Online Auction Buyers Get Preferred Car Shipping Rates
The
internet has made it easier for car buyers to find the perfect vehicle,
regardless of its location throughout the United States. Online
auctions offer detailed information, CarFax reports, images, car
reviews, buyers protection and more so that purchasing a vehicle online
is a simple as going to your local car dealer.
One challenge when
buying a vehicle online from a website such as eBay Motors, is that you
will need to consider the transportation costs to get the vehicle to
your driveway. Coast-to-Coast auto transport can take 6-8 days.
Many
buyers will consider flying out or driving out with a friend or family
member and bringing back the vehicle themselves. When taking in to
consideration flight or fuel costs, lodging, and ancillary expenses, not
to loss of time from work or home, you may find that shipping a car
with a car shipping carrier is a cost-effective and less time-consuming
option.
A great tool for estimating the travel cost is the cost
calculator at travelmath.com. Travel Math will help you measure the
distance between your origin and destination, calculate the total drive
time, recommend overnight stays and estimated the costs of those
overnight stay. Compare the results of this free cost calculator too to
the auto transport companies rates. Here is an example of an estimate.
The average fuel cost in Missouri was $3.06/gallon. The average fuel
cost in California was $3.30. So we estimated the cost to ship from
Kansas City to San Diego at an average fuel costs of $3.18/gallon. Based
on this information, current on January 10, 2014, a round trip to San
Diego and back would cost $408.82 in fuel costs alone! This does not
include hotels along the way, fuel or loss of time from work or home.
Reliable
auto transport brokers can offer preferred car shipping rates to online
auction buyers because of the large volume of transactions completely
every day and the potential for a steady flow of new clients.
Competitive and accurate auto transport rate quotes can be obtained by
locating an auto transport companies with 4 to 5 star customer
satisfaction ratings. Auto Transport Review websites like
transportreviews.com are a great place to locate these 5 star auto
transport brokers.
