Illinois Car Shipping
Illinois is famous for a lot of things, but in the transportation business it’s know as one of the greatest car shipping states in the US. While it’s only 22nd in land mass size, and 6th in population, it’s a state that enjoys access to the Atlantic Ocean through the Chicago port.
The state is intertwined with multiple major roadways, access roads, major interstate highways and hundreds of state highways, all servicing Springfield and the industrial greater metropolitan area of Chicago.
Due to its central location on the map and its many connections to other states, shipping a car to and from Illinois might be one of the easiest experienced of all states. The USTrans.com company often uses Chicago and Springfield as main transport hubs for larger auto transport operations.
There are 13 major interstate highways crossing the state in all directions, connecting it to the rest of the country, the list is not long – I-24, I-39, I-41, I-55, I-57, I-64, I-70, I-72, I-74, I-80, I-88, I-90 and I-94.
The state is also connected with further 21 main state highways and lots of U.S. highways with different road conditions.
How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Car From and To Illinois
The cost of each transportation service really depends on the request and the type of the vehicle as well as the total distance travelled. There are state specific factors which also play a role in the final cost of your order, mainly:
- Winter road conditions;
- Port accessibility;
- Toll pass system requirements;
- Final destination;
- Requirement for inner city pick-up or delivery.
As Chicago is one of the most densely populated cities in the US, entering and maneuvering it with a large transport vehicle carrier is not always possible. Carrier companies in that area may refuse to enter depending on the time of year, since winters in Illinois tend to be quite frigid and cold.
