Understanding Auto Shipping Prices

You may have wondered how auto shipping quotes were calculated from an Auto Shipping Company. Distance is not the only factor that calculates the price, and there are many other factors to consider. By reading and understanding these many factors below that average into your shipping, you will know what adds to shipping cost and how you can save.

Distance and Route – The longer you travel the higher the price will be. From mileage to gas money, shipping a long distance is much more expensive than shipping to a short distance.

Vehicle Type and Size – Your vehicle make and model may add extra money to your shipping quote. With size and weight, if you have a small car vs. a large truck, you will be paying more for the truck. The truck not only takes up more space on the carrier which means it will carry fewer cars, but it also adds more weight which makes the price higher.
