Top 5 Myths About Car Shipping—Debunked by the Pros

Corja & Blog

There’s a lot of misinformation floating around when it comes to car shipping. From exaggerated costs to concerns about safety, these myths often prevent people from choosing a convenient, professional service like Corja Auto Hauling. With over a decade of experience transporting vehicles nationwide, we’re here to set the record straight.


Myth 1: Car Shipping Is Only for Luxury or Classic Cars

Truth: While many luxury vehicle owners do use auto transport services, so do college students, snowbirds, military families, and online car buyers. Whether you drive a compact sedan or a high-end sports car, car shipping is a smart solution for anyone who needs to move a vehicle across the country.


Myth 2: It’s Cheaper to Drive the Car Yourself

Truth: When you factor in gas, food, hotel stays, and wear and tear, a long-distance drive can get expensive—and exhausting. Car shipping often ends up being more affordable and much less stressful.


Myth 3: Your Car Can Get Damaged Easily During Transport

Truth: Reputable carriers like Corja Auto Hauling are fully insured and perform thorough inspections before and after shipping. Plus, our experienced drivers secure each vehicle properly for safe travel. Incidents are extremely rare.


Myth 4: All Car Shipping Companies Are the Same

Truth: There’s a big difference between professional, licensed haulers and unregulated brokers. At Corja, we handle each shipment with care, communicate clearly, and have the insurance and experience to back it up.


Myth 5: You Can’t Ship a Car If It’s Not Running

Truth: You can ship non-operational vehicles. It just requires special equipment and must be disclosed during booking so we can prepare the right carrier and loading tools.

Don’t let myths stop you from choosing the most convenient way to move your vehicle. With Corja Auto Hauling, you get expert service, nationwide coverage (excluding AK & HI), and peace of mind.
