Snowbirds are looking to plan their relocation for the summer months to a cooler climate. Nationwide has been specializing in this type of vehicle shipping service for years. Nationwide understands during this type of move that people are not simply relocating for a week or two but for months. During this seasonal relocation, people often have specific shipping dates that need to be matched in order to make the move as stress free as possible. Nationwide’s car transporters understand the importance of timing and professionalism in order to make this move worry free.

Nationwide also is seeing a rise in families with school age children seeking a month or two of summer relaxation in the sun. When traveling with children, vehicle shipping makes the trip much more stress free. Children do not enjoy sitting still for long periods of time, so flying makes more sense for many families to cut the travel time drastically. While families make their flight plans, let Nationwide Auto Transport take care of the vehicle shipping. Choosing a car transporter to move the family vehicle allows parents to enjoy their time with the each other and their children without the hassle of having to worry.

Whatever your vehicle shipping needs are, Nationwide Auto Transport is here to assist you. Call one of our Car Transporter Specialists at 800-689-6498 or request a free car shipping quote online to start the relocation process and let us handle all of your needs.

New and used auto sales are big business in the United States. Approximately 250 million new and used cars are sold in the U.S. alone every year. That’s a lot of cars, trucks and SUV’s. There are around 60,000 new and used dealerships in the U.S. that pump out those sales every year. Many of these dealerships buy a large portion of their inventory at auctions across the country (see; auto auction car transport ). Once purchased, whether at Manheim, Odessa, IAA, or any other of the multiple auto auctions across the country, the dealer must then transport the vehicle back to his dealership to place it on his or her lot for sale. If you are a dealership that needs to transport vehicles, feel free to ask us for free car shipping quotes.

Dealers selling cars

EBay and Auto Trader have been growing ever since their inception. Buying a vehicle is no longer just going down to your local dealership and picking one out. People today can shop for a new or used car anywhere in the country via the internet. The only problem is getting that vehicle across the country after the purchase. Nationwide Auto Transport will be happy to provide anyone with a vehicle transport quote. We will even give a quote before the purchase has been finalized, so the customer can know the final cost of the total transaction. Our customer service is second to none. Feel free to give us a call with any questions, 800-689-6498.

Many auto transport companies want clients to sign a contract up front before the client’s vehicle has even been shipped. Once agreeing to the contract many customers must then give the company a nonrefundable deposit. At Nationwide, this is not the case.

Nationwide Auto Transport does not require the customers to sign contracts, and if this reliable auto transport company does not move the vehicle, there is no cost.  The new and updated online car shipping quote form is quick and easy. Nationwide values their customers’ time and money.

Nationwide Auto Transport also has car transporter specialists standing by to answer any questions and guide clients through the vehicle transport process. Get the process started today by requesting an online car shipping quote or calling a car transporter specialist at 1-800-689-6498.

In my last post, I talked about how the US was raising its fuel economy standards (check out the post, it’s pretty interesting).

Well, it just so happens that Japan is raising its fuel economy standards, too.

The new regulations will introduce a new CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) system, the kind of system that’s been used in the US for many decades. With CAFE, an auto manufacturer can offer both gas guzzlers and gas sippers just so long as the average fuel economy of its entire fleet for a model year meets the required average. Hence, “corporate average.”

Until now, however, Japan has had a different system. Cars were split up into 16 different weight classes, and manufacturers had to meet the requirement for each class. This was tough, since it’s much easier to meet the requirement once over a large pool of vehicles than meet it 16 different times.

In any case, manufacturers will have to achieve a figure of 20.3 km/L (47.4 mpg) by 2020—over 24 percent higher than the actual 2009 figure of 16.3 km/L (38.3 mpg).

If you have a Japanese vehicle that you would like shipped anywhere in the 48 contiguous states, Nationwide is your answer! Please contact one of our Japanese Car Shipping Experts today.

By the way, the video is of this really cool roller coaster in Japan. Frankly, it has nothing to do with this post, but I thought you would like it!

On July 29, President Obama announced that automakers will be required to raise the average fuel economy of their passenger car fleets from a current 30.2 mpg to 54.5 mpg! Wow, right?

First, keep in mind that the figure refers to Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE). So a company can have gas-guzzlers just so long as it has fuel-sipping plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles to even things out.

Also, these changes won’t happen overnight. There will be a 5% rise per for passenger cars through the 2017–2025 model years.

To make this all happen, the federal government, California and 13 automobile manufacturers got together and had a nice talk. By way of background, in 2009, federal and state agencies came together on a single national standard for 2012–2016. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is pretty influential in these matters, since the California automobile market is so big.

What’s in it for the car companies? They get a single national standard that’s a done deal, so they can more easily plan for the future.

In any case, as you can see from the infographic that comes from the White House Blog, these standards are going to save the country a lot of money.

Keep in mind, however, that Nationwide will ship virtually any car–no questions about fuel economy asked! For more information, please talk to one of our Auto Transport Experts today!

And, if you didn’t like the classic nature of the vehicle with its slick wheels and custom-faded paint job–even with its high-rise double pump carburetors–no problem! Your junky pony car could instantly transform into a slick new 2006 Camaro! All for $4,000! And don’t overlook the disco ball and awesome bee-shaped air-freshener that comes included in the deal!

Your car could even play helpful music clips to add to the moment! Such as Drive, I Feel Good, and Baby Come Back! Or it could simple communicate with you through the radio to tell you: a message from Starfleet… throughout the inanimate vastness of space… rain down like visitors from the heavens! Makes perfect sense, don’t you think?

This car is obviously the best there is, right? Check on the rep, yep, second to none! So get in the groove! Nationwide will be happy to ship your Transformer to any of the 48 contiguous states! Nationwide will be there for you and will provide as much protection as any alien guardian!
