Dependent Factors for Car Shipping Cost

Distance

Distance is the primary factor that affects shipping costs the most. Mileage from pickup to delivery points has a direct relationship with pricing. Long routes may be costlier in general but lower costs per mile are generally offered. To explain, a 300-mile trip will cost approximately $1.85 per mile whereas 2,000 miles will be around $0.59. If it is about shipping to international destinations, it will be different because they involve logistics and regulatory processes.

Route

The distance planned for taking the car is another cause of the car shipping price increase or decrease. Things such as road conditions, traffic, bad weather and road construction along the path can increase costs. Transporting through urbanized areas could cost more because of possible delays, whereas smoother roads could facilitate cheaper transport.

Shipping date

The date of car shipment matters a lot since it is a key factor in determining cost. If you book in advance, you will get lower prices so you better be flexible with your dates for pickup and delivery to decrease even more. Furthermore, the season affects prices; for example, due to high demand in the winter when a lot of customers ship cars to the southern states, prices might go up then.

Vehicle make and model

Your car's features affect the shipping cost. If it's a larger or taller vehicle, it will take more space and hence may need adjustments that increase the price. For example, if there are custom modifications, such as larger wheels or roof racks, costs may go even higher because of required additional handling.
