How much does automobile transportation cost?

Open auto transport carriers are the most common and usually the least expensive but they’re not always the best option and it all depends on the car you want to ship. It’s really best to discuss any possible regulations that the auto transport company may have so everyone is on the same page and any extra charges are avoided. Here are some factors that may lead to extra fees:

• Oversized vehicles , e.g., 4x4s with large lift kits, motor homes and large cargo vans.
• Cars that do not run and have to be winched onto the car transportation vehicle.
• Variant vehicle attributes that do not conform to typical carrier spacing such as when your vehicle is too low off the ground or is too tall.
• Guaranteed vehicle pick up & delivery dates are often available at a premium

There are a set of factors that deal directly with cars that cannot run and you can view them, as well as other helpful tips, on our Car Shipping FAQ page.

The Distance Your Vehicle is Transported

Distance is one of the major determining factors involved in pricing particular auto transportation shipments. In most cases the further the auto transporter has to travel the more it will cost their customers. In the event of longer hauls it is advisable to go with an auto transportation company that ships nationally since they’ll be able to keep costs lower. For shorter distances (less than 300 miles) it’s actually more cost effective to choose a local transport company. It is a good idea to avoid towing services though, since they have a different set of pricing guidelines to follow which allows them to charge you an arm and a leg.

Auto/RV/Motorcycle Carrier Vehicle Regulations

Vehicle regulations can vary from carrier to carrier and a lot of it depends on the type of transportation they use. Some auto transportation companies use enclosed auto shipping trailers, open carriers or even train transportation.
