Today, you can have your car shipped to your new home, when you are relocating to a far-off destination. These services have become invaluable in providing people with a stress-free way of transporting their vehicles, in a safe and secure manner, to their new homes. One of the important factors to consider is the car shipping quotes that you will receive from prospective transporters. You need to understand the elements that determine the cost of shipping your car, which will be included in the quote.

Destination

The first item to be considered is the distance over which the vehicle will be transported. When transport companies are drawing up car shipping quotes, they look for the shortest possible distance of shipping your car. Through the use of transport networks, they come up with the best way, to efficiently transport your vehicle to your new home. This will then determine the cost of the distance aspect of the whole task. If the delivery location is a residential area, it might affect the cost due to the difficulty of offloading.

Type of Car Carrier

The second item that the transporters will consider is the type of carrier that you want. You can have the car shipped in an enclosed or open truck. The cost of using an enclosed carrier will be slightly higher than that of using an open one. The transporters will also consider whether you are delivering your vehicle to their depot, or if they have to collect it from your door.

Date of Shipment

Finally, the car carriers will look at the shipping date that you may require. If you want the vehicle to be shipped in a time shorter than the standard time, you will have to pay more. It is advisable that you use a company that will deliver your car within a reasonable time window. The carriers usually group the vehicles according to the destinations. Your vehicle will be put in a group with vehicles which have to be delivered along the same route to your desired destination. The transporter will give you an estimated time of delivery, based on how many drop-offs will be done before they finally get to deliver your vehicle.

Misc. Factors

Other items that can influence car shipping quotes are: fuel prices, vehicle weight (extra items added inside vehicle), and special customer requests.

When selecting a car carrier, you should get car shipping quotes from several carriers, and look through the items covered in the quote. With this information, you will be equipped to make an informed decision on the carrier to hire. However, you should not compromise the quality of the services rendered just to make a saving on the cost of shipping you vehicle. Ensure that the services offered will guarantee the safe and secure delivery of your vehicle.
