What Is Involved in Vehicle Shipping?

Shipping a car is not too different from shipping household items, only that a vehicle is massive and delicate. Nevertheless, some companies specialize in providing auto shipping services across the country and globally. Most auto shipping companies use trailer trucks, while more established ones offer ocean, train, and air freight.

The standard transport option for most customers is the open carrier truck. For this transport option, your automobile is shipped on a fully exposed carrier truck. It is the cheapest and the most available transport option.

The alternative to open-air transport is enclosed transport. Your vehicle is shipped on a fully covered carrier truck for this transport option. Not many customers prefer this transport option because of its enormous cost.

The safety measures and insurance cover provided by the shipping company ensure that your car arrives at the destination in good shape. For additional safety, choose the enclosed transport over the open-air carrier option.

How Much Does It Cost

As expected, it is expensive to ship a car compared to other items. But before you dig into your bank account to pay the quoted amount, know what you can do to cut down the shipping cost. While the shipping cost can vary from company to company, you should expect to pay anything from $0.58 per mile to $2 per mile, depending on the auto shipping method, car type, transportation distance, and specific needs.

The most common factors that influence the shipping cost include;

• Transportation distance
• Type, weight, and size of the car
• Auto shipping method

The majority of companies in the US have an online quote calculator that helps customers get an estimate of the shipping cost within seconds. However, the information you provide to the quote form should be accurate to avoid a substantial change in the shipping cost.

Auto Shipping Option

You can choose to ship your car using an open-air or an enclosed carrier. An open carrier is a flatbed truck with no walls, nor is it covered at the top. Despite being fully open, an open-air carrier is safe and is designed to hold the shipment in place throughout the shipping process. It is cheaper and more available compared to enclosed transport. This is why close to 90% of customers in the US prefer open-air carriers.

The enclosed transport option is applicable when shipping expensive or delicate automobiles. It offers better protection, especially from harsh weather conditions, road debris, and prying eyes. In most cases, it costs up to 60% more to ship a car with an enclosed carrier than with an open-air carrier. Since not many people prefer shipping with enclosed transport, getting the right number of vehicles moving in the same direction could take longer.

Generally, the auto shipping option you choose for your car depends on the type of car, budget, and timelines.

Type, Weight, And Condition of The Car

The type, weight, and condition of the car you want to be moved also affect the shipping cost. SUVs and pickup trucks cost more to transport than sedans. On average, you will spend $100 to $200 less to ship a sedan than an SUV.

Also, non-running cars cost more to transport than running cars because they require special equipment during loading and unloading.

Delivery Options

You can customize the delivery to suit your needs. The terminal-to-terminal service is a good option if you have time to pick up and drop off your vehicle at a designated location.

If you want your car to be picked up at your home, office, or other location and delivered to your place of choice, choose the door-to-door service. This option is more convenient and saves you time. Your car will not be stored in the terminus, so you will not have to worry about its security.

Transportation Distance

Most transporters will require you to provide your car’s location and destination when filling out the quote form. Ordinarily, the shipping rate per mile is lower for short distances than for long distances. But the ultimate shipping cost is higher for longer distances than for shorter distances.

Most shippers in the US charge a rate of between $0.58 and $2 per mile.
