Auto transport is the best stress-free solution to relocating household items or automobiles across the country. Auto shipping was a preserve of car dealers and elites in the past because it was expensive. However, the increase in haulers has made auto shipping affordable to many customers.

You can pay as low as $600 to transport your vehicle from one location to another. Several factors like type, model, size and condition of the car, distance, auto carrier option, and season impact the amount you're likely to pay as shipping cost.

What Determines the Auto Transport Cost?

Below, we have outlined how these factors influence the final auto transport shipping cost.

Vehicle Type/Model/Condition

Naturally, bigger and weightier automobiles will cost more to transport than smaller and lighter ones. More vehicles on the carrier trucks mean that the auto transport cost for individual vehicles will reduce. Ground clearance is another factor that influences the auto transport cost. Vehicles with lower clearance are expensive to transport.

The cost of shipping expensive automobiles is higher than shipping cheaper ones because of the extra cost of insurance. If your automobile is fully operable, you will pay less than shipping an inoperable automobile. Inoperable automobiles cost more to transport because they require special equipment, especially during loading and unloading.

Ensure to provide accurate information about your vehicle to the quote. Otherwise, the quote will get will not reflect the correct amount you're likely to pay at the end of the shipping process.

Transportation Distance

The distance between your vehicle's location and destination also greatly influences the auto transport cost. In most cases, the rate per mile is lower for bigger distances than smaller ones, but the overall cost is higher for longer distances than shorter ones. Below is a table illustrating the differences in rate per mile and overall shipping cost.

Bear in mind that these rates are based on open transport. You will pay much higher to ship your automobile with enclosed transport.

Pickup And Drop-Off Locations

The location you want the transport company to pick up and drop off your automobile also influences the overall auto transport cost. You will pay less when the pickup or drop-off location is an urban setting or highway than in a remote setting.

Ordinarily, you can choose between terminal-to-terminal and door-to-door service. As the name suggests, the door-to-door service will require the transport company to pick up your vehicle from your home and ship it to your location of choice. And because of the additional distance and time spent, the door-to-door service will cost a few hundred dollars more.

With the terminal-to-terminal service, the carrier company requires you to drop off your vehicle at a predetermined location for shipping and pick it up from a location directed by them. The option does not offer the same convenience as the door-to-door service but will save you money.

Specialized Services

Auto transport companies sometimes have to go out of their way to serve customers' needs. These cases include expedited shipping, single-car shipping, and extra insurance. For these services, the auto transport company will go out of its way to accommodate your needs.

To get good rates, we advise you to work with the transport company's timelines on shipping dates, drop-off/pickup locations and auto carrier options.

Season Or Time of The Year

Auto shipping rates are higher in certain months than others due to the increase in demand. Generally, people travel more in January and during summer. On the other hand, winter months witness a huge decline in travelers. During this time, you will get lower rates and more companies to choose from.

If your schedule allows, we advise you to book an auto transport slot when the demand for auto transport slots is low.

Essential Tips to Reduce the Auto Transport Cost

Aside from the auto transport cost, you probably have many other expenses hovering above your head. Luckily, there are several things you can do to bring down the auto transport cost.

Book early: The earlier you make your booking, the better chance you will get the best deals in the market.

Choose terminal-to-terminal delivery: It is cheaper to work with the drop-off and pickup locations provided by the auto transport company.

Choose open transport: Unless you're shipping a highly delicate automobile, it is cheaper to ship with an open carrier than an enclosed carrier.

Discounts: From time to time, auto transport companies offer discounts to the elderly, military personnel, students, loyalist and many more. Inquire from the transport company if you qualify for any of these discounts.

Be flexible with the drop-off and delivery dates: You will pay more if you have a strict schedule than when you're willing to work with the timelines provided by the auto transport company.
