City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Tulsa

Shipping a vehicle to Tulsa, Oklahoma can be difficult, depending on where you're shipping from and to. The city has a population of over 300,000 residents - that's a pretty decent-sized city, but it's no New York City or Chicago, that's for sure. It's only the second-largest city in the state of Oklahoma, but it's still a fairly popular auto transport location regardless.

If you're shipping to or from Tulsa, we recommend talking to a car transport representative about anything that might ultimately alter the price of your vehicle shipping. This includes inclement weather conditions, traffic and road conditions, tornado warnings, and much more. The city is a great city to live in, so we're told, and we can get you free car shipping quotes to ship from anywhere, to anywhere in the U.S., including Tulsa, Oklahoma. You can also visit our auto shipping to Tulsa article to read more about the city itself and how you can go about getting the best rates for car transport or vehicle shipping services.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to San Diego

With a population of over 1.3 million residents, the city of San Diego is the 9th largest city in the U.S. and the second-largest in the state of California. It's a popular auto transport destination due to its beautiful location on the southern California coast, and is a major transportation network in the region where it lies.

When it comes to shipping a car to the city, it's generally going to be quick and fairly cheap. San Diego is a popular auto transport location, like we mentioned, but it's not just popular for customers; many auto transport carriers will include San Diego in its cross-country routes, and oftentimes will run several different vehicles to the city at the same time. Prices can increase during the height of the summer season, as there is typically an influx of customers looking to ship to the city, but on the whole prices are relatively low on a per-mile basis for much of the year.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Birmingham

Founded during the heart of the Reconstruction period, Birmingham has been a major transportation and manufacturing center in the state of Alabama since its founding. Though its foundation was laid in part thanks to a major railroad junction, the city has boomed into one of the primary pillars of the manufacturing sector of Alabama proper - not to mention a fairly popular auto shipping destination.

Birmingham lies on several major north-south and east-west interstate routes, making it easy for auto shippers to transport cars to, from and through the city. Prices stay pretty standard on a per-mile basis throughout the year; shipping numbers stay fairly consistent throughout the year, whereas in many other areas prices could go up or down, depending on whether or not carriers are going to the area of if there is a large number of customers shipping in or out of a specific area. This means that your auto transport prices won't change too drastically, on the whole.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Long Beach

Long Beach is a very popular city located on the southern California coast. Not only is it popular as a resort and beach location, but also for its major port - it's one of the largest ports on the west coast and one of the largest auto transport companies that handles overseas transportation is located in the city. When it comes to auto shipping to Long Beach, it's easy enough to arrange; many carriers transport vehicles to Long Beach year-round, mainly because they're taking them to the port.

But it's not just for the port that people ship there. It's a rather large city in the state of California and, for your trivia fact of the day, it is the largest city in the U.S. that is not a county seat. It may not be much, but it's something, anyway. The city, aside from being a major port, is also considered to be a major industrial extension of nearby Los Angeles. You can read more about the city by visiting our Auto Shipping to Long Beach page, and you can get free auto transport quotes to or from the city by filling out our free online quote request form.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Cincinnati

Did you know that Cincinnati is widely known as America's first boom town? It was the first true inland city - a city off of a major coastline - and was founded pretty late in the game, as far as towns in Ohio were concerned. But it boomed rapidly, and virtually overnight turned into a major economic powerhouse, as well as a major transportation hub in the state of Ohio.

During the early half of the 20th century the city reveled in the economic booms, and was largely unaffected by the huge swath of unemployment that gripped the nation during the Great Depression; with strong ties to manufacturing and transportation, Cincinnati didn't begin to start to wane until the 1970's, when manufacturing jobs began to disappear. Auto transport to the city is pretty easy to achieve during the summer months, but can be more expensive and take a bit longer in the winter months thanks to the bad weather. You can read more about the city of Cincinnati by visiting our Auto Shipping to Cincinnati page.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Vancouver

$20 says you assumed this blog post was about shipping a car to Vancouver, BC - but it's not! Believe it or not (and if you're not from the Pacific Northwest you probably won't believe it) there's actually a city named Vancouver just 300 miles south from Vancouver, BC, located in Washington State. It's actually a county seat, and has a pretty decent population for its size.

When it comes to shipping a car to or from Vancouver, you're in luck. It lies between Seattle and Portland, Oregon, and lies directly on a major interstate highway frequented by auto transport carriers, making it easy for them to get to and from the city. Snow is fairly uncommon during the winter months, which makes car shipping prices that much lower and easier to afford for most people. If you're looking to ship a car to Vancouver, Washington, you can check out our Auto Shipping Vancouver page for more information.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Columbia

First off, no, we're not talking about the country. We're talking about the city in South Carolina. We know, there are a lot of cities out there named Columbia, but in this specific blog we're going to be talking about Columbia, South Carolina - probably the most well-known of all the cities in the U.S. named Columbia anyway - and nothing else.

Now that we've got that out of the way, Columbia is actually a pretty easy city for shippers to get to and from, pretty much year-round, which makes it great if you're looking to ship there during the winter months. Winter auto shipping can be a major hassle, especially if you're shipping to the northern states, but if you're shipping to Columbia you really don't have to worry about snow or anything because it doesn't really get much. If you're shipping from New England, though, you may have a harder time finding a carrier to pick it up - but taking it to Columbia isn't a problem.

Anyway, you can read more about the city itself by visiting our Auto Shipping to Columbia page on our official website.

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. You can get a free quote from our website by filling out our free quote form and you can read more about shipping vehicles to Long Beach via our helpful Auto Shipping to Long Beach article.

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.

City Spotlight: Oakland Auto Shipping

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. But what makes Oakland so easy to ship to is the fact that it lies right along several major interstates, including a major north-south and east-west interstate.

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. You can fill out our free online auto shipping quote request form if you're looking for Oakland auto shipping services, and you'll receive multiple free quotes from our reputable and reliable car shippers. You can also read more about the city itself by visiting our official Oakland auto shipping page on our website.

City Spotlight: Kansas City Auto Shipping

Now, in article, we're discussing Kansas City, MO, not Kansas City, KS - it's easy to confuse the two, especially considering they're really, really close to each other (and really, when it comes down to it, it probably won't cost you an arm and a leg to ship to either of them). Kansas City is a popular auto transport city, especially during the spring and fall months when the weather is more rainy than anything else.

Snow and ice are not friends of auto shippers, so they try and avoid them. Kansas City is great for avoiding snow and ice, on the whole, especially before the deep winter sets in - but even in the winter months it's not that difficult to ship a vehicle to or from the city. You can learn more about Kansas City by reading our auto shipping to Kansas City article, and you can always get free vehicle shipping quotes by visiting our website.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Jacksonville

There are several different cities named Jacksonville in the U.S. - okay, maybe more than several. A handful? I know for sure there's one in North Carolina, but there are a total of eight states that have a city named Jacksonville in them - that's a lot of Jacksonvilles! In this blog post we're going to be talking about shipping a car to Jacksonville, Florida, perhaps the most well-known of the eight different Jacksonvilles in the U.S.

As the county seat of Duval County, in Florida, Jacksonville is fairly popular in terms of auto transport. Started as a small army outpost during the early 19th cenutry, the city grew thanks to its location and has slowly evolved into a major area of trade and commerce in the northeastern corner of the state. Shipping to Jacksonville is relatively cheap year-round, depending on where you're shipping from; seasonal weather doesn't have much effect, except during the late summer and into the fall (because of hurricane season). You can read more about the city itself by visiting our helpful Auto Shipping to Jacksonville article on our website.

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.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach is a resort city located on the eastern shores of the state of Virginia. Despite its size, it continues to be a major auto transport location and one that plenty of people like to move to every single year. Prices will tend to go up during the summer months, as there will undoubtedly be more people shipping to Virginia Beach during the summer and there typically aren't any additional trucks running routes there.

But that's okay, because during the fall and winter months, prices tend to drop a bit - not a lot, perhaps, but a little bit. Be careful during hurricane season, though; Virginia Beach may not get hit hard by hurricanes (like Florida or Louisiana), but it's seen its fair share through the years, and as such most auto shippers are pretty wary about shipping through the area during hurricane season. You can read more about the city by visiting our official auto shipping to Virginia Beach article and you can get some free shipping quotes by filling out our free online car transport quote request form at the top of every page on our website.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Los Angeles

As the second largest city in the U.S. and the largest city in the state of California, Los Angeles is one of the most popular auto transport destinations in the United States and sees a lot of people shipping vehicles to, from and through the city every single day. It's considered an Alpha world city, meaning it is a major center of international finance and culture, and we really can't disagree with that.

It's the home of the Port of Los Angeles, one of the busiest ports on the west coast that handles international and overseas shipping of goods such as foodstuffs, manufacturing items, and vehicles. Since its founding in the 19th century it grew rapidly and today has over 3.8 million residents - a far cry from the 8.2 million in New York, but still a lot more than the third highest city, Chicago (which has just 2.7 million residents). You can read more about the city of Los Angeles by visiting our official Auto Shipping to Los Angeles page on our website, and you can also get free quotes to ship your vehicle to anywhere, from anywhere in the U.S., including L.A., by filling out our free online auto shipping quote request form.

City Spotlight: Memphis Auto Shipping

Memphis is a popular city in the state of Tennessee, characterized by hot, humid summer days and chilly, breezy winter nights. First founded in the late 18th century, Memphis grew into a major agricultural powerhouse until the end of the American Civil War, when it began to turn to more manufacturing and less cotton (thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation), but today it is still considered to be a vital agricultural center of the state.

Transporting a vehicle to Memphis is usually pretty easy and cost-effective during the summer months, given its location and relatively nice weather throughout most of the year. There are times when auto transporters just aren't in the area, of course, but there's usually someone no more than a few days outside of Memphis going in that your auto shipper can dispatch your vehicle to. You can fill out our free form to get some quotes from reputable and reliable car shippers, and you can also read more about the city by visiting our auto shipping to Memphis page on our website.

Auto Shipping by State: An Intro

Just like we started the city spotlight series (and you can check out our first post in that series via last week's post), we're starting up our brand-new auto shipping by state series, which will focus on the auto transport process when shipping to or from specific states in the U.S. We're going to be adding them on Wednesdays, of course, and we'll be alternating between our City Spotlight and Auto Shipping by State posts every week, so make sure you keep coming back for more.

Every post in our Auto Shipping by State series will cover a state that we have an article about, including Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington D.C. You'll learn some of the finer details, such as how seasonal shipping can affect your automobile shipping quotes and rates, as well as some cool information regarding each state. You can read about each state yourself via our auto shipping by state index, in case the state you're shipping to or from has yet to be covered in our blog.

City Spotlight: New York City

New York City, the City that Never Sleeps, the Big Apple - there are so many nicknames for New York City that I can't even list them all. It's the most well-known city in the U.S., home to over 8 million residents in the city proper. Four of its five boroughs (The Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens) have over a million people living in them and would rank in the top 10 cities in the U.S. if they were independent cities.

The mass amount of people makes getting auto shipping quotes to or from the city relatively easy, though getting into the city itself can be a challenge for auto transport carriers. Because of its long history, New York City's streets are relatively narrow and auto transport trucks have a hard time maneuvering within them. It doesn't help that in areas like Manhattan they can't even go there at all, due to city ordinances preventing large trucks from roaming the crowded streets of New York's busiest area, but it's easy enough to get quotes to ship near New York, or to one of the other boroughs - so long as the truck can get there.

You can fill out our free form to get quotes from multiple reliable auto shipping companies who can give you the full lowdown on shipping to New York City, and you can also visit our own New York Auto Shipping page on our website if you're looking for more information.

Introducing City Spotlight

We're unveiling one of new recurring topics here on the ASQ blog - the City Spotlight! Each installment of the City Spotlight series will focus on one of the top 200 auto transport destinations in the United States, to help you if you're shipping to or from that particular city. Insightful information will always be presented, and we'll also provide links to each individual city's auto shipping article on our homepage.

We'll cover things that you need to know about shipping a car to each city that we spotlight; for instance, if we're discussing Fargo, North Dakota, we may make mention of the fact that shipping your vehicle to Fargo in the winter time can be hard to find and expensive to do because shippers don't like the cold weather. That's just an example, of course, but it's a very important example.

You can check out our entire list of cities by visiting our auto shipping by city index, which is a long list of every auto shipping by city article we have on our website - we're still working on getting the ordering right, but a simple Ctrl+F function can find a specific city for you with relative ease. Check it out!
