Everything You Need to Know About the State of New Mexico (NM)
The state that is now New Mexico was first colonized by Spain and was included in the Gadsden Purchase in 1853. However, New Mexico did not officially become a state of the United States until 1912. The top-secret Manhattan Project, in which leading American scientists created the first atomic bomb, took place in New Mexico during World War II.
The bomb was tested at the Trinity Bomb site close to Alamogordo in 1945. When a local farmer found unidentifiable debris on his property in 1947, some people in Roswell, New Mexico, began to wonder if there might be extraterrestrial life there. They thought it might be the wreckage of an alien spaceship that had crashed.
The very large array telescope in Socorro and the ancient city of Santa Fe, which artist Georgia O'Keeffe once called home, are two popular attractions for visitors to New Mexico.
It is a Mountain state that borders Arizona, Utah, and Colorado in the Four Corners area. With Texas to the east-southeast, Oklahoma to the northeast, and the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora to the south and southwest, New Mexico also has borders with these states. The state of New Mexico was officially declared on January 6, 1912. Santa Fe serves as the state capital.
At the Trinity Site in central New Mexico, the first atomic weapon ever tested was detonated on July 16, 1945.
The largest field of gypsum dune sand in the world is found in White Sands National Monument. Gypsum deposits are sandblasted into stunning white sand dunes that cover an area of 275 square miles as a result of water evaporating from transient lakes with high mineral content.
Nearly a quarter of a million individuals in New Mexico and southern Colorado speak a historical dialect of Spanish that is primarily of Castilian ancestry.
Car Shipping in New Mexico
In New Mexico, transporting an automobile is an easy procedure. Without the right advice, you might not have a pleasant experience. Included below is a how-to manual for transporting an automobile to or from New Mexico.
The Car Shipping Process
The car shipping process involves three primary steps:
Get a Quote
After carefully selecting your preferred car shipping company, you request a quote and if you like the price and what they have to say, you book your transport. Details of your car, personal details, and other information will be requested to determine your quote.
Pick Up
When a pick-up location and time has been agreed upon, a representative of the car shipping company will contact you to have your car picked up.
Delivery
You will be contacted again when your car is ready to be delivered. You should note, however, that delivery dates are not fixed and are determined by different factors.
Factors Influencing Costs of Car Shipping in New Mexico
Car shipping costs are not fixed and are determined by factors such as pick-up dates, vehicle specifications, and method of shipping, distance, peak seasons, routes, and discounts.
Pick-up Date
The flexibility of your pick-up date affects how much shipping your car will cost. If you prepare ahead of time and book your shipping, you are likely to pay less than if your shipping date can be adjusted. Also, urgent shipping may mean an expedited shipping which always costs more than regular shipping.
Vehicle Specification
As it is shipping any package, you can expect your car to cost more the heavier it is. The bigger and heavier the size of your vehicle, the more expensive its shipping costs. Also, larger cars take up more space in the carriage and require more fuel to ship, hence, they cost more than smaller cars.
Shipping Method
There are two major shipping methods: the enclosed method and the closed method. The enclosed method transports vehicles in an enclosed carrier. These enclosed carriers keep the cars protected from elements such as dust, rain, and snow. As a result, this method costs more than the open method. The open method, however, leaves the vehicles exposed, making them susceptible to damage, and wear and tear. Also, some companies offer door-to-door shipping, while others provide terminal-to-terminal shipping.
Distance
The distance covered between your pick-up and delivery location determines how much your car shipping costs. Longer distances typically cost more than shorter distances. Also, areas that the shipping company more frequently plies cost less than more remote locations.
Peak Seasons
Car shipping is usually in greater demand during spring and summer, this is because it is the time of the year most people move long distances. Hence, shipping during this period costs more than at other times of the year. If you plan to cut costs to ship your car, consider shipping when the demand for car shipping companies is low.
Discounts
You can spend less shipping your car if there is an available discount from your car shipping company. Factors that make you qualify for a discount typically vary from company to company, so you can speak with an agent from your car shipping company to know if you are eligible for any discounts.
Choosing a Car Shipping Company
Whether or not your car shipping process is pleasant is greatly determined by the car shipping company you engage. Hence, there is a need to properly consider and review your preferred car shipping company. Here are some tips to look out for:
Experience & Trustworthiness
Make sure you do a screening on the auto shipping business you choose to ship your vehicle to or from New Mexico in order to determine the firm’s dependability. It is simple to determine they cannot be trusted if there are persistently unfavorable reviews or no bad reviews at all.
The paperwork should be concise and simple to read. Some businesses utilize ambiguity as a trap for unwary clients. Provide as many clarifications as you require to avoid being a victim of this.
References
It is best if you choose a shipping company based on personal references. If you have none, you can research the testimonials of others who have shipped their cars. This can give you a good idea of what shipping companies to avoid and the ones with integrity.
Insurance
It is crucial that your car shipping company provides insurance services. While all car shipping companies are legally required to provide insurance, some companies provide extra services. You should confirm that their insurance is all-encompassing, covering loading, unloading, and transportation. This is because the safety of your car is in the hands of the shipping company, and they are responsible for any damages to your car in transit. However, mechanical damages are not catered for.

Along with regional railroads and other tourism routes, the state also jointly owns and runs the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway.

The BNSF Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad are two class I railways that service New Mexico. They run 2,200 route miles of railway in the state collectively.
There are just three Interstate Highways in New Mexico. I-25 and I-40 come together in Albuquerque at a stack interchange known as The Big I.
Interstate 10 runs through the southwest corner of New Mexico via Las Cruces and close to El Paso, Texas, from the Arizona state line near Lordsburg to the Texas state line.
From Las Cruces, New Mexico, to the Colorado state line near Raton, Interstate 25 is a significant north-south interstate roadway.
Interstate 40- is a major east-west interstate highway starting from the Arizona Stateline west of Gallup to the Texas state line east from Tucumcari. East from Tucumcari to the Texas state line is Gallup.

Spaceport America, the world’s first operational and specifically designed commercial spaceport, is located in Upham, close to Truth or Consequences. Launches of rockets started in April 2007. It has only one renter, UP Aerospace, who launches small payloads and is not developed. Virgin Galactic, a space tourism company, intends to make this their major operating base.

Do not give these people your money. I paid them their $300 deposit to have a driver sent to my location. The driver showed up 2 days late at 10pm and said he couldn’t tow my trailer because my brakes didn’t work and took $400 from me and said I can get my money back from SHIP A CAR INC. Well the driver and this company seemed sketchy and so I called another company to tow it. They towed it on time, without issue, with no complaints about my brakes, for much less. When I called SHIP A CAR INC to see if I can get any of the $700 dollars (which I spent for them to do absolutely nothing for me) back they said they would get in contact with me. Each time I’ve called back they say, again, they will call me later. This has happened 3 times and now I am fed up with waiting. It took me just a couple google searches to find a much more reliable and inexpensive company, who didn’t steal from me, so I recommend you search a little longer and find someone else.

I booked vehicle transport with Ship A car Inc, twice in the past month. The first, the seller cancelled the sale the day that the hauler was scheduled for pick up. YIKES! Contacted Lisa from Ship A Car and she handled everything. I found another BMW K75 for sale, bought it..., and the first call that I made was to Lisa from Ship A Car. Once again, Lisa and Ship A Car Inc. handled everything exceptionally well. Vehicle pick-up and delivery by a company specializing in motorcycle transport. The vehicle arrived earlier than expected (2 days instead of 4) and in perfect condition. Lisa was great at communicating via email and phone (even for a customer that doesn't have an umbilical to his phone.) Would use them again..., in a second!

We were shipping our 1965 Corvette and wanted a covered carrier. Maria Frew was very professional and polite. She returned our calls as soon as she could. Shipacar had the best rates for what we needed. We would use them again.

Everything was pleasant with Ship A Car. They were easy to communicate with and the driver was easy to work with. The car was transported from Grand Junction to Tulsa and the final cost was lower than the initial quote I was given. It was a good experience and I'd do it again if I need to.

I used Ship A Car, Inc. to move two cars from Des Moines, WA to Blue Springs, MO. They hired Nationwide to transport my cars. The contract stated they would arrive no earlier than April 26th to pick up my cars. On April 24th I received a call from the driver stating he would be arriving April 25th pick up my cars. I said I needed my car on the 25th as stated he was not suppose to arrive until at least the 26th. He told me that the only other day he could pick up my cars was on the 29th which was my morning flight to MO. I contacted Ship A Car and they reconfirmed that he will arrive on April 28th to pick up my cars. On April 28th I receive a call from the driver stating he would be there between 6-7 PM. I called at 8 PM to see where he was and he told me that he stopped at a rest stop for awhile and would be there around 8:30 PM. Well, at 9:30 PM I called again and he said his truck broke down. He arrived in a car at 10 PM to sign for the cars. this was stressful as we were to leave on a flight the next morning. Upon arrival near Blue Springs, MO he stated that he needed to park in a large lot about 1.9 miles from my location. I did not realized he was hauling a nine car carrier and I needed to find a way to the lot which was 1.9 miles away. Upon arrival, I paid the driver in cash as they do not allow a credit card. This experience was less than desirable. If you use this carrier, don't be surprise that you may have to drive your vehicles to some large lot for loading and again to a large lot to retrive your vehicles. I doubt that other carriers would be any better. My cars made a trip to Chicago, etc. before arriving at their destination. Just don't be surprised to be inconvenienced in a similar manner no matter what carrier you use. There are some out there that take initial money and you never hear from them again. Check reviews before hiring.

Worked with Larry from Ship a Car a few months ago to ship a vehicle I purchased on the east coast back home to San Diego. Larry was detail-oriented, provided a driver with a fair rate, and picked up the car within the allotted time frame.
The car was delivered earlier than expected which was the joy hiccup; as the vehicle was transferred from a tractor-trailer car hauler to a flatbed trailer from LA to San Diego. In doing so the delivery driver was given an incorrect phone number for contacting me. Fortunately, I was home at 10:30 pm to accept delivery.
The other issue with this unexpected delivery is I didn't have the cash on hand to satisfy the balance due to the driver. However, a call to his supervisor and the payment was made via credit card. Would definitely recommend this coming and would use it again as they're properly insured as well.

Recently we had an opportunity to have our vehicle transported to an auction out of state. We dealt with Bob Moran of your company and was totally pleased with his response. He followed the procedure to the very end and kept us informed daily. We would definitely recommend your company in the future.
