to understand the distinctions.

We can provide quotes for you to ship your vehicle from the U.S. to Alaska, Hawaii, or any international port. We can't provide shipping quotes to landlocked countries (i.e. a country that has no borders on the ocean, and as such no ports for overseas shippers to ship to) - we could ship to a port in a country with a port, but you would need to arrange shipping with a company located overseas. It works the same if you're shipping into the U.S. from another country; for instance, if you were shipping from Great Britain to the U.S., you would need to contact a British shipping company to arrange overseas transportation.

You can read more about overseas auto transport right on our homepage. Just scroll down to the "Automobile Shipping Learning Center" to find out more.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Chicago

The Windy City, home of the Cubs and the Bears and the Bulls, just so happens to be one of the most popular auto transport destinations in the U.S. Since its founding in the early 19th century, Chicago has been a major transportation hub due to its location even before the advent of the interstate highway system or the automobile or the car transport truck, and even today it remains a vital part of the countrywide U.S. infrastructure.

Thanks to its popularity and location, it's quite a popular auto transport destination during the summer months especially, when the weather is nice and tons of people are moving every which way. Hundreds of thousands of vehicles are shipped every year across the U.S., and Chicago is one of the top 5 destinations, which helps keep prices lower for customers and pickup often occurs in less time than in other cities.

It's a great place to live, too, or so I hear - but if you're moving there I'll let you be the final judge of that. Regardless, you can read more about the city and how to get free quotes to ship your car there by visiting our helpful auto shipping to Chicago page.

Oakland, located just on the other side of the bay from San Francisco, is quite a popular auto transport destination, but maybe not as much as, say, New York City or Los Angeles - but it's pretty up there.

Because of the ease of access to Oakland, many car shippers find it easy to ship in and out of the city, which means you stand to save some money (and some time) if you're shipping your vehicle to or from Oakland, California.
