Auto transport pricing depends on several key factors. Here's what affects your quote:
Longer routes have a lower per-mile rate, but higher total cost. A coast-to-coast shipment typically costs more than a regional move.
Larger and heavier vehicles — SUVs, trucks, vans — take up more space on the trailer and cost more to ship than compact sedans.
Open transport is the most affordable option. Enclosed transport costs 30–50% more but provides premium protection.
Peak shipping months (summer, January snowbird season) see higher prices. Booking during off-peak months can save you money.
Non-running vehicles require special equipment for loading, which adds to the cost.
Major metro areas have more carrier availability and lower rates. Rural or remote locations may require additional fees.
