Clayton is a city located in Montgomery County, in the U.S. state of Ohio. It is currently home to a population of over 13,200 residents. Though Clayton, as a municipality, has been around since the 19th century, it did not see any significant growth until the 20th, when more and more people began moving out of Dayton and the other major cities and into smaller suburbs such as Clayton. The city was officially formed in 1999 after the merging of the Village of Clayton and Randolph Township, and today it is officially a city that is looking to grow and expand, which has helped make car transport prices to or from the area lower and more competitive as a result.

Auto Transport Tips to and from Clayton
In terms of total population, Clayton is not the most popular car transport location in the state of Ohio, let alone in the Dayton metro area. Clayton is a part of the Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is nice because car transport companies prefer to run routes through major cities and metropolitan areas, and tend to charge less for customers moving from one big city or metro area to another. Clayton sits only a few miles northwest of Dayton anyway, so chances are you’ll see the same prices into or out of Clayton that you would into or out of Dayton, which should help keep your car transport prices as low and competitive as possible.
It really helps that Clayton sits right along Interstate 70, while Dayton does not. Car transport carriers definitely prefer to run routes through major cities and metropolitan areas along major interstate highways, because those are the main arteries through the United States. Interstate highways allow car shippers to quickly get from one part of the country to another and allow cross-country transportation in as little as ten days, which is pretty good considering how many stops for deliveries and pickups they have to make along the way. Being right along I-70 makes Clayton easier to access, which typically means better prices and faster pickup, transit and delivery windows, which is always good for you and your car transport needs.
