American Auto Shipping Announces it’s Newest Car Shipping Cost Calculator

Operational as of August 1st, 2020

This industry-changing technology is an algorithm that looks at nearly Five Hundred (500) data points in real-time to give you the true final price to ship your vehicle the week you need it shipped instantly!  The algorithm not only looks at available listings and recent shipments, it looks at past pickup times, and days.  It looks at your vehicle and other vehicles on your route have moved fast or slow on your route historically.  It looks at seasonal routes like snowbirds and accounts for supply and demand. It adjusts for big weather events and road closures in real-time.
In the end, our price to ship your vehicle will be the cheapest as most other companies can only look at a few data points and our auto transport price calculator looks at almost five hundred (500) in real-time. Many companies have to quote higher to be safe or less scrupulous ones guess low and then ask you for more money later.  We found our customers want to know upfront when they hire us what the price to ship their vehicle is going to be with no surprises or hidden fees later, so that is our business model.  Please fill out our auto transport price quote now, or phone us at 800-930-7417 and we will do it for you!

I had American Auto Shipping ship two of my cars cross country. The process was easy, the staff was helpful and knowledgeable. I worked with Aerin and she kept me informed on when my car would be picked up, status of the cars, and the delivery. She also followed up with me after the delivery to make sure everything had gone smoothly. At the delivery our driver was friendly and the cars arrived on time and in the same condition we left them. I would use this service again if the need came up.

Thank you Aerin for your help setting up my transportation needs. You made it quick and easy and answered all my questions for this was my first time shipping a vehicle across the country. Very reliable and a great company to deal with. Thanks again! William.

I needed to send a Dodge Charger from SC to CO. Andrew was very helpful in explaining the process to me. The Driver selected was just as professional. The car arrived in excellent condition and sooner than expected. Thank you Ron, and thank you Andrew. Would definitely use this company again.

How much does it cost to ship my car?

Pricing Factors

The cost to ship a car is calculated on various factors, and those can fluctuate based on time of year or market conditions. A few more factors that influence your auto transport price are the size and type of vehicle, open auto transport vs enclosed, and and transport distance.

Size & Type of Vehicle

The size and type of your vehicle influences your auto transport price. Larger vehicles are heavier (trucks, vans) than a typical car, and as a result, can cost more.

Open vs Enclosed

Transporting your car on an open carrier is cheaper, because it is more widely available across our fleet. Most people use open auto transport for the savings.

Transport Distance

The further the vehicle has to go, the more expensive it will be. Cross country auto transport is the most expensive. To save on distance, consider taking delivery in a nearby big city to save a few bucks.

Learn More About Auto Transport

In our industry, there are two types of auto shipping companies: Carriers & Brokers.

Brokers vs. Carriers

When looking for a car shipping company, it’s best to stick to brokers, as they are the ones that will actually organize your shipment and handle all the money and paperwork. Not only that, brokers tend to keep transport prices lower, and here’s why: in our industry, auto transport carriers basically set the prices. They are in control of how much the shipping service ends up costing, and if they had their way, you would be paying thousands of dollars per car shipped. As a top transportation company, we understand what it takes to get your vehicle moved at a competitive rate.

Brokers Keep Your Costs Low

Brokerages, however, keep car shipping prices low by being competitive with one another. Since most carriers must take car transport loads from brokerages, they won’t price gouge customers because a customer can just go with a different broker. Finding good auto shippers starts with car shipping quotes; from there, you book your order with a broker and the broker will then find a good carrier to transport your vehicle.

What Can I Transport?

American Auto Shipping focuses on shipping cars, trucks and SUVs, but we can move more than just those. Always check with us. as we ship oversized vehicles such as vans, dual wheel trucks, box trucks, and even larger vehicles on flatbeds and lowboys. Make sure that you have the dimensions of any oversize vehicle available that you want to ship, as we will require the dimensions before giving you a quote. Usually the length, height, width and weight of the vehicle moved are required for your auto transport. Call us to get a quote or reserve your shipment today.

What Is A Carrier?

Some auto shippers are known as carriers. These companies are the companies that actually transport the vehicle on their own trucks. Other auto transport companies are known as brokerages, and they are the ones that will be arranging the vehicle transport between you and the carrier. When you fill out our free instant online car shipping quote request form, you will receive an estimate of how much it will be to ship your vehicle on one of our carriers. All our carriers are fully insured for $750,000. Carriers are required by federal law to carry 0,000 worth of insurance on their truck to cover any and all damages that are caused by the driver or theft during car transport.

Go National Instead of Local

Searching for a nationwide auto transportation company will always yield better results on price. It may be tempting to do a search for car transport companies in your area, but the reality is that the best car shipping companies work nationwide, can ship your car cross country and almost always will be based somewhere other than where you are. Nationwide companies, like us, are also able to offer great deals compared to local movers.
