How Much Does It Really Cost To Ship a Car?

If you’ve never relied on a car shipping company to move your vehicle, then it may seem like the process can be overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be!  When you know the basics of shipping, finding an affordable shipping company becomes manageable and simple. Read on to learn how to find a company that fits within your budget.

You Get What You Pay For

Just like any service you’re putting a valuable personal belonging in the hands of, the same rule applies: you get what you pay for. As you receive bids from different carriers (and we recommend you get a handful of bids, not just one), you’ll receive some low quotes.

If one company’s bid is much lower than the average, ask yourself: what are they skimping on? Is it service? Is it qualified drivers to take my vehicle to and from their location? Are they appropriately licensed and qualified to care for my vehicle? A lower price may indicate that they’re not including a fundamental aspect of what you need. Here’s a hint: do your research. Your price will include a broker’s fee and a carrier’s fee.

Some quotes may ask you what kind of transport you want (open or closed), while others will simply quote you on the ‘cheaper’ option, and add in extra expedited fees later. At Ship A Car Direct, we screen all carriers before we give you a quote—so you know you’re only getting the most qualified carrier for your shipping needs.
