After getting admission into a college, packing and transporting your property to your new school will attract a fascinating blend of exciting and stressful days. While you look forward to all the new experiences and people you will meet, there is also the stressful logistics of relocating your belongings. However, at Ghost Pepper Logistics, we take out the stress by providing hassle-free, cost-effective car shipping options for college students.
By employing our services, your car gets to your destination without any stress because we pick it up and deliver it to your new location in college. Easy-peasy.
Shipping your car is better than driving to college because of the danger of car crashes. Over 100,000 car crashes occur yearly because of driving fatigue, which can easily happen to a person driving to college. Driving to college usually means you are in a hurry to meet up with the first day’s activities. As a result, you may skip resting when you should do so, and you may also be tempted to drive at night. All of these increase your danger of having an accident.
Apart from car crashes, driving may also mean stopping to sleep at strange hotels where the safety of your personal life is not guaranteed.
It is far more likely to be a victim of theft while driving than when you have your car transported by a professional college student car shipping service. When driving, theft can occur when you stop your car on the road to get something. It may not be the car that is stolen, but maybe other personal items in the vehicle that were left exposed.
Furthermore, theft can occur at hotels. To summarize, you have more peace of mind concerning your vehicle and when you decide to ship it.
It goes without saying that it is far more convenient to have your car shipped than to drive yourself for several hours, depending on how far you’re going. Not everyone can drive for long, and you shouldn’t start with your college relocation if you haven’t done it in the past.
Furthermore, shipping services are speedy and reliable. Therefore, you don’t have to wait for too long before your vehicle arrives. In fact, you can schedule your car to arrive at your college the same day you get there or the day after.
This is something many ignore, but it’s very important. Don’t just leave your car and wait for its delivery. Instead, here are some smart things you can do before your vehicle is picked up.
Determine your date for resumption, and have your car arrive a day after that day or when it is most convenient. We do not recommend choosing the same day you arrive at school as the day for your vehicle to arrive because of the stress that is usually involved with the first day of resumption.
While having us deliver your car to the front of your college dorm is the most convenient for you, some colleges may object to this. Therefore, find out if door-to-door delivery will be allowed. If it is not allowed, don’t fret, our drivers can deliver it to the nearest terminal or any other location of your choice.
This decision depends mainly on your budget and whether you have insurance for your car. However, we generally advise that you go with the open carrier as a student because it helps you save costs, and any damage caused by the forces of nature can be subject to insurance.
The distance of your college. It only makes sense that the further the distance of your college from where you live, the more it will cost to transport your car.
The weight of the car. The car’s weight is another very important factor when it comes to cost. The heavier the vehicle, the more the shipping cost.
Fortunately, once you start with us, you get a tailor-made quote on what your car’s shipping may cost you.
There are several shipping companies out there. However, there are certain things that you can look out for to separate the best from the rest.
Registration and licensing: Ensure the company is registered and licensed. Furthermore, it must be willing to show evidence of these.
Customer reviews: There is no better way to measure the quality of service that a company offers than what its previous customers say about it. If you see mostly negative reviews, you should be wary of such a company. However, you should note that noticing a few negative reviews about a company is inevitable. Therefore, you should be focused on the overall reviews for the company.
Insurance details: The best companies offer insurance for moving your vehicles. Therefore, ask any company you want to work with about its insurance details. Generally, we advise that you go for companies with thorough insurance plans.
Transportation equipment: Another important thing to check out is whether the company has all the proper equipment that will be needed to ship your car to your college safely.
Transparency: The final thing to watch out for is the company’s transparency. They should be willing to reveal their process, staff, carriers, and other information you ask for without feeling defensive. Therefore, pay attention to whether they answer your questions and how they answer them.
This depends on several factors, including the company’s nature, seasonal changes, road closures, and shipping distances. Some of the factors that affect the time of shipping are controllable, while others are not. However, on average, shipping will take at least 3-5 days.
Save on miles on your odometer and gas in your tank when you opt for one of Ghost Pepper Logistics’ affordable car shipping options. We’ll work with you to arrange the best option for your timeline and student budget.
