Timing Your Auto Shipping Right

Timing is everything and that goes for auto shipping as well. To get the smoothest auto transport possible time your auto transport right. What's right? Well that depends on your situation and needs.
If you need your car to arrive at its destination at a very specific date, book your transport early. How early you ask? 4-6 weeks in advance would be optimal. Remember as indicated in a past post you can always book your auto shipping on less notice and get express auto transport or a guaranteed delivery time, but it will cost you more.
If you will not be in a rush to get your automobile than 2-3 weeks would be sufficient time to book your transport. Also consider the time of your car shipping. If its a busy time like the end of summer/beginning of fall or after the holidays give your self a bit more time as auto shippers will be a bit busier.
