There are several points to factor in when you are considering to either drive your car, or have it shipped by a professional auto transport company.  If you are going to consider immediate cost, probably 90% of the time it will be cheaper to drive the car yourself.  However, there are several factors to consider with car shipping when you are looking at everything.  First would be that if your vehicle is transported there will be no additional miles on the car and therefore no wear and tear.  Second will be the headache of the drive, especially if it is cross country.  We have received calls from people who thought it would be fun and half way stopped and just had a truck pick it up and flew the rest of the way home.  Finally, you know up front exactly what the total cost will be.  You don’t have to factor in hotels and food into the equation.  You will know total cost door-to-door will be “x.”
