The New York Times Highlights Car Shipping: Here’s What It Means for You

Recently, The New York Times published an article titled “How to Ship Your Car (and Why It May Save You Time and Money)” by Ann Carrns (Aug. 29, 2025). The piece explores why more Americans are choosing to ship their cars instead of driving them — and how the right auto transport company can make the process seamless.

At Bigfella Auto Express, we see this shift every day. From families relocating for work to snowbirds heading south, customers are realizing that professional auto transport saves time, reduces stress, and often costs less than a long-distance drive.


Why the NYT Article Matters

The Times highlights several key points that align with what our clients experience:

  • Shipping is often more practical than driving. Whether you’re moving across the country or buying a car out of state, transport can be more efficient than putting miles on your vehicle.

  • Brokers streamline the process. The article notes that working with a broker connects you to a wider network of carriers, many of whom don’t have websites or public listings. At Bigfella Auto Express, this is exactly what we specialize in — pairing your route with the right carrier at the right price.

  • Costs vary by vehicle and route. Compact sedans cost less to ship than SUVs or trucks, and busy metro-to-metro routes are often cheaper than rural ones. We help customers lock in the best possible rate while ensuring insurance and compliance are never compromised.

  • Flexibility saves money. Just like the Times notes, being open with pickup and delivery windows can help lower costs. We advise clients on the best timing for both price and convenience.


How Bigfella Auto Express Sets Itself Apart

While the NYT article offers a great overview, here’s how we go further for our customers:

  • Price Lock Guarantee – No hidden fees or surprise charges.

  • $250K Insurance – Every shipment is fully covered.

  • Real-Time GPS Tracking – See where your car is at all times.

  • 24/7 Human Support – Always talk to a real person, not a bot.

We’ve built a reputation on transparency and reliability — exactly the qualities that the Times urges consumers to look for.


The Bottom Line

As the New York Times makes clear, car shipping is no longer a niche service — it’s a mainstream solution for families, students, professionals, and retirees alike.

At Bigfella Auto Express, we’re proud to be part of this movement, helping people ship smarter, safer, and with total confidence.
