There are many factors influencing these transportation costs. They include:
Your vehicle shipping quote depends on the distance of delivery, length of the route and its popularity. However, there are other major factors in the cost.
The weight and dimensions of the vehicle obviously affect the transportation rate. Long and oversized machines are liable for special taxes. If they are unable to pass bridges and tunnels, an alternate route is selected and there may be requirements for permits and escort vehicles. Length is extremely important in the shipping cost calculation. Longer vehicles are usually charged as much as 1.5 times more than shorter ones.
Some common vehicle types specified on the online form are:
Military and SUVs without lights on top are more favorably priced than those with. Motorcycles are often shipped in enclosed rather than open trailers. These cost factors are to be considered before receiving an online quote.
Trailer type is one of the most basic factors in the price for shipping a vehicle. For secure transportation of standard, heavy, or oversized cars and various other machines, many different trailers are used, such as:
Additionally, condition matters – a vehicle can be operable or not. Antique, luxury, and other unique vehicles are handled especially carefully, while standard loads require only routine service and basic insurance coverage. All details about the condition and special handling requirements are essential for an accurate shipping quote, so be sure to communicate this information with your MoveWheels agent.
Carriers have very dissimilar pricing policies and customer approaches. When negotiations begin with these shipping companies, many factors come into play. For example, the rates are often higher during holidays and weekends. Winter delivery is usually cheaper than summer because demand is lessened. However, there are exceptions for some popular routes like NY to CA or FL because so many people like to head south for winter vacations. Driving and hazardous conditions are always considered (storms, snowfalls, torrential rains, and various construction-related delays and detours). Additionally, taxes and tolls for highways.
Our experienced shipping agents are very familiar with all the transporting rate factors. Every day they negotiate with both large and small carriers, getting a substantial discount for customers. Because of our volume business, your final rate with Movewheels cannot be higher than dealing with several potential drivers or companies yourself. They also know the most skillful drivers, so they can best avoid any frauds or vehicle damages. Most drivers are paid by cash on delivery (COD) only after the customer confirms their vehicle has been received safely, but it is possible to use credit card or PayPal with a commission fee. All costs in your final shipping rate will be fair, transparent and affordable.
