Auto Transport Tips to Cape Coral
Cape Coral is a popular snowbird destination in the state of Florida, which helps when it comes to keeping prices to the city lower for auto transportation services. Cape Coral is a winter getaway for many people who live in the northern U.S. during the summer – avoiding the harshest of the respective seasons makes for some good living, apparently, but what’s great is that their shipping needs come during the slow season for car shippers, which helps keep load counts higher and more trucks on the road – as well as prices lower.
Cape Coral also sits just north of Fort Myers, a popular auto shipping destination in western Florida. This makes Cape Coral easier for shippers to get to and from, especially considering the fact that it sits near I-75 as well as state highway 41, which services Fort Myers and runs north-south west of I-75. This makes it a bit easier for carriers to get around the metro area, which should also help your prices and the length of your pickup window.
Of course, things are always subjective in the auto transport industry, and things change quickly so its best to talk to a live representative to get all the latest information regarding auto transport conditions in and out of Cape Coral.
