If your child is heading off to college you can save the trouble of having to drive all the way there by shipping their car to campus. Doing so can help you save a considerable amount of time energy and money. Plus, you will get to spend a little more one on one time with your child before they leave for school.
Most parents don’t want their children making the long-haul driving to or from college by themselves. Too much can go wrong – even if you trust your child’s driving ability, what about other drivers? Many parents also want to spend their last few hours talking with their child before they leave them at college or catching up after not seeing them for a while on the drive home. When you ship your car to or from college instead of driving it there or back, you can easily solve both of these problems.
Consider too that by foregoing driving you can decrease your drive time by a day or more. Also, don’t forget the danger involved with driving either. Normally, driving to college means traveling on large and crowded interstate highways which pose some of the highest risks of a car accident. What is more important than your child’s safety and well-being?
With the obvious benefits of less travel time and circumventing your child driving hundreds of miles by themselves already being stated, it’s important to understand all the other benefits of shipping your car to college. Now let’s say they do drive their car to college and do get in an accident but don’t suffer any injuries. Great, as long as they’re okay that’s all that matters, right? Well, the problem is you might end up paying for the damage to your car AND the other vehicle involved in the accident. Moreover, if that’s the case, your insurance premiums will skyrocket because a newly licensed young driver (your child) caused the accident.
By shipping your child’s vehicle, you will be saving on gas, tolls and rest stop expenses – with the cost of shipping as low as it currently is, you’re practically breaking even as far as cost. If you were planning on making the trip there with them, you could now also save the cost of the hotel stay as well. On top of that, this will also allow your child to have a car at school which, as you likely already know, will make their lives considerably easier and more convenient.
It will also help them save on the cost of transportation which is important when they’re already spending all sorts of money on tuition and books. Shipping the car will also help keep the car in better condition because your child will end up avoiding the long trips to and from college which would likely result in some sort of small road debris, such as rocks, hitting the car at various points in the trip.
Consider too that when you ship your child’s car to college, they will always have additional storage space if need be. All around, it only makes sense to ship your child’s car to college. Yes, there are a couple of drawbacks such as the cost of gas and parking costs on campus but the positive greatly outweighs the negative.
