WHAT IMPACTS THE COST TO SHIP MY CAR?

Our pricing engine uses real-time data, AI, and millions of transport records to deliver fast, reliable car shipping quotes. But even with the most advanced tools, a few key factors will always influence your final rate. Here’s what to keep in mind when budgeting to ship your car:

  • Distance: The farther your vehicle needs to travel, the
    more you’ll pay overall, but the cost per mile typically
    goes down on longer routes.
  • Pickup and Delivery Locations: Urban areas are easier to access and often cheaper. Rural pickups or drop-offs may cost more due to limited carrier  availability and longer
    detours.
  • Vehicle Type: Larger vehicles like SUVs, trucks, and vans take up more room on a trailer and weigh more, which can increase your car shipping quote.
  • Seasonality: Rates fluctuate throughout the year. Expect
    higher pricing during busy seasons—like fall, when snowbirds head south—due to increased demand and
    limited carrier availability.
