Costs for shipping a car
Car transport rates are based on many aspects, and it is very important to understand what goes into the price of your transportation quote.
Factors that determine the price:
- Vehicle model (SUV, VAN, Sedan)
- Distance/Location
- Hauling method (open vs. enclosed)
- Vehicle condition (operable or inoperable)
- Time of the year
There are several types of services that we provide:
- Door-to-door: This is the most popular method because the driver will come directly to you. Easy and convenient.
- Open transportation: Most of the time cars are shipped using an open-air carrier. The vehicle is placed on the trailer with up to eight other cars.
- Enclosed transportation: Anyone who owns a luxury, exotic, or classic car, can benefit from shipping their cars in an enclosed trailer for more protection.
- Inoperable vehicles: If the vehicle does not run, equipment la forklift must be used to get the car on or off the trailer.
