Computing Car Shipping Costs

Auto Transport:
We are often asked how much to ship a car before we have all the proper information. Since there are several factors that will determine auto transport rates their is no "instant answer". If there is be forwarned.

Factors that can effect auto shipping price our things like;

1. What are gas prices like right now. (remember the majority of auto transport is done by auto carriers - trucks, not rail)

2. Do I need it shipped right away (express auto transport) or am I flexible. (auto shippers and any auto transport company charge an addtiional for this service)If flexible they can work into their carriers schedule keeping the cost lower for you.

3. Will I be using an enclosed auto transporter or standard auto shipping? (enclosed trucks cover cars from possible damage more like weather and road debris.)

Keep all these factors in mind when transporting your vehicle and watch out for any prices that seem too low or "instant"
