Auto Transport to Garner Tips and Tricks
As mentioned, Garner is a part of the Raleigh, North Carolina Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is home to just under two million residents, and this makes it a lot easier for car transport companies to actually provide services to or from the area. Garner is a major suburb of Raleigh and sits just south of the city’s southern border, which means car transporters can quickly and easily run routes into and out of Garner while still being able to run their routes to and from Raleigh. Auto shippers want to stay as close to major cities and metropolitan areas as they can, in order to maximize how many customers they are shipping for. It also helps keep their overhead costs lower, which tends to result in lower prices for customers.
Garner sits right along Interstate 40, a major east-west highway that services the Raleigh metro area and provides transportation and logistics solutions for companies trying to get freight to or from Raleigh or its surrounding communities. I-40 is one of the most heavily traveled interstate highways, at least in the vehicle shipping industry, which makes auto transport to Garner a bit easier to find. Due to its proximity to Raleigh, you also likely won’t see any additional prices and fees to ship to Garner, as most car shippers will offer the same price to any bedroom city within 25-50 miles of a major metropolitan anchor.
