The holiday season is a wonderful time of year, and while car shipping services are still available, here are a couple holiday car shipping tips to keep in mind.
- Truck drivers want to spend time with their families during the holiday season, just like you.
This is especially true during the Thanksgiving weekend, and the week between Christmas and New Years. Its best to try and avoid those dates for car shipping because so many drivers in the auto transport world are taking those dates off too.
- Expect longer transit times
Longer transit times are normal for the holiday season, not only due to driver availability, but because of more traffic on the roads, and winter road conditions.
- Prepare to pay a bit more
It's basic supply and demand, when there are fewer car haulers available, and lots of cars to ship, car carriers will haul the cars that pay the most first, and work down from there. So, if you have strict timeline concerns, be prepared to compensate the carriers competitively.
- Be flexible with your shipping dates, and you'll be fine.
You can still get your car shipped from point A to point B during the holidays, if you are flexible with your schedule and rates. Have a back up plan for potential delays, and avoid those busy Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years dates.
