When you approach a shifting service for assistance with moving, you will at first want to get estimates for the move. Your vehicles, whether your car or bike will usually be moved separately from the rest of your goods for security reasons. You will be moving your car yourself for local moves but you will need professional services for moving your vehicle to distant cities. Usually, you will be given options in terms of modes of transport and one of them can be Car shifting by train. 

• trains are regarded as the cheapest mode of transport for moving goods 
• though in the case of cars it is a different matter altogether

The practicalities of shifting your car via trains

While your bike can be loaded easily onto the trains, the cars will have to be loaded onto containers which then will be loaded onto the trains for the move. You should also note that this means that the facility for moving cars will be available at and between stations that allow for the loading and unloading of vehicles. The number of such stations is limited though this facility is available for most major metro cities of the country. As door-to-door services are offered for Car Transport in India, your car will be moved to the nearest station offering this facility. If this facility is not available at the destination either, again the nearest station that allows for the unloading of containers will be used. The charges you will have to pay will include the cost of booking the container and the charges for the trains.

Most of these service providers will take their calculators out to tell you if it would be cheaper to move your vehicle via trains or if moving via transport vehicles will be cheaper. In most cases, you will find that the trains will be the cheaper option particularly when the destination is too far away.
