The Cost To Ship A Car Depends On Many Factors
April 2, 2019 / Comments Off on The Cost To Ship A Car Depends On Many Factors
The cost to ship a car depends on a few factors. The cost to ship a car can vary depending on the time of year, vehicle size and weight, the car’s overall condition, the trailer type you choose to use, and the route your shipment will travel.

The factors that go into the cost to ship a car include:
Route and Distance
Some routes are more expensive and time consuming than others. We know which routes are the best so we can manage costs and help control your bottom line.
Vehicle Size and Type
Oversized vehicles need special equipment or driver expertise and that can impact the cost to ship a car.
Origin and Destination
Heavily traveled routes between cities (for example, Dallas to Houston) are usually cheaper than less traveled routes (for example, Boise to Minneapolis) because fewer carriers are available to go there.
Time of Year
It’s more difficult and expensive to move a car in 5-degree weather in Chicago than it is to move a car on a 90-degree day in Miami. It just is.
Type of Trailer Used
An Open trailer is least expensive, but the auto(s) are exposed to road debris and weather. An Enclosed trailer protects the car(s) from the elements but is more expensive.
Condition of the Auto
A car that won’t operate will need a winch to load, while an expensive new Porsche will need a more protective trailer. Special equipment will impact the cost to ship a car.
