Auto Shipping by State: New York

We've talked about New York City on this blog before, but unless you've read our Auto Shipping to New York article on our website, you may not know about the intricacies of shipping a vehicle to New York state, which can be a problem for you - which is why we're writing this blog post, so you can be informed and know a bit more about what you may be getting into when you're shipping a vehicle to New York state.

Most customers that ship a vehicle to New York state want to ship to somewhere near New York City, which is completely understandable considering just how many people live and work in the city itself. But New York is a big state, and auto transport to places in western New York like Rochester or Buffalo can be a bit harder. Upstate New York can be difficult too, considering that there's a giant forest preserve cutting through much of the northern areas. You should definitely talk to your car transport representative about where in New York you're shipping to or from and how you can save some extra money when shipping to or from the state.

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.

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.

New Blog Format has Arrived!

In anticipation of our new website development projects we have lined up, we're going to be taking a different approach at our blogroll. Instead of focusing mainly on auto industry news and how it relates to the auto shipping world, we're going to go a bit more introvert and discuss some of the great things about our website and what you can explore and find there. Once a week - typically on Wednesdays - we'll post a small blog about one of the pages on our website, to help our customers find more information regarding the auto transport industry and how we can help them get the most of their car transportation experience.

Follow along as we shine a spotlight on some of the most important information in the industry. We're planning on running a few different segments on this blog, including a breakdown of various states and cities and how auto transport services work going to and from, as well as various frequently asked questions and maybe even some one-off blog posts about something cool that we find during our ramblings through the vast spaces of the internet. We're excited about this new change, and we hope you all are too.

My name's Dave, and I'll be your guide through our great website. Check out our other blog posts, and our archives will always be there, detailing great auto industry news and information.

Fuel Efficiency Key For Buyers

According to a report published by Edmunds.com, people are wanting fuel efficient compact cars, mid-size cars and small SUV's, with sales of those types of vehicle constituting 40% of all March sales so far. Vehicles like the Chevy Sonic, Ford Fusion and Toyota Prius are selling incredibly well, while the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima did well in their own categories. This comes as little surprise, considering the current state of the world, especially when it comes to fuel prices, which have been skyrocketing the past few months. Auto transportation companies haven't noticed a huge change in the number of vehicles being shipped, but chances are people are shopping more locally as opposed to online when they're looking for fuel-efficient, cheap vehicles. Who wants to ship a car when they can pick the same one up at their local dealership? But regardless, things are looking up for consumers, who traditionally want cheap, reliable, efficient vehicles. Here's to hoping that automobile manufacturers actually get on board with what their customers REALLY want.
