Reasons for Vehicle Shipping vs. Buying New or Driving
Whether you're moving to a new coast or a new country, you may feel tempted to drive your car or purchase a new one once you arrive rather than look into car shipping services. While everyone loves the smell of a brand-new car, this isn't the most cost-effective route you can take.
