Expenses to consider if you drive your ride


The first expense and the most considerable one is the gas, since it varies from province to province and from vehicle to vehicle; this might affect your budget in a considerable way..

As a second expense we consider the meals of the day which are at least 3, but also every time you stop for gas at a gas station there is a convenience store so adding a can of soda, chips and snacks increases your expenses.

Hotels is the next expense that will affect your budget. It depends on what type of hotels you want to spend the night in, it is really important that you feel rested before you drive your vehicle so you don’t cause any car accidents on the road, never underestimate your hours of sleep. This might save your life.

In case of a flat tire or any other car breakdown you need to carry some extra cash for these types of expenses, this will also affect the amount of time it will take you to get from a place 
to another.

Also you must consider the depreciation on the vehicle while if you're going to drive it all the way to your new location, since you are adding extra mileage to the vehicle and if you were planning to sell the unit this might affect the price that you were looking to obtain when you sell it.


Weather conditions - Big factor to ship your ride 

Also you need to be aware of the weather conditions in the areas where you are going to drive the vehicle, if the weather is too bad you have to be prepared with supplies because sometimes highways are closed or roads are slippery so you have to be careful with the way you drive.

These are some of the things that need to be considered before driving a car. This is why at SHIP MY RIDE recommends to ship a vehicle in a car carrier instead of driving. We have expert drivers who are aware of everything that we have mentioned on this article.

Moving Tips - Changing homes isn't always easy

We recently moved offices and got us thinking about all our customers that have to relocate to a new home. While packing, we decided to put together some of the things we did to make our move as smooth as possible. We thought this would be helpful for people moving to a new city, or a new home. Before you start packing Clean before your start putting things in boxes. You don't want dust coming from the old place to the new one. This will also help you get rid of things you really don't need or want anymore. Once you have sorted the things you actually want to take, you can decide whether you can donate the things you don't need anymore. Separate your items in categories like: glassware, cleaning supplies, bedding, etc. This way when you pack, you can sort things in a more organized way. Label your boxes. By category, or by room, you  can even mark which side must go up. Before you disconnect your electronics, take a picture, this way you will know where all t...

Canada's Gasoline Prices - Understanding Changing Prices

There are several factors that affect the prices at the pumps in Canada. Some prices might change day to day or pump to pump, or even province to province. It’s hard to keep up, but below is some basic information that can be used to understand the fuel prices at gas stations. The price at the pump for a litre of gasoline is calculated by the price of crude oil, the cost of refining that crude, marketing and distribution costs, taxes and, of course, profits to the seller (considering the people/company who extract the oil all the way to the pump with the end product). Prices vary from province to province due to the cost of transportation and taxes provincial and municipal. The amount of fuel a station can sell may also affect end price.

Canada’s 5 best-selling vehicles for the first 6 months of 2018

Best selling vehicles in Canada This June, there was a 2 per cent drop in total sales  and the first-half of 2018 ends as the second-strongest start to the year in Canadian history. Canadians have bought and leased more than 2 million vehicles in 2018 for just the second time ever, but that’s with fewer total sales than last year. More Canadians are acquiring new vehicles by getting into longer-term loans, having been attracted to car dealer showrooms with strong incentives but still the Canadian auto industry may not be as healthy as it appears on paper.   Vehicle sales in the first 6 months of 2018 According to Global Automakers of Canada, 1.04 million new vehicles were sold between January and June. Surprisingly the most popular vehicles on which the industry depends for great swathes of volume, are suffering substantial demand decreases. Honda and Toyota, for instance, sold nearly 5,000 fewer Corollas and Civics in the first-half of 2018 compared wi...
