California also named the Golden State is located on the Pacific coast of the United States. The capital city of California is called Sacramento and its largest city is Los Angeles. It is one of the most populated states in the US with around 38 million people living there.  

If you are looking for a slower and lingering pace of life, then Pennsylvania is the right place for you. It is one of the historical states in the union that is part of the east coast border. All around its border you will see Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. There is greenery around the locales like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. 

So, when you are planning to move from California to Pennsylvania, you can take the help of auto transport services that are experienced enough to ship your vehicle from one place to another. We all know about Ship A Car Inc. which is a well-known company here in United States. They provide superior shipping services to help people relocating their vehicles, businesses who want to move their general freight, and many more.

Here are certain points to consider before opting for shipping services:

1. Cost and Time: The cost of the shipping services will always depend on the type of vehicle that you chose along with the estimated time you want the shipping to happen. They also vary depending on the season when you want to ship. Many shipping companies do provide online calculators that can tell you the approximate amount. The approximate time to reach Pennsylvania from California is around 5 to 7 days. In case of an emergency, you can opt for the quick delivery too. But they might charge you some extra penny.
2. Ask about hidden costs: When you are about to sign a contract for shipping your car, you need to make sure that you read the contract with minute details. There might be some hidden costs which you will learn about later on. If not sure, then you can ask the shipping company directly about the hidden costs if any.
3. Long distance auto transport: There are two different types of carriers available that will move your car from one place to another. As the name suggests, open carriers are open that can cause some damage to your car in bad weather conditions. Thus, when you want to travel for longer distances, you can opt for enclosed ones. As this will keep your car safe from the inside. But they are quite expensive as compared to open carriers as they can carry only one or two cars at a time. But in some cases, both the options are the best and it depends on what kind of car you want to ship.
4. Shipping options: There are two types of shipping options, one is door to door where your car will be picked up from your place and dropped at the place where it needs to be shipped. The other one includes the terminal to the terminal where you need to take your car to the terminal where it will be picked up and dropped at the terminal where you need to pick up. 

This is definitely the safest option. But you need to be extra careful while choosing the shipping company. Make sure you get someone with good reviews.
