Shipping a car can seem like a daunting task, especially when you’re unsure about the costs involved. At SMRK AutoShip, we strive to make the process as transparent and straightforward as possible. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the factors that influence the cost of shipping a car, so you can make an informed decision.
The size and weight of your vehicle play a major role in determining shipping costs. Larger and heavier vehicles like trucks and SUVs need more space and resources, making them more expensive to transport than standard sedans.
The condition of your vehicle affects the shipping cost. Inoperable vehicles require special equipment like winches for loading and unloading. It is essential that non-running vehicles can still roll, steer, and brake during the loading process.
The locations and distance of your vehicle's pickup and delivery impact the shipping cost. Urban areas have more carriers, resulting in lower costs. Rural locations may require detours, increasing time and fuel expenses. Shorter distances cost more per mile but less overall, while longer distances cost less per mile but more overall.
The choice between open and enclosed car transport affects your shipping cost. Open transport is more common and less expensive, suitable for most vehicles. Enclosed transport offers extra protection from weather and road debris, making it ideal for luxury, classic, or high-value cars but comes at a higher cost.
The time of year affects auto shipping rates. Winter months typically see higher costs due to snow and ice impacting trucking routes. Shipping during off-peak seasons can often offer more competitive rates and potentially lower overall costs.
Carrier availability and the number of vehicles needing transport on a route impact prices. High demand with limited carrier availability can drive up costs. Bidding wars among customers for priority shipments can also increase prices.
