Cost To Ship A Four Wheeler

What is the Cost To Ship A Four Wheeler?

Shipping a four-wheeled ATV to another location is something that is done every day. A few factors will affect the total cost to ship it; these factors include distance, special additions, customizations, where it may be shipped, the weight of the ATV, and whether it is currently running or not.

The current cost of gas when you ship the ATV will also affect the total price. Because there are so many factors that affect the total charge, the quotes you receive could vary a bit. It's important to get a quote from more than one vehicle shipper before you commit to one.

It's important to have an idea of how much it will cost to ship a four-wheeler. Knowing the estimated expected price can help you prepare for your transport and help you compare quotes more efficiently. Some factors will still affect the actual price based on the quote you receive, but these figures will give you a general idea. It's important also to add the price of short-term insurance to your quote if you were not quoted insurance as well. This is a must when shipping anything. The charge of transporting a Quad through A1 Auto Transport service, the charges from Los Angeles, CA to New York City is about $750, while if you need the quad transported from Boston, MA, to Las Vegas, NV, it is $700. However, prices are lower if you are shipping from Chicago, IL, to Seattle, WA, as it is within the $600 range. You will need to check with us about the transit cost to the specific city.

Enclosed or Open Carriers

The carrier you choose will most likely haul loads using an open container or a closed container. An open container may be an open flatbread hauler and an enclosed container would reference a crate that your ATV will be shipped in. While some transporting companies will only haul motorcycles and forms of motorcycles, others will not be limited and will haul everything from ATVs to trucks. Before you make arrangements to ship your ATVs, you need to consider the method by which they will be shipping your ATV when it is ready to ship out. It is best to talk with us and get a quote on the services.

What's In your Quote?

It doesn't matter what type of ATV you are shipping; you should know the cost to ship a four-wheeler in your quote when you receive one. Distance is the biggest factor, and the current price of fuel will reflect the price. It's important to know what else is included in your quote. One charge that could be added is the fuel surcharge, and you need to know why it's included.

You must purchase insurance for your transport. While most quotes will include some type of coverage, they will mostly cover the damages done directly by the auto carrier, so this leaves you vulnerable if your vehicle is damaged another way during transport. Ask for the supplemental insurance plan that you can purchase separately, and it will give you the coverage you need while the 4-wheeler is in transport.
