    There are many reasons why you may want to move vehicles. It could be because you’ve spent a lot of money on a long-distance relocation or used most of your savings to purchase a new car. Whatever the reason, this process may be challenging. 

    Fortunately, there are cheap ways that you can move vehicles interstate. Cheap car moving isn’t only about hiring an affordable auto transport company. There are other things that you need to consider.

    This article explains some cheap ways that you can move your vehicle interstate. 

    Contact Several Transport Companies

    If you want to get the best deal, it’s best to contact several moving companies. These may be carriers or auto-transport brokers. It’s unlikely that all of them will charge the same rates. You should aim to get at least three quotes and settle for an affordable one. The good news is that most moving companies have websites and can give you free instant quotes. 

    Getting quotes from different companies can also help you know the average market shipping price. With that information, you can easily determine expensive and cheaper rates. 

    Have Flexible Delivery Times

    If you contact a moving company and ask them to deliver your car by a specific date, you’ll likely pay the driver a higher price to meet your deadline. If you want to pay less, it’s advisable to be flexible. You may even save hundreds of dollars if you tell the moving company to fit your transport into their schedule. 

    Also, most carriers may not meet specific delivery dates no matter the amount you pay them. 

    Select An Open Transport Carrier

    Most moving companies use open trucks to move vehicles. So, opting for them may be cheaper because they’re many. On the other hand, you may have to pay expensively for enclosed transport carriers because they’re fewer. 

    Some statistics estimate that the cost of hiring an enclosed truck is 50% more than hiring an open carrier. Because of that, enclosed transport carriers are best for transporting classic cars and expensive luxury vehicles.

    Use Terminal-To-Terminal Carriers

    Some moving companies have terminal yards in different towns where cars are delivered and picked from. Most of these yards are near bigger cities or off main interstates. Using these carriers may be cheaper because they don’t have to ship the vehicle directly to your doorstep. Instead, they’ll ship them to their yards and charge you lesser rates.

    The only disadvantage of using terminal-to-terminal carriers is that they’re few. Because of that, it may take longer to find one. Also, their terminal yards may be far from where you reside, making you travel several miles to pick your car. Additionally, some yards may charge daily storage fees if your vehicle stays in the terminal for a longer period. 

    Avoid Busy Months

    It’s best to avoid shipping your car between June and August because many people move during these months. Instead, it would be advisable to move your vehicle between December and February because of the lesser traffic. During these slow months, car shipping companies charge lower rates than those they charge in busy months.

    Conclusion

    Moving your car can be difficult if you have a tight budget. Fortunately, all hope isn’t lost because there are cheap ways of shipping vehicles interstate.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
