how the prices are formed
According to current market trends, prices for nationwide car shipping vary. In order to determine the final cost of the car transportation service, we need to know the kind of vehicle you would like to ship, the destination, the vehicle's size, condition , the distance traveled, the method of transport, and the season at which the vehicle will be shipped.
Vehicle's dimensions and weight
We ask about the precise vehicle specifications when organizing your auto transfer since the truck driver has to know how much room is needed to safely secure your car and ensure sufficient trailer height and side clearance. The cost of transporting longer, taller, or heavier vehicles may vary because of special accommodations required.
The shipping distance
The major factor in determining a car transportation quote is total distance. Longer distances typically result in a higher overall cost for shipping an automobile. Still, they also come with a lower cost per mile. Using our car shipping calculator, you can find the best auto transport quote for every car shipment.
The transportation type
Open auto transport is the industry standard and is preferred by most when shipping a car due to its cost-effectiveness. Enclosed vehicle transportation provides added protection against weather and dirt, making it a recommended option. Although it may be more expensive, it's worthwhile for delicate, unusual, or luxury vehicles, ensuring peace of mind.
The vehicle condition
Shippers often offer lower prices for operable vehicles during a specific distance. The cost is lower if your vehicle can steer, brake, and roll. However, additional equipment like a winch is needed if it's non-operational, increasing the shipping cost. Please note that Route One Car Hauling only provides quotes for inoperable vehicles that can be loaded/unloaded using a wrecker or forklift.
