The Toyota Corolla has been in production since 1966, and thirty years later became the best-selling nameplate in the world, a title that the Corolla has kept until this day. Over 39 million Corollas have been sold since its introduction, and every auto transport company has shipped a Corolla or eighty, so they know their way around the vehicle. In this helpful auto transport article we’ll focus on the current (as of 2012) production models, take a quick look at their key features if you’re looking to buy one, as well as what you can expect when you get your auto transport quote if you need to ship it.
The 2012 Toyota Corolla is available in three separate models, the L, the LE and the S. The L features a tilting/telescopic steering wheel, passenger-side dual glove compartments, and six airbags standard. The LE comes with that plus a 60-40 split fold-down rear seat, power windows and door locks and cruise control, while the S features all those plus front and rear under-body spoilers, a rear spoiler, 16-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, and integrated fog lamps.
The Toyota Corolla is an easy enough car to move when it comes to auto transport. Most auto transport companies have shipped hundreds, if not thousands, of Corollas, so they know everything there is to know about shipping one. Since the Corolla is a standard sedan, no vehicle shipping company would require any type of oversize or overweight auto transport fee in order to move it, so the distance from point A to point B – and their locations – will be the primary factors that will determine how much your auto transport will cost. Typically, the cheapest quote isn’t always the best if you’re shipping to or from cities that aren’t huge metropolitan areas, as most car transport companies charge more for shipping to or from places that are out of their way. Auto transport companies like to stick near metropolitan areas and highly-traveled interstate highways, as that’s where most of their income comes from, so auto transport to or from rural or otherwise out-of-the-way locations is more expensive. If you’re shipping on a budget you should speak to a live representative about possible ways to save some money on your shipment.
