In times of coronavirus, everybody`s finances have been affected and you may be considering the
possibility of driving instead of shipping your car, if you have plans to move and relocate somewhere
else, visit your loved ones or spend holidays far from home. You may even be tempted by the
romantic idea of enjoying the pleasure of driving, one of the greatest of life: feeling the power of
the engine, the wind in your face, an open road ahead full of exciting views and adventures, a whole
new experience. If this is your case and since we are talking about saving money, besides the basic
expenses such as tolls, gas, meals, accommodations and extras, you may want to keep in mind
another short, mid and long term costs:
Vehicle: depreciation of your car increases on long trips with the obvious wear and tear on tires, battery, engine, etc.;
Health: stress, somnolence, tiredness and fatigue experienced during a road trip, plus anxiety derived from the near future`s expectations, whatever they might be, could lead to the driver`s general state of exhaustion and subsequent lowering of the body`s defenses for several days after the arrival. The same effect is to be expected in children, if you travel with your family.
Time: When traveling by car, be ready to make several stops, you need to stretch legs and rest, to get a meal or use the restrooms, adding hours to an already long and strenuous journey. And let`s be positive and not talk about unexpected stops caused by flat tires, overheated engine, getting lost or dizziness, which will represent more hours of delays.
Safety: Even though the possibilities of an accident are low for a responsible and cautious
driver, there is always the human factor (distracted drivers, micro-sleeps, etc.), the road conditions,
the weather and the traffic, elements most of them out of your control.
On the other hand, with just a simple call to M&M VEHICLE TRANSPORT, you can have your car
shipped, effortlessly, and our representatives and experienced truck drivers will take care of
everything while you enjoy your precious time. It is a little more expensive but it is totally worth it.
“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time”
Jim Rohn
