Everything You Need to Know About the State of Tennessee (TN)
In 1796, Tennessee was recognized as a state of the Union. It shares a boundary with North Carolina to the east and Arkansas and Missouri to the west. Two major cities in the state are Memphis and Nashville and it is popularly known as the center of country music and the blues.
The cities have hosted the best artists such as Dolly Parton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley. Music is not the only thing Memphis is well known for, as its barbecue is so fantastic they hold a “Memphis in May” barbecue yearly.
Future president Andrew Jackson founded the city of Memphis on May 22, 1819, along with John Overton and James Winchester. They named it after the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis—meaning “place of good abode”—which was located at the head of the Nile River Delta.
William Strickland, the engineer and architect of the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville, died in 1854 during the building’s construction. At his request, he was laid to rest within the structure’s walls.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is America’s most visited national park, charming more than 9.4 million people in 2010. Well-known as the “Salamander Capital of the World,” the park hosts the most diverse inhabitants of salamanders in the world: 30 different species.
Memphis, Tennessee, is home to Graceland, Elvis Presley & rescue’s former estate. It is one of the most visited personal residences in America–second only to the White House.
Car Shipping in Tennessee
Tennessee is a state that offers multiple points of attraction for visitors and prospective residents. If you have a reason to move to Tennessee on either a short term or long-term basis, then you do not need to worry about shipping your car. This is because the car shipping process can be as easy and stress free for you, if you have the right help.
Here is a guide to point you in the right direction.
Documents Needed for Car Shipping in Tennessee
Car Documents
The car shipping company you engage will request you provide a copy of your car’s document. This document will include information about the car’s name and model, the brand and other relevant information about the car.
Document Showing Proof of Ownership
As a security measure, it is standard practice for you to present a document that proves you own the vehicle that is to be shipped.
Means of identification
As can be expected, you will also be required to provide a means of identification. This could be your driver’s license, international passport or a state issued ID.
Factors Influencing Cost of Car Shipping
Certain factors serve as determinants that influence how much you spend when shipping your car to or from Tennessee. Some of them are:
Method of Shipping
There are two primary car shipping methods in Tennessee, the open method and the enclosed method. The open method is the cheaper one, and it involves transporting vehicles in an open carriage. Although the open method leaves the vehicle exposed to elements such as rain, dust, and snow, it oftentimes remain the preferred method due to its price.
The enclosed method makes use of an enclosed carriage, protecting the cars from all forms of external elements. This method is typically more expensive than the open method.
Peak Seasons
Over time, it has been observed that summer is the most preferred time of the year for most travelers. This is mostly due to long breaks in schools that allow families to have time to travel together. As a result, there is an increased demand for car shipping companies in this period, causing a hike in car shipping costs.
Overall Distance
The distance the shipping company covers when shipping your car also determines its costs. The longer the distance covered, the higher the costs.
Size and weight of the car
The cost of shipping will vary depending on the type of car. For instance, a truck would cost more to transport than a smaller car, depending on its size. The amount of fuel used by the auto carrier depends on the size and weight of the vehicle. Additionally, larger automobiles require more space, so you should let the shipping business know what size vehicle you intend to ship.
Accessibility of location
There are times when a location is more difficult to enter and exit, and other times it takes longer for truck drivers to pick up and deliver vehicles to / from remote areas; for these reasons, shipping to some locations is more expensive. Deliveries to prominent locations are less expensive and take less time because the route is well-known to the drivers.
Pick-up and delivery flexibility
You can negotiate better prices by being flexible with your delivery schedule and location. You will pay more if you need emergency shipment or have a tight schedule. Shipping is always more expensive when it is expedited. To further cut costs, you can go the extra mile and meet the truck driver at a prearranged place.

I wanted to share with you the exceptional service I received from Jeremy Wiles on a recent car shipment. While in Florida earlier this month for some surgery our daughter was having in West Palm Beach, we found a used vehicle we purchased for her there, but needed to figure out how we would get it back to Ohio. Having never utilized a car shipping service before, I Googled “car shippers” and Ship a Car, Inc. was one of the companies I contacted. I spoke with Jeremy who was extremely helpful in helping me understand the process, and easing any fears we had about utilizing car shipping services. Although I talked to several other brokers, I told my wife that I felt most comfortable with Jeremy. I called him back and he was extremely helpful again in walking me through the process. Jeremy stayed in touch with me as a shipper was located, and then was available to answer any questions I had through vehicle pick-up from the dealership.
Our car arrived on Saturday through Prestige Auto Carriers, on-time, and in fine condition. As a first time user of this kind of service, I just wanted to let you know of the excellent customer service Jeremy provided to me. I am a firm believer that when someone provides exceptional customer service, you let them, and their bosses know, which is the purpose of this e-mail. Jeremy is truly an asset to your organization.

Riding my motorcycle cross-country from Florida, up to Jasper Canada, and down to California put a hurting on my hands. I was looking to cut out the San Francisco section of our trip and have the bike shipped to Carson City NV. I needed the bike there in two weeks; by the end of September. Two major shippers said they could not get the bike there until October. Then I had the good fortune of connecting with Ship a Car Inc. Steve Goodman handled my request and said they could do it.
I was a bit nervous as Steve took a couple days to arrange transport and call me. But he came through and got the bike transported quicker than I would have expected. Since we were already in San Francisco, I called the shop in Eureka CA where I had left the bike for pick-up. As Steve had said, the bike was transported in an enclosed truck. The shop told me the driver was very professional and took a long time to make sure my bike was loaded and secured properly. I then called the shop in Carson City where the bike was to be delivered. They told me the bike was already there, that the driver had taken great care with my bike, and that he seemed very professional.
This was a very difficult time-frame to deal with. This was not a pre-scheduled transportation issue. It was a last-minute decision on my part. The location of the pick-up shop in Eureka CA was only an every two-week area for the two other shippers I had tried. Steve Goodman and Ship a Car Inc came through. They saved our vacation and I am grateful, extremely grateful for the professionalism displayed. I would use their service again… in a heartbeat.
Ship a Car Inc. is the best motorcycle shipping company I have had the pleasure of encountering. This is the second time they have shipped my bike. I have had experience with other shippers and, in my experience, Ship a Car Inc. sets the standard for quality service.
This time I had my bike shipped from Santa Fe NM to Florida. Joseph Gorfien was my facilitator. He arranged to have the bike picked up within a couple of days. Considering the shop at which I had left it was closed for a day, this was the first possible opportunity to ship it. Amazing! Joseph thought it might take about six days to deliver the bike to Florida, but it got here in three. Amazing! The bike has a custom paint job and custom parts. There was not one scratch on the bike and everything was in perfect order.
These folks have not only demonstrated extreme competency in making what could have been a couple of difficult situations totally stress-free, they all seem to have a great sense of humor. I love these folks!
Thank you for a couple of wonderful experiences, Ship a Car. I highly recommend their service. In the future, I won’t use anyone else.
