Auto Shipping FAQ: Why Should I get Multiple Quotes?
Getting multiple auto transport quotes is vital to finding the right company for your needs. Whether you’re moving your vehicle across town, across state, or across the country, there’s an auto transport company that can help you with it – for a price.
And that’s where getting multiple free auto transport quotes is a big step forward for you: you want to find the best company to handle your specific vehicle shipping needs, and you want to make sure that you find it for a reasonable price. But multiple quotes are really sort of worthless unless you know what you’re looking at and for, and that’s why we’re writing this helpful blog post.
For starters, you want to understand how auto transporters price their shipments. A combination of where you’re shipping from and to, what you are shipping, and when you are shipping it is considered the pricing trifecta, as that’s going to be roughly 90% of your quote right there.
Where you’re shipping from and to is important because it gives your shipper your route and distance information, and they will be able to look up other vehicles along that route to get a good idea of where your prices are likely going to land. From there, they’ll nail down your price by looking at your vehicle information, specifically the year, make and model, and adjust the price accordingly. Most of the time the “when” depends on the here and now; it factors in carrier availability in your pickup area and the popularity of your route, which can change by the week.
These factors are all flexible, and this is what makes getting multiple car shipping quotes important. Multiple quotes allows you to compare different prices from different companies.
