How Much Does Car Shipping Cost?
What’s the price? How much will the transport cost? How much money do I need to set aside for shipping?
Even though this is probably your main concern during the move, there is no simple answer. Car shipping doesn’t exactly have a fixed price for each specific situation. Certain factors can affect your final bill. Some of them are:
The size and weight
Our trailers can carry a limited number of cars with a limited amount of weight. The heavier the car, the more expensive the shipping will be.
The make and model
Luxury or classic cars require more protection, which means they cost more to move.
The time of the year
Demand is highest in the summer, so the prices tend to be higher between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
The vehicle length
Aside from the make and model, the length of the vehicle can also affect the price. An average sedan is about 189 inches long, so any vehicle with less than 189 inches is more desirable for transport.
The distance traveled
Labor costs, tolls and fuel charges can increase the price of auto transport. The more distance your car needs to travel, the more expensive your shipping service will be.
The method used
Getting an open-air or an enclosed carrier can also affect the price of the move
Transportation for Every Budget
OPEN AUTO TRANSPORTATION
Open transport for vehicles is the industry standard. You have seen these car carriers on the road countless times, moving multiple cars. Whether you're moving a new, used, or junk car; open transport is the cheapest way to ship a car. Roughly 90% of car transport services operate an open trailer, so choosing this service means you will have access to the best coverage, and the best rates. Open transport is most suitable for vehicles that have a ground clearance of at least 4 inches.
ENCLOSED AUTO TRANSPORTATION
This means your vehicle will be shipped inside an enclosed trailer as opposed to on an open trailer. The enclosed trailers that we use have tops and sides that are completely covered giving your car total protection from the weather, dust, rocks, bugs and any possible road debris damage.
FAQ About Auto Transport and Shipping
When you are looking to hire an auto transport company, you will have many questions. To help you out, here is a list of frequently asked questions and answers that might offer some clarity.
How Long Does It Take to Ship a Vehicle?
The answer here will depend on the distance. Nevertheless, your car will arrive at the new location within 1 to 7 days. However, road, bad weather, and traffic conditions can prolong the estimated delivery time.
Does Stars&Stripes Transportation LLC Offer Door to Door Shipping Service?
Besides open and enclosed trailers, we offer you door-to-door auto transport because we want to make this shipping as stress-free as possible for you. This means that our crew will show up at your doors and deliver your machine to the doormat at the new location. However, we also offer terminal-to-terminal car shipping for those who would like to pick up their vehicles from our stations.
How Many Days in Advance Do You Need to Book a Shipping Service?
We suggest contacting us anywhere from two days to two weeks in advance. This will give our team enough time to pick up your vehicle and ensure that you get the best possible quote. However, no matter when you give us a call, we will make sure to provide you the best services possible.
Does Someone Have to Be Present for a Pick-up and Vehicle Delivery?
If you opt for a door-to-door option, someone must be present at both pick-up and delivery to accept the vehicle. They need to provide a spare set of keys and sign the inspection report. In case that you are not available, have a friend or relative sign on your behalf.
What Kind of Carriers Does Stars&Stripes Transport LLC Offer?
Stars&Stripes Transportation LLC prides itself on offering a variety of services to its customers, that’s why we can provide you with open and enclosed auto transport options. Open trailers are the most common and the cheapest way to ship the vehicle, while enclosed ones are used to transport rare and luxury machines. If you don’t know which one to use, give us a call, and we will help you make an educated decision.
How Should You Prepare Your Car for Shipping?
Be it within a state or cross-country, your vehicle should be thoroughly prepared for transportation. There are a few things before your vehicle is picked up, like check it for damage and wash it.
