Car Transport To or From Rhode Island

Are you looking for a business to transport your vehicle from or to Rhode Island? Did you know it takes 2,600 miles driving to move an automobile from East Providence, Rhode Island, to Phoenix, Arizona? It would take 40 hours to drive that distance.

There are a few things that can go wrong if you try to drive your vehicle yourself to transport it from one place to another. If you're not familiar with the route, you may get lost, which will obviously add considerable time onto your journey. Even if you do know the route well, there's always the potential for traffic delays which could again result in a longer journey time than expected.

And then of course there's the possibility that something could go wrong with the vehicle itself; a flat tire or engine trouble for example. If this happens and you're not familiar with how to fix it (or don't have the necessary tools/parts), then you'll be stranded until help arrives. So as you can see, there are quite a few potential pitfalls when driving your own vehicle - it's often better (and cheaper) to just use professional transport services!

Contact our automobile shipping experts for Rhode Island auto transport services if you want to try something different. We'll look after your car while you find a safe way to go to Arizona (or wherever you're going).

Rhode Island, the last of the original 13 colonies to become a state, has a fascinating history. After thousands of years of occupation by Native Americans, English settlers and fugitive Roger Williams formed the state in 1636 as a heaven for political and religious rebels.

The Ocean State today crams a lot onto its limited landmass. It is a popular year-round tourist destination with diverse art and cuisine, beautiful towns, beaches, parks with walking routes, campers, ski hills, and kilometers of scenic countryside. You may now be looking for a vehicle to help you tour the area, but if you buy a car from a seller or at an auction in another state, you may need to ship it.
