Why there is no single rate
Vehicle shipping is a market. The price depends on your shipment and on how many trucks need loads on that route at that time.
The main factors
These details make the most difference:
- Distance and how popular the route is
- Vehicle size, weight and modifications
- Whether the vehicle runs
- Open or enclosed transport
- Season and demand
- How flexible your pickup date is
Ways to keep costs down
Flexible dates help most of all. Meeting a truck near a major highway can also help if you live somewhere remote.
Be careful with very low quotes
A price far below the others may not attract a carrier. Ask what is included, when you pay, and what happens if no truck accepts the job.
