Getting an accurate car shipping quote is the first step toward a smooth and stress-free vehicle transport experience. Since every shipment is different, professional auto transport companies calculate rates based on several important details that affect cost and logistics. Factors such as your vehicle’s make, model, and size, its current condition (including any custom modifications), the total transport distance, and the type of carrier you choose—open or enclosed—all play a major role in determining your price.
The time of year you schedule your shipment can also influence your car shipping quote. During peak seasons, such as summer or right before holidays, demand for vehicle transport increases, which can slightly raise market rates. On the other hand, booking early or being flexible with your pickup dates can help you secure a lower rate.
When comparing prices for the transport of cars, it’s essential to look beyond just the base cost. Open carriers are the most common and budget-friendly option, ideal for everyday vehicles, while enclosed carriers provide an added layer of protection for luxury, exotic, or classic cars. Both methods are fully insured and handled by professional auto transporters who ensure your vehicle arrives safely and on time.
