College Move
More and more students, particularly recent high school grads, choose to attend college or a university in another city or state. Some move to a different region completely, while others relocate nearby to build a future. And, when they do, they look for ways to transport their vehicle with them. Chicago Car Transport helps students all over the country relocate to Chicago to attend various educational institutions throughout the city, such as the University of Chicago, Loyola University, University of Illinois, and so many more.
Parents, we know the extreme costs associated with higher education, therefore, Chicago Car Transport offers special student discounts to offset some of the expense. Generally, it is prohibited to have over 100 pounds of personal belongings in the vehicle while in transport, however, we try our best to support students by letting them pack whatever they need for an extra minimal fee, which is only 5% of the charges collected by national shipping companies like FedEx, DHL, and USPS. Student discounts are applied on the same day a reservation is made.
The process of moving your child’s vehicle to the college of their choice doesn’t have to be the thankless task you imagine it to be. One simple way to minimize the stress and burden of this move is to enlist the services of an auto transport company. Not only can a car shipping company easily handle the task, but it’s safer and even cost-effective. Parents, your child’s auto shipping needs are special to you, therefore they are special to us.
