There might be a market for some of those old Dubai cars; they had severe flooding in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday; at least 3000 cars were swept away in the flooding per this Saudi Gazette article. That is very surprising, since we usually think of Saudi Arabia as a desert, but even desert areas occasionally get rain; when they do, flooding often occurs.
What probably got this piece on my radar was the article quoting a ground vehicle transport company manager, who noted that business was essentially stopped in Jeddah.
That’s going to mean that about $60 million in cars will be heading to Jeddah if those cars need to be replaced. That’s a big chunk of change, especially if people are paying for replacement cars out-of-pocket, since there is no requirement for car insurance in Saudi Arabia; traditional Islamic thought leans against insurance as much as some corners of Christian thought do, assuming that God and society will help the folks in need.
You might see a few extra shiploads of cars heading towards Jeddah in the weeks to come, as many of those cars will have to be replaced. There will also be a big increase in parts for the damaged cars, as electrical systems have a tendency to get damaged in flooding.
Saudi Arabia is an interesting critter; they have a lot of modern development yet their nomadic Muslim roots make some corners of their society rather backward; the lack of insurance coverage points out one of many areas where they haven’t fully engaged western economic values.

Backpack!
Graduating high school or college, or if it’s a summer or spring break my friends and I always shouted ‘BACKPACK!’ Do you ever relive those days when you would plan a trip to Europe with your close buddies, the itch to spend those bucks you’d earned in months and just unwind with no worries like a newborn. Those were the days! Then you probably also remembered packing for the venture, planning for the hotel/ lodging arrangements, getting the airport tickets and Euro-rail transports. Then you had to factor in the local food and shopping budget. It always comes out to be more than you budgeted for. Well fortunately here’s a solution easy on the pocket. Have an auto transport company ship your car. Imagine you and your friends all in one car driving in Europe - the hilly mountains, exotic landscape, the cute the crisp smell of fresh air while you zoom in your very own car! Yes, it is that simple. It’s not only the inexpensive but a lot more fun than arranging for a local transport. With Car Transport, we only ask for the pickup and delivery locations. So the moment you reach your destination, your mode of transport will be waiting for you. All you have to do is hop in and enjoy the ride.

What is car shipping?
Car shipping – in simple terms – is the act of transporting a car from one location to another. However, the process could turn out to be a pain if not done properly. There are many choices and options that the customer has to make wisely while choosing the auto transport company. Here’s a simple breakdown of the car shipping process options. The most basic choice starts off with the idea of shipping your car on an open carrier, or in an enclosed carrier. Open carriers are giant trucks with six to ten slots for vehicles. The chances of getting your car damaged are high in an open trailer. Therefore, companies provide the option of enclosed trailers so that when your car is loaded into a trailer it is protected from all kinds of hazards and threats during the shipment. Another option in car shipping is door-to-door shipping or terminal-to-terminal shipping, and we’ll break that down for you. Door-to-door shipping is when the truck will pick up your vehicle straight from your house, regardless of where you live. With terminal-to-terminal shipping, you drop your car off at an open lot, and leave your car there until a truck can come pick it up. This could sometimes take up to months.
Car shipping is a fairly simple and fast process, if the right choices are made while choosing your shipper. Summary: choose an open, door-to-door shipping process. Also check the companies out for their reliability, awards, and BBB ratings before finalizing on a company.
