What’s the Best Way to Move My Car in a Long Distance Move?

If you’ve ever wondered what the best options are for transporting your vehicle in long distance residential moves, worry no more. Read on to discover the options available to help make this move less stressful for you and your family. Whether you have a car or truck, a personal or recreational vehicle, a new hotrod, or a grocery-getter with a lot of miles, you are going to need to get it there, safely and securely.

Thinking about Handling Residential Moves on Your Own?

You could decide to move the automobile yourself, but that could be difficult depending on what type of vehicle it is and what kind of condition it’s in. Also, if you have multiple vehicles, you could run into trouble finding enough drivers to help you transport.

You must also consider the cost of driving your own vehicle. There is the obvious cost of gas, but there is also the cost on your vehicle—wear and tear and mileage—as well as the cost of your time. One other thing to keep in mind: the unmeasurable cost on your health—driving long distances can take a toll on your body, your sleep, and your emotional state from the mental and physical stress.

Considering a Moving Service to Help with Your Residential Move?

If you haven’t considered a professional moving service yet, you should. While the benefits to using a moving service to help you transport furniture and other possessions are well-known, most people don’t realize there are transporting options for your automobile as well.

A good moving service can help you pack with care, help you move your belongings with you wherever you need to go, and can also transport your vehicles—all the while, making your move as easy and stress-free as possible. At Nilson Van, we are here to help you with any and all of your moving needs, including your automobile transport. Contact our team of residential moving experts to find out how we can help you with your long distance residential moves.
