Hire Auto Movers vs. Sell Your Car

 When you move to a new city, your focus is probably how you are going to get all of you stuff from one place to the next with a good Oregon moving company. What you might neglect to think about is what to do with your car. While you could certainly hop behind the wheel and drive across the nation to your new destination, that may not be the most practical option for your needs. So, if driving your hot ride to your new home is not possible, you have two options: selling your car or hiring auto movers.

Option 1: Sell Your Car

If you are living in Tampa and planning a move to Portland, it is probably not worth your time to drive that distance across the country.  You could plan to sell your car before the move.

Beware, selling your car (for a reasonable price of course) can take a lot of time. There is no promise that you will find a buyer before your move date. Not to mention, if you need to buy a new car once you arrive in your new city, it adds a lot more time and hassle, especially if you are under a time crunch.

On top of how long selling your car will take, you need to determine if it is literally worth your time. Will selling your car actually save you money? How much is your time worth in this equation? These are all factors you will have to think about if you choose to sell your car rather than pay the car shipping cost.

The best time to sell your car would be if you are moving to a city where public transportation is prevalent and having an automobile is no longer necessary. It would be best if you were familiar enough with the new city that you can justify that having a car would be more costly than not.

 

Option 2: Hire Auto Movers

When searching for Portland relocation services, you should look in to those that are also Portland auto movers. The obvious benefits of using an auto transport company is the fact that you will have your car with you in the new city. Shipping your car will save you the headache of selling your car and having to buy a new one. You can also be content that you will be saving your vehicle the miles from the long trip.

The biggest question most people have about hiring auto movers is the car shipping cost. If you look at many Oregon moving companies, you will find varying costs of car shipping. Some big factors affecting the cost are the size of the vehicle and the distance to be traveled. You will have to contact Oregon movers directly for price quotes.

 

Whether you have an old truck, an antique car, or a swanky motorcycle, All My Sons Moving & Storage Portland is an auto transport company that can get your precious cargo for your move to Portland or wherever your new home may be without a scratch.
