Relocating with your car to a new location is a big challenge, especially when your destination is hundreds of miles away. Driving the car is an option, but it is inconvenient and time-consuming. Hence, it would be best if you utilized the services of an auto shipping company.

Pricing & Time Examples To Relocate Your Car

How Much Does It Cost To Move A Vehicle?

Before you search for the right hauler, you will probably want to know how much you will spend shipping your car—most companies' relocating costs within the US range between $700 to $1200.

Even though it's tough to determine the exact shipping cost, some factors affect the shifting cost.

• Transportation distance
• Size and model of car
• Hauling method
• Auto-shipping option

Shipping Distance

The distance between the location and destination of your car is an essential factor when calculating the shipping cost. Most companies will have their price per mile indicated on their website, which ranges from $0.65 to $0.75.

For example, if the rate per mile is $.0.75, you will pay $750 to relocate a car to a 1000-mile distance. Relocating companies decrease the shipping rate per mile as the transportation distance increases.

Size And Model of The Car

The size and model of your car will also significantly impact the shifting cost. Heavier vehicles like pickup trucks and SUVs cost more to move than sedans. A small number of oversized vehicles can fit into a carrier truck compared to small cars. Equally, big cars are heavier, so the carrier truck will use more fuel to shift them.

Ensure you provide accurate information about your car when filling out the quote form to avoid a future relocation cost increase.

Shifting Method

Most companies provide two primary shifting methods: door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal. Each technique will ensure your car arrives at the destination in good condition, but they differ in many ways.

Door-to-door shipping is the most convenient way of relocating a car. For this method, we will send a representative to pick up and deliver your vehicle to your location of choice. Moving a car with door-to-door service is more expensive because the carrier truck will spend more time and fuel picking up and delivering your vehicle to its destination.

You will pick up and deliver your car to and from a predetermined location for the terminal-to-terminal option. Although you will pay less to use this service, the inconvenience and insecurity in the terminuses make it a cumbersome choice. Some companies may not have safe terminuses. If you choose this method, pick up your car when it arrives at the terminus.

Auto-hauling Option

Apart from the door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal services, you can move your car with an open-air or enclosed carrier. The two carrier options differ in terms of safety and shifting costs.

Open-air carriers are cheaper and can transport more vehicles. The only challenge of shipping with an open-air truck is exposing your vehicle to road debris and harsh weather conditions during relocating.

Enclosed carriers are fully covered trucks or containers used to move cars. It is an expensive option; you could pay up to 60% more to shift your vehicle with an enclosed carrier than an open-air carrier. Because of the increased safety, enclosed carriers can move fewer vehicles.

Other Factors to Consider

• Condition of the car: It is more costly to ship an inoperable vehicle than an operable one. Inoperable cars require special equipment to help during loading and unloading, which adds to the final cost. On the other hand, the procedure necessary for loading and unloading inoperable cars is more straightforward; the vehicle is driven into and out of the carrier truck.
• Season: Relocating a car during peak months is more expensive because of the surge in demand for shipping slots. Often, the shifting cost during summer is $200 to $300 higher than during winter. If your schedule allows, moving a car during winter is cheap.
• The number of cars: Most haulers offer discounts to customers moving multiple vehicles.

FAQS

What Are the Cheapest Hauling Options?

Relocating with an open carrier truck and choosing the terminal-to-terminal service is the cheapest way of moving a car. Other ways to cut down the shifting cost include relocating multiple cars, emptying the car before hauling, and hauling when the demand for shipping slots is low.

Is It Safe to Move with An Open-Air Carrier?

Yes. The open-air carrier option is one of the safest ways of shifting a car. The only challenge with this option is that your vehicle is exposed to the outside environment during hauling.

How Can I Relocate My Luxury Car?

The safest way to shift a luxury car is the combination of the enclosed carrier and the door-to-door service. Your luxury car is loaded into a fully covered truck and transported to your location of choice.

What Is the Cost of Hauling a Car to Another State?

The cost of relocating a car to a different state depends on the transportation distance and type of car. Most auto carrier companies charge between $700 to $1000 to ship a motor vehicle to a different state.

When Is the Best Time to Move a Car?

Moving a car during the winter months is best if your schedule allows. During this time, fewer people move, so the demand for shifting slots will be low.
