Delaware is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. It is home to over 945,000 residents. It ranks 45th among the 50 states in total population, but 6th in terms of population density.
Auto transport to Delaware benefits from this high population density, as most of its population is located in Wilmington. Wilmington is the state’s largest city and by far its most popular car transport location.
It also helps that Delaware sits close to Pennsylvania and its largest city, Philadelphia. This makes it easier for carriers to access the area, which results in faster transit times, lower wait times, and lower prices.
A bit about auto transport to Delaware
As mentioned, the state’s largest city is Wilmington, which is also its most popular car transport hub. This is because Wilmington sits in the small circle of northern Delaware. It is near the border with Pennsylvania and only an hour or so away from Philadelphia. Wilmington, though, is not a big city in and of itself; as such, it doesn’t draw much demand.
Other cities, such as Dover, to the south, see even less. This has much to do with the fact that Delaware doesn’t see much in terms of people moving there. More people tend to move away from Delaware instead of to it, especially outside of Wilmington. As such, incentive is lower for carriers to actually seek out routes through the state.
That said, Wilmington again comes to mind because it sits right along I-95, the main north-south interstate in the east. I-95 runs from Miami to Maine and passes right through Wilmington. This means that carriers who may not actually be looking for loads to Delaware will still take loads to Wilmington because they’re going that way anyway.
This tends to result in faster transit times and lower prices for shipments to Wilmington because they also have access to Philadelphia and the northern cities above it. This is a huge boon for car transporters and it makes auto transport to Delaware – primarily Wilmington – easier to find.
