When moving from one city to another or buying a new car, the car owner is faced with the problem of transporting the vehicle to a new place of residence. You can do this in several ways, and safely take everything with you. Each of the options has its own advantages. The most important thing is to choose the best option for the safety of the car.
You can transport the car using road transport - car transporter, container, tow truck. Road transportation is very popular because of the possibility of delivering a car to any city in our country. Cars are transported in special containers that provide them with maximum protection. The cost of transportation depends on the cost of the car, its dimensions. With this method of transportation, a power of attorney is required, as well as an act of acceptance and transfer of goods. Although transportation by road is very popular, it should be noted several of its shortcomings:- influence of weather conditions;
- the cost and delivery time depend on the time of year;
- the possibility of accidents on the roads is very high;
- high probability of damage to the car during transportation.
To transport a car, it is necessary to prepare the following documents: registration certificate and car passport, sales contract or registration certificate, car owner's passport. It would be practical to insure the cargo. The cost of delivery depends not only on the chosen method, but also on the distance. On the Internet you can find many sites with information about the cost and conditions of transportation to all corners of the planet.

How can you reduce the cost of transportation
The very transportation of the car to another city requires financial costs. However, if you know some of the nuances, you can always save. How to do it? If time allows, you can use the services of special services. Here it will be enough to place your application with a detailed description of the delivery conditions, after which offers will begin to come from representatives of various transport companies. This allows you to choose the most attractive and cost-effective options. Moreover, the auction system operates on these services in reverse, which means that prices will not increase, but decrease. As a result, you can reduce the initial cost from 10 to 70%. Moreover, the more offers, the more profitable it is possible to carry out transportation.
You should know certain rules for placing a request for the transportation of cars by car carriers. They conclude in the accuracy of filling out the questionnaire of the customer of long-distance transportation. Should indicate:
- what brand and year of manufacture of the car;
- the exact route of transportation;
- technical condition of the car;
- whether transportation with other cars is allowed when transiting through the destination;
- what package of documents the owner or his representative has.
All this will help carriers find your application and immediately make their offer.
It happens that you don’t have to go to another city by car yourself, but vice versa - you need to transport the car to another city. For example, my friend bought a Ford for himself - there was no necessary equipment in the car dealership in Tyumen, but such a car was just driving on an auto transporter to Surgut. Through Tyumen! Naturally, he suggested - let's unload it in Tyumen - and I will buy it, because this is the same car dealership. They said it's impossible. I had to drive her out of Surgut.
Prices in the article are indicative, at the end of 2014, mostly taken from the internet. In your particular case, they will certainly differ - most likely upwards, I tried to take the minimum.
Overtake yourself
Actually, this is the easiest option - of course, if the car is on the move, and all documents are drawn up. But this is not always the case. If you collect vintage cars, you will surely come across a situation where the next copy of your collection is not in the best technical condition.
For comparison, take the route Tyumen-Yekaterinburg. The distance is about 330 km, the travel time is about 4-5 hours. Let's take an average gasoline consumption of 10 liters per 100 km, a total of 33 liters. The cost of gasoline is the same - 33 rubles / l (AI-92, Tyumen, November 2014). It turns out about 1 thousand rubles for gasoline. Therefore, if you like to drive, the car is in good condition, and you have free time, then this option is the best.
At long distances, the picture is different - you still need to eat and sleep. Suppose you want to drive a car from Vladivostok to Moscow. Now in the Far East there is no longer the former banditry, and the road is quite decent by Russian standards, you can not glue the car with plaster, and do not take two spare wheels, as before. 9000 km, 30 thousand rubles for gasoline. Travel time is about 10-14 days - of course, you can drive a thousand kilometers every day, but it's hard, and Baikal must be seen, and after Novosibirsk the traffic increases - it will become more difficult to drive at high speed. You can sleep right in the car, you can sometimes stay at the hotel - to have a good rest, take a shower. Suppose, for food and other expenses, 1000 rubles / day. Total 40-45 thousand rubles and an unforgettable trip!
Shipping
This option is not available to everyone, because. not everyone can afford to live on the seashore and buy cars exclusively in port cities. Therefore, we will mention it for the sake of completeness, but we will not consider it. By the way, you can still transport cars by plane, but we won’t even mention this, because. there prices start somewhere from 50 rubles / kg (which is 65 thousand rubles for my car), and where they end is hard to say (for example, Moscow-Anadyr - 291 rubles / kg).
Transportation by railway transport
This option is the most reliable (trains rarely get into accidents), but also the most leisurely. First, you will have to wait 1-3 weeks for loading (until the required number of cars is collected to fill the car), then this car will be slowly served, loaded, then the road, possibly with "transfers", then 2-3 days of unloading; it also happens that the train is stuck in a traffic jam somewhere at a crowded freight station ... in general, you need to tune in in advance for a long wait, and try to go into meditation. Maybe you'll be lucky to learn Zen. At the same time, you will learn a lot of new things - what is a grid car, what is a rocket carrier, what are containers, etc. and so on.
Car transportation Vladivostok - Moscow starts somewhere from 50 thousand rubles(grid car), the train runs for about 20 days (without loading and unloading). The container is more expensive, from 70 thousand rubles.
According to the online calculator, transportation Tyumen to Yekaterinburg will cost only 6 thousand rubles, but I didn’t call and double-check - I was afraid that they would laugh. Still, the railway is unbearably slow, it’s easier to get to such a distance yourself.
Transportation by car transporter
The car transporter is specially designed to transport cars; he can immediately take from 6 to 10 cars - wholesale is cheaper. Unlike a steam locomotive, an auto transporter can theoretically call in any city - but this is theoretical. In practice, the car transporter usually calls only at the final destination, and the passing cars are loaded and unloaded right on the highway. In addition, there are established routes on which car transporters travel, and they will not change them for the sake of one of your cars. You can make a route from several sections, reloading the car from one car transporter to another - naturally, they will not specifically join the schedule, and you will have to sit and wait for the next one to arrive. If the desired point lies far from their routes, then you will have to go there on your own, well, or on a tow truck. By the way, another nuance - some car transporters are equipped with winches, but this is more an exception than a rule. Therefore, if the car is not running, then it is necessary to agree in advance, otherwise loading will be impossible.
Car transportation Vladivostok - Moscow costs from 50 thousand rubles(from 14 days) - i.e. much faster than by rail, and the prices are about the same. But this is still a knurled route with established prices. Here is the transportation Tyumen - Yekaterinburg will be much more expensive in terms of cost per 1 km. I applied to 3 different companies, and they gave me the following prices: 10, 15 and 16 thousand rubles. At the same time, the section Tyumen - Yekaterinburg is located on a popular highway, and passing car carriers, as each company said, come 2-3 times a week.
Transportation by tow truck
The tow truck, like the car transporter, is designed to transport cars - but it offers an individual approach. The tow truck itself will come for the car to any place, and will take it exactly where it is needed. He is not afraid of broken cars, even without wheels. It does not have to wait a few days, and adjust to the schedule. Transportation on a tow truck is even faster than on a car transporter, and at the same time more comfortable. He can even take you as a passenger, stop where he needs to, or call in any place - have lunch, see Baikal, just take a walk. In general, the tow truck is more convenient in everything except the price.
For example, let's take the prices of the Tyumen RaceExpress tow truck, just keep in mind that they are now one of the lowest (if not the lowest) in Tyumen, although the tow truck is one of the best.
Transportation by tow truck Vladivostok - Moscow costs about 250 thousand rubles(only diesel fuel will take 85 thousand). Of course, there are double-deck tow trucks, and there are special car transporter trailers that allow you to transport two or three cars at once. But still, at such long distances, the tow truck is too expensive.
But along the route Tyumen - Yekaterinburg tow truck will cost only 10500 rub, i.e. even cheaper than a car transporter for 15-16 thousand! And if you need to transport 2 cars at once, the price will be 14,000, which is only 7 thousand rubles for each. Thus, for short and medium distances, a tow truck looks preferable.
Single covered car transporter
This option includes an individual approach to the client, like a tow truck, but additionally protects your car from road troubles: mud, rain, snow, hail, stones, sidelong glances, etc. A single car carrier can go to any place where there is a road, it does not need rails, seaports, and airfields. On the VIP-avtovoz.rf website, they boast that they can even stop at Red Square. But, of course, it will be more expensive than a conventional open platform tow truck, so it is more suitable for new and expensive cars.
Shipping Tyumen - Yekaterinburg costs 16850 rub. For route Vladivostok - Moscow I won’t even count, I’ve never seen such money. Although, no, I’m lying - I saw it, and even held it in my hands. But I still won't count :)
Conclusion
As you can see, there is no universal option - either cheaper, but longer, and more trouble, or more expensive, or you have to go yourself - and time also costs money. Choose what suits you best in your particular situation.
