How Your Vehicle Shipping Quote is Calculated

The cost of shipping your vehicle is calculated based on several important factors to ensure fair and accurate pricing. These primarily include the total distance your vehicle will travel from its origin to its final destination, as well as the specific make, model, and size of your car, truck, SUV, or other type of vehicle being transported.

Additionally, the method of transport you select plays a significant role in the overall cost. Open carrier shipping, where your vehicle is transported on a trailer exposed to the elements, is generally more economical. Enclosed carrier shipping, which offers premium protection within a covered trailer, typically involves a higher price point.

Market conditions and the specific routes involved can also influence pricing. High-demand routes or shipments during peak seasons might experience slight variations in rates. Furthermore, the individual pricing structures and service levels offered by the different carriers in our network are taken into consideration to provide you with a range of competitive options.

To receive the most accurate and personalized estimate for your vehicle shipping needs, we encourage you to utilize our convenient online cost calculator. By providing us with the details of your shipment, you can instantly compare quotes from multiple reputable carriers and select the option that best aligns with your specific requirements and budget.

FAQ

How do you compare quotes?

We compare more than 20 best companies and select 4-6 that will match the most. We compare companies according to several factors, though the main ones are the price, license, and rating. Other factors considered are the type of trailer (open or enclosed), the size of the trailer, amount of the insurance coverage, experience (years in the transportation industry), closest dates available, possible discounts for military members, multiple car shipping, and regular shipping customers.

Is your service absolutely free?

Our service is absolutely free. We do not charge anything for requesting a quote on our website. Moreover, most of the companies we work with are also transparent in the payment process. They do not require any kind of prepayment or do not charge the whole amount upfront. Usually, the payment with the top companies is divided into 2 parts: a partial deposit covering taxes, fees, and insurance is charged after the car is picked up, and then the rest you pay at the drop off directly to the driver. Some companies may also collect the total amount at the drop-off.

Are the companies licensed and fully insured?

The companies we collaborate with have been in the transportation industry for more than a decade. They are licensed, experienced, and fully insured. We do care about our customers, so every company that wants to work with us is thoroughly checked using the FMCSA website. The insurance coverage of the companies we work with varies from $100 000 to $250 000 per vehicle on the trailer for open car haulers and for enclosed the insurance is always $250 000.

How long does it take to ship a vehicle?

The time frame of the transportation always depends on mileage and type of the trailer you choose. Enclosed trailers usually transport vehicles faster as they only carry 3-5 cars at a time. For example, it takes only 5 days to transport the vehicle for the distance of 3000 mi. As for open trailers, drivers usually cover 400 miles per day. So for 400-800 miles it usually takes 2 days, for 900-1600 miles - 3-4 days, 1700-2500 - 5-6 days, 2500 and more - 7-9 days.

Can I transport my vehicle if it's not running?

We can find a company to transport any kind of vehicle whether it is running or not. If your vehicle only has a battery issue, it can be jump-started and shipped by a regular carrier. If it has a more serious issue, the carrier company will decide whether it is possible to load the car with a winch or a forklift is needed to load it on and off the car hauler.
