Whitehall is a city located in Franklin County, in the U.S. state of Ohio. It is currently home to a population of over 18,000. The area that is today Whitehall has been settled since the 19th century; by the turn of the 20th, Whitehall was a community made up of farms, primarily, and mixed income homes. Incorporation came in 1947, and subsequent expansion of borders in the 1950’s. This, coupled with a newly-built shopping mall, caused rapid growth during the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, though today the population has started to decline a bit as more and more people are opting to move back to the major cities in the region, notably Columbus.

Auto Transport Tips to and from Whitehall
Whitehall, as mentioned, sits in Franklin County, which itself is a part of the Columbus Metropolitan Statistical Area. This is good news when it comes to shipping a vehicle into or out of Whitehall, as carriers are more likely to run routes through cities and towns that are close to major cities – in Whitehall’s case, it sits close to Columbus, the largest city in the state (and also the capital) as well as the anchor of the third-largest metro area in Ohio. If your pickup or delivery location sits close to a city like Columbus, prices tend to be lower as carriers don’t have to spend as much money on fuel to get to or from the area – nor do they have to spend so much time going from one customer to the next, which means better prices and faster service for you.
Ease of access is another aspect of shipping a vehicle somewhere that you should keep an eye on. Major interstate highways are a car shipping company‘s best friend when it comes to figuring out the routes that they want to travel to service their customers. Whitehall doesn’t sit along any interstate highways proper, but it sits in between two of the more important ones that run through the Columbus area: I-70 to the south and I-270 to the east. The former is a major east-west interstate that sees a lot of auto transport traffic year-round, while the latter is the main beltway that surrounds Columbus and provides access to its many suburbs. These interstates – and the others in and around Columbus and the Columbus area – help carriers keep prices lower for customers by allowing them to get to multiple areas in a short amount of time.
