Auto Transport to Ann Arbor, Michigan
Ann Arbor is a city in as well as the county seat of Washtenaw County, Michigan, and is currently home to a population of over 113,900 residents, making it the sixth-largest city in the entire state. Ann Arbor anchors the larger Ann Arbor, Michigan Metropolitan Statistical Area, home to over 334,000 residents and a part of the larger Detroit-Flint-Ann Arbor Combined Statistical Area. Founded in 1824, Ann Arbor today is a major college town, as it is the home of the University of Michigan, which employs over 30,000 people and has a profound impact on Ann Arbor’s economy, though its economy is quite diverse for a city of its size. Technology, in addition to education, retail and other service-based industries, is a major component of Ann Arbor’s economy, and the city today is known for its left-wing tendencies and upbeat way of life.
Auto shipping to Ann Arbor is made easier by the fact that the city sits just west of Detroit, the largest city in the state of Michigan and a popular auto transport location in the Great Lakes region, and also the fact that it sits along Interstate 94, a major east-west route through the region that runs smack into Detroit. This allows auto shippers easy access to Ann Arbor and other major metropolitan areas on either side of it, which generally means lower prices for you when shipping to or from Ann Arbor.
However, the city is located in Michigan, which is not the most popular area for auto shippers because of the fact it sits in the Great Lakes region. It’s situated in the far northern Midwest, which makes it more difficult for auto transport companies to easily run profitable routes through the area. Part of this has to do with the lower popularity of the Great Lakes region, at least in terms of auto transport; while Detroit may be where the Big Three automakers are, from a commercial standpoint there aren’t a lot of people moving in and out of the area on a routine basis. This makes planning routes harder for carriers, which can impact their wallet in a negative way.
