Top 5 hints for transporting/moving to the New York City

The cost of living in New York City is insane which is why so many New Yorkers have roommates. Itโ€™s not just housing thatโ€™s expensive. Almost all your bills will be higher than anywhere else in the country.

New York City is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Within these boroughs, there are hundreds of neighborhoods, each with its own quirks, pace of life, and flairs. If youโ€™ve never lived in New York before, youโ€™re going to need to do some research to find the right spot.

Getting around in the city is easy as there are 27 subway lines that service 472 stations. If youโ€™re not careful, you could find yourself getting lost in the first few weeks. To reduce the risk of this happening, enter your address into Google Maps or a similar program and find the closest trains. Youโ€™ll then be able to start mapping routes convenient to the locations you most frequent.

At times, the weather in the city can be a little unpredictable. Youโ€™ll experience days when you can enjoy a calm and clear morning. But you might then find yourself getting cold because the weather has turned windy and frigid. The spring and fall seasons are fleeting. However, the winter can feel like itโ€™s endless and can also be brutal at times.

If youโ€™re taking your car with you when you move, be prepared for some extremely aggressive drivers around the city. New York drivers are also known to flaunt stop signs, speed limits, and basic courtesy. Never assume itโ€™s your right of way and be prepared for lots of honking. New Yorkers do love to use their horns.

Prepare Your Vehicle for Auto Transportation from New York City, NY

It's easy to prepare your car for car shipping; there are only a handful of things you can do in the interim before the carrier arrives to collect your vehicle. Hereโ€™s what we recommend:

Secure a spare key. All carriers require a spare key and unimpeded access to any car they are shipping. Find a spare key for your vehicle; it can be a valet key or a key fob that works with the car. Make sure they are official keys and not DIY programmed ones, as they can cause a problem during transportation.

Remove any toll transponders. A lot of our customers use toll transponders for easy travel. We recommend you remove or disable your toll transponder to avoid paying for tolls that you neednโ€™t pay for.

Make sure your car is accessible. Park your car in a location that can be accessed by an 18-wheeler. This makes the day of the pickup a lot easier for both you and the driver of the carrier.

Wash the car and take photos. Document the current state of the car before it is shipped. Wash it first and take detailed photos of every panel, the windshield, the bumpers, the side mirrors, and the trunk.

Secure all personal items in the trunk. If you want to transport personal items inside your car, it is mandatory for them to be inside a secure container in the trunk. Remove all personal items from the passenger compartment of the car.

Leave no more than ยผ of a tank of fuel in the car. This rule goes for both full gasoline/diesel cars and hybrids. For EVs, the recommended safe SoC is between 30% and 50%, but no more or less.

Be sure the car is operational. When booking, you have to specify the condition of the car. Make sure your car runs and stops and that all signals work, including headlights, stop lights, etc.

How to Save on Car Shipping in New York City, NY

Saving on car shipping can be made easy with the right choices and a bit of preparation. We at SGT support all customers, especially those looking to book on a budget. Hereโ€™s what we recommend you do:

  • Book early and in advance. By booking early, you are giving us more time to prepare for the shipment and to find you a good carrier who will reduce the price of the service.
  • Book away from weekends, the end of the month, or during holidays. If you have control over when exactly the shipment must happen, we recommend booking during the weekday, at the start or in the middle of the calendar month, and away from holidays. These are the times when the market is the quietest, and chances are you will be getting a better price if you are patient.
  • Use SGTโ€™s deals and offers. We frequently publish generous offers and deals that can save you up to 40% of the price of your shipment. Keep an eye out for our deals and check back with us regularly.
  • Book from November to March. November and March are at the cusp of the busiest periods of the year, which is why carriers and shipping companies are eager to start with more shipments than last year. This is the period during which most carriers lower their rates in preparation for the summer rush.

Receiving Your Vehicle in New York City, NY

When receiving your vehicle, we recommend doing a couple of things that will make your experience a bit better:

  • Be present for the delivery. Sometimes it's not possible to be present for the delivery, and thatโ€™s ok. You can arrange for someone else to sign off on the delivery; however, if it's possible, we recommend that you personally receive the car. This gives you a chance to not only enjoy the moment, but also to inspect the vehicle before signignt he Bill of Lading.
  • Take note of any damage and specify it in the Bill of Lading. This is a very important step and is the reason we recommend that you be present for the delivery. If there is any damage, even minor scratches, that was not present before the shipment, document it thoroughly with photos and note it in the Bill of Lading. This will make it easier to get them reimbursed by the carrierโ€™s insurance.
  • Receive your documents and spare key. Your car will arrive along with some important documents and the spare key you gave to the driver. Get them back from the driver.
  • Pay the rest of the shipment. If youโ€™ve opted for the credit/debit approach, you have a 50% service fee pending. Settle the bill with the carrier by hand, either via cash, a cashierโ€™s check or a money order.
