Tips for Shipping an Automobile to Huntington Beach

Huntington beach is one of the more popular areas for people to visit, and more and more people are looking at the area to actually move to. However, its location on the California coast can make it more difficult and expensive to ship to if you’re shipping from a city east of it, so a good way to save a bit of cash is to ship your vehicle to a more eastern city and then simply drive your vehicle to wherever in Huntington Beach you need to get to.

As I-405, a major auxiliary interstate of Interstate 5, runs just east of the city, it can be easier for carriers to get to certain areas of East Huntington Beach than into the city proper. If shipping from the northern states such as Washington or Oregon, you can usually get cheaper rates if you ship to an area that is just off of I-405 to begin with; some carriers will charge you less due to the fact that your delivery location is easily accessible from a major freeway.

Prices will likely be higher during the summer months as it’s the busy season in the auto transport industry. You should budget accordingly, and make sure to get multiple car shipping quotes to or from Huntington Beach; despite it being a popular location, it can still be expensive to ship to or from depending on where you’re shipping from or to. Multiple car transport quotes can help you budget more effectively and make it easier on you come transport time.
