Texas Auto Transport Shipping Rates

Texas Auto Transport Rate Factors

Texas Auto Transport Shipping Options. There are many possibilities for shipping cars in Texas. The most popular choices are top loading, guaranteed pick up, and open vs. enclosed options. Top loading a vehicle refers to loading a vehicle on the top level of an open-air car transporter. With this choice, there is a little more protection against road debris and the possible issue of fluid leakage from upper deck vehicles onto lower deck vehicles. This choice is typically more expensive as well. The purpose behind guaranteed pick up is that the carrier will come up to pick up your car at the time you've specified in the contract. Usually, this alternative is more expensive. For “open” shipping. Your car is loaded on an open-air trailer when it is shipped. The cost is nearly always less expensive, but your car is vulnerable to weather and road debris. For enclosed shipping, your car will be transported in an enclosed trailer with complete weather and road debris protection. Texas auto transport that is enclosed always costs much more.

Helpful Money Saving Tip: Choose the shipping option that best fits the value of your car or truck.

Vehicle Condition. A car’s condition is determined by whether it can be driven or not. The loading and unloading of an inoperable car will require additional equipment. The car transport company will therefore charge you more for shipping as a result. Since not all trailers have the appropriate equipment to handle inoperable vehicles, it is possible that your car won't be picked up if the broker or carrier is not informed that the vehicle is inoperable at the time of booking.

Helpful Money Saving Tip: To avoid paying additional inoperable auto shipping fees, make sure your car is in good working order prior to pickup.

Distance and Location. Shipping distance and pickup/dropoff locations two of the key factors of auto transport costs. It makes sense that the cost of transporting your car across the country will be far more than the cost of sending it from Dallas to El Paso. The other factors are the locations your vehicle will be picked up and dropped off. You should anticipate a higher fee if your pick-up and/or drop-off points are out in the middle of nowhere. Unless the middle of nowhere is close to a major interstate. The same holds true for pick-up and drop-off points that are in urban areas, like downtown Philadelphia. Sometimes finding a location that is more convenient for the driver to get to with the broker or carrier can assist lower the cost of shipment.

Helpful Money Saving Tip: Ask the Texas auto transport company if you can save money by arranging pickup and dropoff locations that save the driver time and gas when you first get in touch with them.

Time of Year. Auto shipping experiences peak and low seasons, much like many other industries. Auto shipping is popular at peak times, but less so during off-peak times. It makes sense that increasing demand would result in higher shipping costs. Winter is a season of low demand, whereas summer is the period of increased demand. The demand for the southern routes may also be influenced by snowbirds who leave the chilly weather in the fall and return in the spring. The cost of auto shipping is often lower in the winter, although it might go higher around the holidays.

Helpful Money Saving Tip: If possible ship your car or truck in the winter, when demand for auto transport and fees are lower.

Weight and Size.Vehicles come in a wide range of sizes, weights, and forms, all of which have an impact on the cost of transporting a vehicle. More space is necessary for larger vehicles. Similarly, because carrier trucks have weight constraints, a heavier car will cost you more. Extra-large automobiles, both in terms of size and weight, necessitate unique shipping arrangements, which add to the overall cost of transporting a vehicle. Also please remember that if your vehicle has been modified, it will require special handling and shipping. This can affect how much it will cost to ship the car. Lifting or lowering a car can change its height, therefore the car shipping company will need to adjust the transport trailer levels to take your non-standard vehicle height into account.

Helpful Money Saving Tip: If you can, remove any changes you’ve made to the vehicle such as oversized antennas, extended side mirrors, etc. to avoid any additional fees.

Generally speaking, the fastest vehicle shipping service will be more expensive than a regular auto transport service. This is due to the fact that a prompt pick-up and delivery require a quick yet accurate route planning, which will eventually cost you more. The carriers can arrange the delivery in accordance with the most effective route planning, nevertheless, if you're very flexible with your pickup and delivery dates.

Helpful Money Saving Tip: Sometimes you can save money by being flexible with both pickup and dropout dates.
