How Much Does It Cost To Move A Vehicle?

When the need to relocate a four-wheeler arises, the first thing you would probably think about is the shipping cost. You will want to compare the moving cost with the cost of driving.

Car shipping is not as expensive as people think. Plus, the surge in the number of transport companies in the market has reduced the moving rates significantly.

Here are some of the factors that transport companies consider when calculating the shipping cost:

Weight And Size

The size and weight of a four-wheeler determine how many cars a movers truck can transport, affecting the hauling cost. An open-air freight truck can fit up to ten rides, while enclosed shifters can move up to six four-wheelers, depending on their sizes. A bigger number of four-wheelers on the carrier truck means there are more customers to share the shipping cost.

Weighty four-wheelers are more expensive to transport because the carrier trucks use more fuel. It is also important to note that hauler trucks are not allowed to exceed 80,000 lbs.

Shifting Distance

When filling out the quote form, you will be asked to indicate the location and destination of your ride. The shipping company will approximate the moving distance and multiply it by their rates per mile. Most companies' moving rates vary from $0.65 to $0.75 per mile.

Shipping rates per mile are higher for shorter distances than longer distances to prevent customers traveling longer distances from overpaying to haul their cars. This is not to say you will pay less to move your ride to a shorter distance. The moving cost will always be directly proportional to the transportation distance.

Apart from the distance, the hauler company will consider the remoteness of the pickup or drop-off location. You will pay more to ship a car to a remote area than an urban or a location near a major road.

Delivery Services

Most shipping companies offer customers two pickup/drop-off methods (door-to-door/terminal-to-terminal) that differ in cost. The door-to-door service is more expensive than the terminal-to-terminal service.

Here is a breakdown of how the two shipping options vary:

• Terminal-to-terminal service: You must drop your car at a designated location and pick it up at a predetermined location. If you choose this option, you should arrange to pick up your four-wheeler as soon as it arrives at the destination.
• Door-to-door service: It is the most convenient moving option. The hauler company will pick up your car from your preferred location and deliver it to your desired location. It is more expensive because it takes more time and effort. The door-to-door service applies only when the pickup and drop-off locations are accessible to the mover's truck.
• Other auto shipping options that will dictate the moving cost are open-air and enclosed transport. Both options will ensure your ride arrives at the destination in perfect condition but vary in cost and safety.
• Open-air transport: Most customers prefer shipping via open-air movers because they are cheaper and more available. They can ship more cars and provide more flexible hauling dates. The only challenge you will encounter with open-air freight is that your vehicle is exposed to the outside environment during delivery. However, you have no reason to worry because the insurance cover provided by the transporter takes responsibility for any damages that occur during delivery.
• Enclosed carrier transit: The enclosed carrier is a good option if you are delivering a highly valuable or delicate four-wheeler. Enclosed movers ship fewer four-wheelers per trip; hence the moving cost will be high. In most cases, enclosed carriers can cost up to 50% more than open-air carriers.

Other factors that often affect the moving cost are the cost of fuel and season. When the fuel cost is high, delivery rates will be high, and vice versa. But once you have made a booking, any change in fuel cost will not increase the shipping cost.

Shipping rates are higher during the summer months compared to the winter months. The movement of people from one place to another is higher during winter than in summer, and moving companies will take advantage of this to increase their profit margins.

Note: Most car transit firms offer discounts to loyal customers and those shipping more than one four-wheeler. You can also ask the moving company to reduce their rates to suit your budget.

FAQS

When Is the Best Time To Move A Vehicle?

You're likely to get better deals during winter than summer because fewer people travel during this time. Most shipping companies reduce the shipping cost when the demand for moving slots is low.

How Does The Size Of The Vehicle Affect The Shifting Cost?

It is more expensive to haul bigger cars than smaller four-wheelers because they occupy more space on the mover's truck. Plus, bigger cars are probably heavier, and the movers truck will use more fuel to facilitate the transport.

How Much Is It To Deliver A Four-Wheeler To Another State?

It depends on the type of ride and transportation distance. Hauling a car from one state to another often ranges from $700 to $1200.

Is It Safe To Haul A Delicate Four-Wheeler?

Auto-hauling is one of the safest ways of relocating a car. Shipping via an enclosed mover offers more security. Your ride is transported on a fully covered carrier truck and will not be exposed to road debris or harsh weather conditions.

How Many Vehicles Can I Transit Per Trip?

It depends on the auto-shipping option you choose. Open-air freight can move up to twelve cars, while enclosed moves can ship up to eight, depending on their sizes. An auto carrier truck's weight should not exceed 80,000 lbs.
