Should I Bring My Car Interstate with Me?
Whether or not you bring your car with you when you move interstate depends on a few factors:
- The type of car you own
- Where you’re moving to
- How much travelling you’ll do once there
Your car might suit your current living situation, but it might not be practical when you move; for instance, an electric car won’t do well if you’re moving to the outback and a massive 4-wheel drive might be hard to navigate through the inner city. If you are moving to the city, it could be easier for you to walk or catch public transport, rather than drive.
If your car is in great condition, however, and will work fine in your new home, you’ll probably want to keep it. That’s where motor vehicle transportation comes in handy.
Vehicle Transport vs. Driving Myself
Most people choose to relocate by driving their vehicles themselves, as they believe it will be cheaper. While this may be the case if you’re only travelling a few hours, on longer trips the cost of petrol will put you well out of pocket. You also should be mindful of safe driving practices, like pacing yourself so that you don’t become tired and doze off at the wheel.
Vehicle transport from Dawson Moving & Storage is a great option if you want to avoid the hassle of driving yourself. You have the choice of transport via rail, truck or driver, all of which can be less expensive than doing it yourself.
