Waxhaw is a town located in Union County, in the U.S. state of North Carolina, and is currently home to a population of over 12,700 residents. Founded in the early 1840’s, Waxhaw developed as a small agricultural community away from the hustle and bustle of busy Charlotte.

Auto Shipping to Waxhaw Tips and Tricks
Carriers like to ship vehicles and run routes to and from major cities and their surrounding metropolitan areas. Waxhaw is actually pretty far removed from Charlotte, all things considered, which can be problematic when it comes to finding auto shipping to Waxhaw. It may end up costing a bit more for a carrier to run a route into or out of Waxhaw due to how far removed it is from Charlotte, so make sure to talk to an auto transport agent about ways to save money on car transportation services to or from Waxhaw, if you’re shipping on a budget.
The biggest issue, really, is ease of access. Carriers want to run routes to and from major cities and metropolitan areas while sticking to major interstate highways. This isn’t all that big of a problem if they’re trying to get into or out of Charlotte, or even many of the cities that surround it; the problem with auto shipping to Waxhaw lies in the fact that it doesn’t sit along any major interstate highways or state highways. Carriers can use state highways to get to harder-to-reach areas, but Waxhaw doesn’t even have that luxury, which means carriers will have to use local access roads to get to or from the area. You can mitigate this by meeting your carrier somewhere more easily accessible, though you’ll need to discuss where exactly with your driver.
