Cost To Ship a Car 1000 Miles

The Average Cost to Ship Car 1000 miles

Estimating the cost of transporting a vehicle from one area to another is difficult. A1 Auto Transport gives its customers an accurate breakdown of the cost of shipping a car 1,000 miles, as well as a truck, motorbike, or RV, but other businesses won't even bother to give a close estimate.

When you move a vehicle from one major city to another, you are more likely to be able to choose the terminal where your vehicle will ship out of the United States.

If you ship your vehicle, you will need to choose the shipping method. One method of shipping is open carrier shipping, which will normally run around $600 to 800. This is estimating the high cost of fuel as it has been running. You will most likely receive a fixed rate and then a rate based on per miles. If you ship your vehicle using a closed container, there are a few factors that will help to determine the cost that you will pay. You can assist the shipping agent by knowing the answer to these questions:

• Where will your vehicle be picked up and delivered?
• The type of vehicle that you are shipping.
• When do you need the vehicle to be shipped?
• What method of shipping do you choose? Open or closed?

To determine the distance, you will need to know the port you are shipping from and the port you are shipping to. This will help your agent determine the distance your vehicle will need to Travel. The second factor is the type of transportation you will be selecting if you have a choice. If the vehicle is shipped in a container, it will cost more than if you choose to ship it by way of an open container. When you choose to ship, the vehicle is important because the weather could be bad when you ship, causing delays. The condition of the vehicle is going to be important in determining the cost of the shipment because if the vehicle is not running, there will be more to do with it than if it is running. You don't want to give in the lower prices because the customer service may be missing as well. It's important to get a few quotes before you make up your mind.

So, to determine the cost of shipping a car 1000 miles, you can figure it to cost between $.50 per mile and $1.00 per mile. There are many factors that will determine what you will pay to ship a car. If you are transporting an RV, it's important to know that since RVs come in a variety of sizes and shapes, the cost will vary, too. For example, suppose you have a Class A motorhome; it will cost more than a Class B or even Class C. The weight of the RV will be a determining factor, leaning it more toward $1.00 per mile instead.

The delivery method will also be a primary factor in the cost of shipping a car 1000 miles. There are two ways to ship your vehicle; open or enclosed container. If you choose an open auto carrier, you will be shipping your vehicle with several vehicles at one time on a loaded trailer. If you choose enclosed shipping, you will be able to ship your vehicle in a secured container that is closed up and offers the most protection from any damage or from theft. If you have a valuable vehicle or a classic or performance vehicle, you may want to select the closed-container shipping option instead.
