What Affects Your Shipping Cost?
Understanding the key factors that determine your car transport price.
Distance
Longer routes cost more total but less per mile. Cross-country shipments average $0.50-$1.00/mile while shorter routes can be $1.00-$2.00/mile.
Vehicle Size & Type
Larger, heavier vehicles like SUVs and trucks take up more carrier space and add weight, increasing the shipping cost.
Transport Type
Open transport is the most affordable option. Enclosed transport provides extra protection for luxury or classic vehicles at a premium.
Pickup & Delivery Location
Major metro areas have more carrier availability and lower costs. Rural or remote locations may require additional fees for detours.
Season & Demand
Snowbird season (Oct-Feb) and summer months see higher demand on popular routes, which can increase prices 10-20%.
Vehicle Condition
Non-running vehicles require a winch or forklift for loading, adding a flat fee to the transport cost.
