Factors That Affect Shipping Cost

Several factors influence the final shipping price.

Distance

Vehicle Type

Larger vehicles take up more trailer space and weigh more. Trucks, SUVs, and oversized vehicles usually cost more to transport than compact cars.

Seasonal Demand

Shipping demand changes throughout the year. Snowbird season, holidays, and summer moving months typically increase transport prices.

Expedited Shipping

If you need faster pickup or guaranteed delivery dates, expedited services may cost extra.
