TRANSPORT DISTANCE:
Mileage & Range
*Determined by mileage & in range between (long or short).
Longer distances run less per mile, rather than shorter distances.
Distance is a main factor when it comes to calculating your quote for shipping a car. Generally, the longer the route is, the higher the car hauling rates are. Shipping price is calculated based on the mileage traveled. Auto transport companies need to cover additional fuel charges, toll fees and labor.
POPULATION OF ROUTE:
Population & Location
*Impacts the number of truckers traveling to the location. Transport to less populated areas will increase your rate, rather than more popular routes.
Shipping your vehicle locally or across the country may come at a lower cost when it involves big metro areas such as New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago and Houston. Those are popular routes for auto transport companies and so, due to the greater competition, car shipping rates are lower than the price for shipping a car in rural areas. Deviation from common routes requires more time and resource, and we will optimize the cost to ensure the best auto transport price.
VEHICLE CONDITION:
Operable & Inoperable
*Transporting non-drivable vehicles increases your rate due to the fact of having to use special equipment to load vehicle onto trailer.
An operable car can be driven onto any truck. But as far as non running vehicles they must still roll, brake, and steer. Being inoperable will require special equipments designated for inoperable vehicles. Usually meaning being forklifted onto the trailer or winched onto the trailer (which is a automatic machine used by carriers to bring the vehicle onto the trailer- similar to what tow trucks use).
WEIGHT, MAKE & MODEL:
Type of Vehicle and Modifications
*Determined by Weight, Size, Model, & any modifications to the vehicle. Such as: truck lift kits, big tires, low ground clearance, roof racks, etc.
Other factors that affect your car shipping cost concern the vehicle itself. There are vehicles of all sizes and weights. In order to receive an accurate car shipping quote, you need to be precise with the make and the model of your car. Also, specify if there are any modifications to the vehicle or furthermore, it is important to note if the vehicle is non-operable. Auto transport costs will increase based on the weight of your vehicle or if additional attention is needed.

Ship Via Open or Enclosed
