How To Ship An Auto From Texas to Pennsylvania
Step One:
Gather all the important information about your vehicle and shipping requirements, such as the make, model, and year of the auto being shipped, as well as the pick-up and destination locations. Then fill out the form on this page or give us a call at 1-800-590-6492 to get up to 10 quotes from our auto transport partners. Choose the most affordable price and contact the transportation business by phone or email.
Step Two: Be sure to work closely with your vehicle transport expert to organize shipping, settle logistics, and make the initial payment whenever you're ready once you've chosen one of our quotes. Payments can be customized to match your individual needs.
Make sure to schedule your automobile pick-up and delivery ahead of time. Automobiles are frequently transported in multi-vehicle carriers, which may require additional days if the driver must drop off other vehicles along the road. Your shipping expert will be able to smooth out the details so that you can meet your delivery deadlines.
If your car has been altered in any manner, please let the carrier or broker know. Custom wheels, tires, rims, spoilers, and other additions, as well as raising or lowering the automobile, may increase the vehicle's length, width, height, and/or weight, impacting the cost of transportation. If you have an antique car or a special care vehicle, we can offer enclosed shipping and a number of other options for specialist vehicle transport, including door-to-door service.

Step Three: Prepare your auto by cleaning out all of your personal belongings before shipping, as you don't want to send it with any household or personal objects in it. Because the insurance that covers your vehicle while it is being transported does not cover personal goods inside the vehicle, this is for your safety. Furthermore, the additional weight could raise the cost of shipping the vehicle. The car should only have around a quarter tank of gas and try to leave one or two windows slightly open.
The driver who picks up the car will inspect it and make a note of any dents, scratches, or dings. Ensure that the vehicle is clean enough for you and the driver to see any potential damage. When shipping, loading, or unloading, disconnect or remove any toll pass or anti-theft devices that could pose problems for the driver.
Step Four: You must be available for vehicle pickup and delivery. Plan on being on-site to hand over your automobile to the driver and accept it when it arrives. If this isn't possible, you can nominate someone else, but Ship Your Car Now will need both their and your details. The person taking delivery of the car must pass the delivery inspection and be able to pay any remaining debt (if there is an outstanding balance).

6 Factors That Impact Texas to Pennsylvania Auto Transport Rates
One: Weight and size of your vehicle. 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.
Two: Time of Year. Like many other businesses, auto shipping has its high and low seasons. In the high season, auto transport is in demand, while low season demand is significantly lower. It stands to reason; that higher demand means higher shipping costs. Summer is the high demand time of year and winter is the low demand time. Snowbirds leaving the cold weather in the fall and returning in the springtime can also have an impact on demand for the southern routes. Auto transport during the winter months is usually less expensive, but rates can increase during the holidays.
Three: Pickup and Delivery Dates. Pickup and delivery schedule concerns are second behind cost for most folks shipping a vehicle. Typically, the most expedited auto shipping service will cost more than a standard auto transport service. This is because a quick pick-up and delivery require fast yet proper route planning, which ultimately will cost you more. However, If you’re very flexible with your pickup and delivery dates, it allows the carriers to organize the delivery according to the most efficient route planning.
Four: Auto Transport Service Options. There are numerous options available for shipping your auto. The most popular choices are open vs enclosed, guaranteed pick up, and top loading. For open shipping, your car will be loaded onto an open-air trailer when it is shipped. Your car is exposed to the elements and debris from the road, but the cost is nearly always the best price available. For enclosed shipping, your car will be transported in an enclosed trailer during shipping, keeping it safe from the elements and potential road hazards. The cost of enclosed shipping is almost always a lot more expensive. Guaranteed pick up means that the carrier will show up to pick up your car at the designated time that you have selected for collection. The cost of this choice is typically higher as well. The final option is top loading, which involves loading your automobile on the top level of the open-air car transporter. With this choice, there is a little more defense against road debris and the possible issue of fluid leakage from upper deck vehicles onto lower deck vehicles. This choice is normally more expensive as well.

Five: Vehicle Condition. Whether an automobile can be driven or not determines its condition. When it comes to loading and unloading, an inoperable car will need extra equipment. As a result, the cost of shipping will increase for the auto transport company. Failure to notify the broker/carrier that the vehicle is inoperable at the time of booking may result in your car not being picked up, as not all trailers have the extra equipment to handle inoperable vehicles.
Six: Distance and Location. These are two of the most important factors in auto transport fees. It stands to reason, that if you are shipping your car across country, it will be a lot more expensive than shipping your car from Atlanta to Miami. Your pick up and drop off locations are other important factors. If your pick up and/or drop off locations are in the middle of nowhere, you can expect the rate to be higher. Unless the middle of nowhere is located near a major interstate highway. The same applies to pick up and drop off locations that are in highly congested areas such as downtown New York City. Sometimes working with the broker or carrier to determine a location that is easier for the driver to access can help reduce the cost of shipping.

The Dos and Don'ts For Texas Auto Shipping
DO: Obtain a transport rate before opting to drive your auto a long distance. Auto transportation is frequently less costly than you would anticipate, and it's much more convenient than planning a car trip.
DO: Create a plan in advance. The time it takes to pick up your car could take up to five days, and the time it takes to move it will be dictated by the distance between the pickup and destination locations. If you need the car sent urgently, go with expedited shipping.
DO: Think about how you're going to pay for your transport service. There are a variety of payment methods available, including cash, credit card, PayPal, and others, however, payment with cash can result in a significant discount.
DO: Ensure to provide as much information as possible regarding your vehicle's condition. Let the transport company know if there's a trick to starting it or if the parking brake isn't working so they can best deal with your car's idiosyncrasies. Shipping inoperable autos will be more expensive due to the way they must be loaded and unloaded.
DON’T: Don't forget to remove from the car with any personal belongings. While auto shipping insurance may cover any losses or accidents, the more things you keep in the car, the heavier it will be overall. The more goods you have in your car, the more it will cost to ship it - so get rid of them! Household objects are likewise prohibited from being transported by truck, according to DOT regulations.

DON’T: Attempting to ship anything unlawful in the car is not a good idea. Cars and trucks will be examined at state crossings, and things such as firearms, animals, and narcotics will be restricted, in addition to the prohibition on household items.
DON’T: Don't forget to complete, sign and save the Bill of Lading (BOL). This is a pre-shipment and post-delivery auto transport inspection form. Before releasing your auto, you and the driver will need to complete and sign the BOL. You will use this form to verify no damage occurred to your auto during shipment.
DON’T: Don't make the mistake of thinking that the cheapest car shipping company is the best. In some instances, you will need to acquire transport insurance separately; before making a decision, get the total fee (including insurance costs) in writing for moving your car or truck.
Four Things You Need to Know About Completing A Bill of Lading
Number One: The pickup and delivery locations are the first things to check or complete on the Bill of Lading (BOL). Also, make sure the information on your vehicle is correct. Make, model, and year, the VIN, license plate number, and color must be included on the BOL. Speak with the driver if any of this information is inaccurate. Also, it’s not a bad idea to have your vehicle’s current mileage from the odometer documented on the BOL.
Number Two: You must accurately complete the Bill of Lading (BOL). Prior to turning over your vehicle to the driver, both the driver and you will note any preexisting damage to your auto on the BOL. Preexisting damage includes but is not limited to scratches, dents, cracked or broken windshields, etc... You must do a vehicle inspection at pickup and delivery. On occasions, the driver will give you two separate BOLS. Other times, you’ll have to use the same one. Either way, you must fill it out twice.

Number Three: The BOL is the primary form used to document the state of your vehicle prior to transport. It isn't, however, the sole option. Another approach is to snap photographs of your vehicle and email (with a copy of the BOL) them to both the broker and the carrier. It's difficult for a driver to contest a cracked windshield at delivery when you have photos without the crack at pickup. The email should be sent as soon as your vehicle is picked up.
Number Four: Understanding and reviewing the shipping terms and conditions is the last, but equally crucial, section of the BOL. It's critical to go over the BOL completely, especially if the cargo was booked through a third party or broker. The terms and conditions for the broker and the actual transport firm shipping your vehicle are very certainly different. Check the payment method on the BOL to be sure it's ok with you. If you have any questions, you should immediately contact the driver or your broker.
