Burlington is a city in Alamance County, in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It is currently home to over 50,000 residents, and is a part of the Greensboro, North Carolina Metropolitan Statistical Area, which spans three counties. Founded in 1857 as a railroad town, it was originally known as “Company Shops” until it was renamed Burlington in 1886. The name Company Shops comes from the fact that Burlington was once a major locomotive repair town, and much of the city’s early economy was based around the railroad. Today, Burlington is a more popular area for shopping and dining, and is a part of the much larger Greensboro-Winston Salem-High Point Combined Statistical Area, putting it firmly within a fairly popular auto shipping location in North Carolina.

Auto Shipping to Burlington Tips and Tricks
As mentioned, Burlington is a part of the Greensboro-Winston Salem-High Point CSA, which is important because metro areas and CSA’s are big auto transportation locations. Areas such as Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and others are all easily accessible to car transporters, which usually results in lower prices and faster transit times. Burlington is no different, and it also sits right along a fairly popular interstate highway in the region, I-85. This allows car shippers to easily get into and out of the area. While many of them can offer door to door services, if you are pressed for time or are looking to ship on a budget, make sure to talk to your representative about possibly moving your pickup or delivery location to somewhere more easily accessible.
