When shipping a from California, the closer your pick-up and delivery locations are to I-5, the faster and cheaper your transport will be as the I-5 freeway is your go-to route, every time. As the main trucking artery in the state, it handles the majority of auto transport for us.
The most convenient locations along I-5 are Sacramento in the north and Los Angeles in the south, including any city in between. San Diego, although a viable option, can sometimes result in slightly higher costs and longer transport times due to its southernmost position on I-5.
Another favorable shipping route in California is CA-99, which runs parallel to I-5 but slightly east. Key cities along CA-99 include Chico in the north, Yuba City, Modesto, Fresno, and Bakersfield in the south. These locations are also considered friendly for car shipping.
San Jose and the cities along US-101, down to Los Angeles, are also convenient shipping locations in California. However, there are challenging areas for car shipping within the state. San Francisco, for example, is not the most difficult even though it's very populated. This is largely in part due to the city's toll bridges, super expensive gas prices, and many restricted streets make it an very costly and a time-consuming destination. Consequently, it's safe to say shipping to or from San Francisco typically comes at a premium beaause of all the hassle carriers have to deal with to maneuver around.
The most difficult locations for car shipping are those along CA-1, the coastline, and US-101 north of San Francisco, as well as areas within California's vast forested and mountainous regions. Remote locations, particularly north of Chico and away from I-5, also pose significant challenges.
In contrast, other cities such as Oakland, San Leandro, and Fremont are far less problematic for car carriers due to the absence of toll bridges and fewer road restrictions.
Inaccessible areas, such as those deep in forests, high in the mountains, or on restricted streets in San Francisco, may require meeting the driver at a nearby major highway or interstate.
Another challenging aspect of car shipping in California is the high cost of gas, which is consistently among the highest in the nation. Carriers must pass these increased costs to consumers, making auto transports in and out of California more expensive.
The state is well-connected by a network of highways that facilitate easy travel within and beyond its borders with car shipping available throughout the state. Major interstates such as I-95, which runs along the eastern seaboard, and I-26, connecting the Lowcountry to the Upstate, are vital arteries for commerce and travel. I-20 links the state to Georgia and the central U.S., while I-77 provides a direct route to North Carolina. These highways make commuting and long-distance travel for residents and auto shippers alike.
Many find great reasons to head to the south. In general, new residents are drawn to South Carolina for various reasons, including its relatively low cost of living, beautiful natural landscapes, and history. The state offers a slower pace of life and a strong sense of community, particularly appealing to retirees and families. South Carolina's coastal cities like Charleston and Myrtle Beach are popular for their weather, views, and visiting tourists. Additionally, the state has seen growth in job opportunities, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and technology. For those reasons, we help new residents move a vehicle over.
On the other hand, SC may not be for everyone, as some residents choose to move out of South Carolina due to factors such as limited job opportunities in certain fields, especially for highly specialized professions, and lower average wages compared to national figures. Educational opportunities and healthcare quality can also be motivating factors for relocation, as some may seek better resources and facilities elsewhere.
But don't underestimate South Carolina, as it has a diverse economy with a growing job market. The unemployment rate as of the latest data is around 3.3%, below the national average. Major employers in the state include BMW, Boeing, and various healthcare systems. The housing market is relatively affordable, with the median home price around $220,000, it's a good candidate for a place to live and drive. Cities like Columbia, Charleston, and Greenville offer a range of housing options, from urban apartments to suburban homes, catering to diverse needs and preferences.
