The Average Cost to Ship a Car 1000 miles

Estimating the cost of transporting a vehicle from one area to another is difficult. A1 Auto Transport gives its customers an accurate breakdown of the cost of shipping a car 1,000 miles and a truck, motorbike, or RV, but other businesses won't even bother to give a close estimate.

When you move a vehicle from one major city to another, you are more likely to be able to choose the terminal where your truck will ship out of the United States.

If you ship your vehicle, you must choose the shipping method. One shipping method is open carrier shipping, typically around $600 to 800. This is estimating the high cost of fuel as it has been running. You will most likely receive a fixed rate and then a rate based on per miles. If you ship your vehicle using a closed container, a few factors will help determine the cost you will pay. You can assist the shipping agent by knowing the answer to these questions:

• Where will your vehicle be picked up and delivered?
• The type of vehicle that you are shipping.
• When do you need the vehicle to be shipped?
• What method of shipping do you choose? Open or closed?

To determine the distance, you must know the port you are shipping from and the port you are shipping to. This will help your agent determine the distance your vehicle will need to Travel. The second factor is the type of transportation you will be selecting if you have a choice. If the car is shipped in a container, it will cost more than if you choose to ship it through an open container. When you choose to ship, the vehicle is important because the weather could be harmful when you ship, causing delays. The car's condition will be critical in determining the shipment cost because if the vehicle is not running, there will be more to do with it than if it is running. You don't want to give in the lower prices because the customer service may also be missing. It's essential to get a few quotes before you decide.

So, to determine the cost of shipping a car 1000 miles, you can figure it to cost between $.50 per mile and $1.00 per mile. Many factors will determine what you will pay to ship a car. If you are transporting an RV, it's essential to know that since RVs come in various sizes and shapes, the cost will vary, too. For example, suppose you have a Class A motorhome; it will cost more than a Class B or even Class C. The weight of the RV will be a determining factor, leaning it more toward $1.00 per mile instead.

The delivery method will also be a primary factor in the cost of shipping a car 1000 miles. There are two ways to ship your vehicle: open or enclosed container. If you choose an open auto carrier, you will ship your vehicle with several vehicles simultaneously on a loaded trailer. If you decide to use enclosed shipping, you can ship your vehicle in a secured container that is closed up and offers the most protection from any damage or theft. If you have a valuable or classic, or performance vehicle, you may want to select the closed-container shipping option instead.
