Type of auto services:
While open car transport provides a cost-effective solution, for those with vintage, classic, sports, antique, custom, or luxury ones, enclosed carrier might be more suitable. The service comes at a higher price, but it offers additional protection for your vehicle. The condition of the vehicle matters too: costs are lower for operable vehicles compared to inoperable ones, as the latter require specialist equipment for loading and unloading, which adds to the expense.
The locations for pick-up and delivery also matter:
Moving vehicles between major cities tends to be cheaper than shipping to and from more remote locations. The time of year plays a role: shipping a vehicle is usually cheaper during the summer, with costs rising during the winter due to dangerous road conditions.
