Car Transport to Huntington, West Virginia
Huntington is a city in as well as the county seat of Cabell County, in the U.S. state of West Virginia. Home to a population of over 48,800 total residents, Huntington is the second-largest city in West Virginia by population, but anchors the largest metropolitan area in the state. The Huntington Metropolitan Statistical Area, somewhat surprisingly, spans three states and seven counties and is home to over 363,300 residents. While this may not seem all that large in comparison to, say, the New York City metro area, it’s big considering it’s West Virginia, a state known for its lack of people. On the whole, Huntington is not as popular of a car shipping area as other cities in nearby states, but it does see its share of car transport traffic.
If you’ve read any other posts in our “Auto Transport by City” series, you likely know that car transport carriers like to stay close to major cities and metropolitan areas because that’s where the majority of customers tend to be. It’s easier, faster and more cost-effective for carriers to stick to major cities, because there’s an increased chance that there are multiple customers in one area. This means that they can pickup and/or deliver multiple vehicles within a small area – this cuts down on transit times and fuel costs for carriers, which means they make more money faster by sticking to big cities. Huntington isn’t all that big – it’s home to less than 50,000 residents, after all – which means that it’s a smaller car shipping market. However, it’s the largest in West Virginia, considering that it anchors the largest metro area in the state.
Huntington has one distinct advantage when it comes to keeping prices and services more reasonable for customers, and that’s the fact that it sits right along I-64. The Interstate Highway System is the main way that carriers get from one part of the country to another, and while I-64 may not be as heavily traveled as I-95 or I-10, it definitely sees its share of transportation services along it, as it runs from St. Louis, Missouri all the way east to Virginia Beach, Virginia, hitting a number of big cities like Louisville, Lexington, Huntington, Richmond and Newport News, to name a few, before it terminates on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. In other words, while it’s not the most heavily-traveled interstate, it sees enough traffic to warrant running routes along, which means better prices for car transport to Huntington.
