Auto Transportation Possible Complications

One of the most common situations when it comes to car shipping is the misunderstandings that the auto transport companies and the clients may have during the car shipping process.

We invite you to consider the following:

To better understand auto transportation we ask you to compare the car shipping service with an airline service.

In order for you to book an airline ticket you need to know exactly where are you going, the budget you have, the timeframes you have, the luggage you are bringing with you and the type of service you need as well.

For example, let’s say you are moving from Edmonton, AB to Maple, Ontario ON.

You have to consider that not all airlines go from Edmonton to Maple. Most of them will go Edmonton to Toronto as a terminal to terminal service, and maybe from Toronto you may have to take a bus, a taxi or catch a ride to reach your final destination, that is Maple.

During this process you may encounter layovers or delays. This means that your plane might have to stop in Winnipeg and you might have to board a new plane there to go to Toronto. Delays may occur in the meantime, due to mechanical problems, weather, or technical issues in the airline.

Same things happen in the car shipping business. Trucks may have to make stops at different terminals to make drop offs and pick-ups. Trucks can also be delayed due to mechanical problems, weather or technical issues.

Some airlines allow you to take one suitcase with you and one on the plane, others may charge you per bag, and even overweight. Car shipping process is the same situation. Some services allow content inside the vehicle, some other not, and weight limits are something you should always check with the car shipping company or the auto transport dispatch team.

Types of services in airlines are common now a day. You may choose first class, regular, first boarding, etc. In car shipping industry a similar situation happens. There are different services available like open car carrier, enclosed auto shopping and rail auto moving service.

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.

This will also help you get rid of things you really don't need or want anymore.

One of ShipMyRide’s expertise is private relocation. What does this mean? When a customer is moving to another city or province, we help them move their vehicle to their new address. But, why do Canadians move? There are major reasons that make Canadians move, which include: · A new addition to the family · Job relocation · A decrease in family members · Retirement · An increase in cash flow, etc. To break it down by the numbers, most Canadians move because of: • Family size increase (marriage, kids etc.) – 42% • Job relocation – 37%, but much higher in Alberta – 53% • Family size decrease (divorce, death, empty nest etc.) – 20% • Retirement – 18% • Came into more money – 14% • Home was...

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.
