To drive or not to drive, that is the question. Deciding whether it is better (and more importantly, cheaper and safer) to drive a car to a college campus vs shipping, requires lots of research and a great deal of information to make the right decision.  Whether you are a parent, a teacher, a faculty member, or a student, no matter if you are a first-timer or vacationing, on spring break or holidays, we will make it easier for you by weighing the pros and cons:

DRIVING YOUR CAR TO COLLEGE 

While it might seem exciting and adventurous to drive a car to college, it involves some not-so-appealing aspects like spending hundreds of miles alone on the road, potential accidents, traffic jams, wear and tear on the vehicle, road expenses like food and snacks, hotels stay unforeseen incidentals, bad weather conditions, and safety issues, not to mention the mental and physical stress and the risk of falling asleep behind the wheel. 

M&M VEHICLE TRANSPORT COLLEGE CAR SHIPPING SERVICE

If the decision of taking your car to college has already been made, congratulations: there are lots of benefits coming from it: a car means independence, autonomy, and freedom, especially if you are planning to work and study simultaneously and M&M VEHICLE TRANSPORT will transport your vehicle safely and hassle-free. Here is a brief rundown of the steps to follow:

Choose one of our multiple transport options: 

• open transport is the most common and cheaper option for a regular car.  For vehicles with special requirements (low ground clearance, classics or luxury cars, and custom or delicate paint jobs) we suggest our enclosed transport. 
• Door-to-door service, your car is picked up at home and delivered right to the college campus or your parking lot; terminal to terminal, your car is picked up and delivered to the nearest storage location
• Expedited (premium) service, for an extra-fast service, when a quicker pickup and/or a faster delivery is required.

Schedule and book your college car shipping well ahead of time, especially during peak times when things might get chaotic. Our agents will advise you on the delivery timeframes, so you don’t have unpleasant surprises.

Keep in mind that if you live in a rural area, far from our regular routes, shipping time will take a little longer than in major cities. 

The cost of shipping your college car depends on several factors like distance, weight, and size of the vehicle, type of transport, time of the year, and place of origin and destination.

M&M VEHICLE TRANSPORT RECOMMENDATIONS

• Book in advance, don’t wait until the last minute.
• Please remember nothing but items related to the vehicle itself are covered by insurance during shipping; personal belongings are not allowed and additional weight increases the cost.
• We suggest you go through our website instructions on the proper preparation of your vehicle prior to shipment; checklist, gas provision, inside and outside dispositions, mechanical issues, toll tags and chips, external ornaments, and inspection.
