Using Auto Transport Services
Factors Affecting Cost - The cost of having a car shipped is one of the most important concerns for customers and for good reason: it’s not cheap to transport a vehicle. In order to help our readers better understand what influences the cost of shipping, we’ve put together a list of the biggest factors:
- Distance
- Type of vehicle
- Method of transport
- Delivery preference (door-to-door or terminal)
- Current fuel prices
- Pick up and drop off dates
- Additional services
For the most cost-effective method of auto transport, customers should seek a company that has open air, multi-car carriers and will deliver to a shipping terminal.
- Driving v. Shipping - It’s a tempting choice to simply hop in your car and drive it to where you need it shipped and in some cases, this approach makes sense. However, for trips that exceed a few hundred miles, the benefits of working with a professional shipper can often outweigh the risks and time investment that go along with making a long distance trip yourself. According to this PDF document from AAA, the true cost of driving falls somewhere between 40 cents and a dollar per mile, depending on the type of vehicle and how many miles are on it. If your trip could take several days, don’t forget to factor in the cost of food and lodging, as well as your own time spent driving when comparing the cost to that of an auto shipper.
- Avoiding Scams - There are, unfortunately, some less than honest auto shippers. For customers, there are a some basic things you can look for that will help you determine if you’re working with a reputable shipper or not. You should be cautious of any cost estimates that seem too good to be true. These “lowball quotes” are problematic because there are inevitably additional fees tacked on to make up the difference later. This is one reason it’s a good practice to get a handful of price quotes before making a decision on who to work with. The method of payment requested can also be telling. Watch out for companies that require a large up front deposit or insist on a form of payment that is difficult to track-both are telltale signs of a questionable shipper. Finally, evaluate the quality of their company website. Does it have a professional look and offer more than a simple phone number and request form? The answer should be yes if you’re looking for a reliable company you can trust.
