When I moved to the big city, buying a car seemed like a waste of money. The subway takes me anywhere I want to go, and there are always cabs as a backup. When I do want to get out of the city for a weekend, I arrange for a car rental. Rentals are great for me. I get to choose the type of vehicle that I want, buy insurance to cover the trip, and concentrate on enjoying myself. If the car develops engine trouble, I call the agency and they pick me up in a replacement. Thanks to my club discounts, I even get price breaks on some of my rentals. If you are new to the idea of renting a car, let me help. I'll show you how to get the best terms, including the lowest price. That'll make for a more pleasant trip.
Many people view their RV as a home away from home. Traveling with an RV in tow requires a lot of careful consideration and attention to detail. But what happens when you aren't able to tow or drive your RV yourself? RV transport companies can offer a viable solution for owners in need of RV delivery.
Whether you are moving across the country or want to drive back home after taking a one-way flight, there are some things that you can do to help keep the costs of RV transport low.
1. Know Your RV
A transport company will provide you with a quote based on the information you provide to them. You must know your RV inside and out in order to maximize the accuracy of your quote.
The weight of your RV will be used to determine which type of vehicle is needed to complete the transport. Be sure that you are providing the gross vehicle weight, including the weight of any contents inside of your RV's tanks.
You will also need to know the length and width of your RV to receive an accurate quote. Have all of your RV specifications in front of you when you call for a transport quote to minimize costly errors.
2. Meet the Driver
Another simple way you can reduce the cost of your RV transport is to meet the driver in a convenient location. Most transport companies operate out of metropolitan areas and charge by the mile for pickups and deliveries.
If it's possible for you to haul your RV to the area in which the transport company is located, you can reduce the number of miles that must be driven to complete the delivery. This will reduce the overall cost of your RV transport services.
3. Be Flexible
Flexibility is often the key to unlocking serious savings when having a professional transport your RV. The higher the demand for transport services, the higher the company's rates will be.
If you don't have the need to specify an exact delivery date, being flexible with your delivery time frame allows the transport company to schedule your RV's trip during a slow period. Rates are typically lower when demand falls, so you will end up paying less for the same quality of transportation services.
Investing in quality professional RV transport isn't cheap. Do your part to keep the cost of transporting your RV as low as possible.
