Car Shipping to Greater New Orleans, Louisiana
The New Orleans, Louisiana Metropolitan Statistical Area, commonly referred to as Greater New Orleans, is a metropolitan area in the U.S. state of Louisiana anchored by the state’s largest city, New Orleans. It is home to a population of over 1.25 million residents and spans nine parishes, which are equivalent to county government in most every other state (Louisiana is the only state in the U.S. with parishes instead of counties). A major transportation, logistics and shipping hub, not to mention a major center of offshore drilling, gambling, healthcare, education, sports and entertainment, and more, the New Orleans area is naturally the most popular vehicle shipping location in the state, which tends to result in lower prices for car shipping to Greater New Orleans.
Auto transporters like to run routes into and out of major cities and metropolitan areas, as it’s where the majority of their customers tend to be. Car shippers can easily make a good amount of money by picking up and delivering multiple vehicles in day, which is something they have a hard time doing if they’re staying away from big cities. Big cities and metropolitan regions have more potential customers in a given area; they can easily find multiple pieces of freight to pick up in a day, and this helps keep their overhead costs lower and also increases how much they make in a given amount of time. It also results in faster transportation times and lower prices for customers more often than not.
New Orleans is easily accessible via several interstate highways as well, notably I-10, the main east-west interstate in the southern U.S. I-10 spans from Los Angeles in the west to Jacksonville in the east, and passes through some of the largest cities south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Because of this, carriers can easily go from one major metropolitan area to another within a day or two, which means they have access to even more carriers when you look at a week-long period, which is what carriers often do. This results in lower prices, faster transit times, and ultimately a better experience for you in terms of car shipping to Greater New Orleans, Louisiana.
