Factors affecting the cost of car delivery
Distance
Distance is the main factor used in calculating the cost of car delivery. If the delivery is carried out over a long distance, then of course it will be more expensive than for short distances, but of course the cost of a mile for long distances is cheaper than for small ones. We will select for you the best offer for the delivery of your car. It is important to note that the prices for international road transport may differ from the prices for land vehicles.
Route
The route does not include the distance to be covered, but which highways and other roads will be traversed to transport your car. . Routes in densely populated areas can lead to increased traffic jams, which can affect the delivery time and its cost.
You also need to take into account other factors during the route:
- Road conditions
- Unfavorable weather
- Road construction
Departure date
The date of dispatch plays a huge role and affects the final cost of delivery. It is best to book the delivery of your car as early as possible. As soon as you find out that you will need to send your car, contact us and we will find a favorable offer for you.
Make and model of your car
When calculating the cost of trucking, we request the exact technical characteristics of the vehicle, since the truck driver must know how much space is required to securely fix your car.. Longer and taller cars require additional transportation devices, which may slightly increase the cost of delivering the car. Car modifications, such as larger tires and roof racks, can also increase the cost.
Type of transport during transportation
Most people choose the open type of transport, because it is the cheapest way to transport your car. If additional protection is required, we recommend using closed-type transportation services. It will protect your car from bad weather and debris. Closed type transport can increase the cost of car delivery, but it’s worth it to be calm when transporting luxury or retro cars.
The condition of your transport
If your car is on the move, then your delivery will be more profitable. . If your car is inoperable, but retains the ability to roll, steer and brake, a winch and other devices will be required to load it onto a carrier trailer, which will increase the cost of transportation.
Car Details
Some characteristics of your car may affect the cost of delivery, for example:
Height, length, weight
For taller, elongated and heavier vehicles, a specific trailer or add-ons may be required to provide the necessary length and/or additional weight. Certain adaptations may also be required.
Ground clearance
Ground clearance is the distance between the lower part of the body and the road.. The low ground clearance of the car requires special attention and adaptations.. If the ground clearance is four inches or less, the vehicle must be transported in a closed trailer with lifting gates — there are none in open trailers.
Location
In large cities, there are usually many points or car carriers that can fulfill your order, which of course reduces the cost of delivery. For residents of small towns, we certainly strive to find the best offer. If you live far from a major highway, you can choose to meet the driver at the designated place so that the delivery cost can be lower.
Seasonality
The cost of car delivery varies greatly depending on the time of year. For example, trucking services to warmer states or in the season of snowbirds will be higher than out of season. But you can be sure that we will choose the best option for you for the cost of delivery, regardless of the season or distance.
Motor transport insurance
Insurance during transportation is extremely necessary and gives you more confidence and peace of mind that everything will be fine with your car. Many transport carriers do not offer additional cargo insurance, since it is not mandatory by law.
To determine the cost of insurance, you need to answer the following questions:
What type of damage
is covered? Does the insurance cover the entire car or only certain parts of it?
Is there a franchise?
What is the coverage limit?
Are special products or accessories covered?
Is there an opportunity to purchase additional coverage?
The services we provide
Door-to-door delivery
We will pick up your vehicle from your home and deliver it to your destination. But it should be borne in mind that not everywhere there is an opportunity to drive up. Therefore, the place of loading and unloading must be agreed with the driver.
Delivery by open type of transport
Open type of transportation is the most economical way to transport your car. With open type delivery, you can save up to 35% of your money. We do not recommend the open type of delivery for luxury cars or retro cars.
Delivery by closed type of transport
Delivery of this type will be a little more expensive, due to the fact that your car will be completely protected by a closed body type. That will provide protection from bad weather, road debris. This is a great option for transporting retro or luxury cars. Remember that the cost of delivery in closed form will be slightly higher.
