FACTORS THAT MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON PRICE
FOR SHIPPING THE CAR CROSS COUNTRY

As well when you move your house belongings regardless if its local or long distance prices in some cases may be different. Here are the factors that may affect the price when it comes to shipping car across the country:

SHIPPING DISTANCE BETWEEN PICK UP
AND DELIVERY LOCATIONS

Depending on the distance between your pick up and delivery locations, the price for shipping car cross country may vary. For the reference you are looking at the cost of $1 per mile if you are shipping the car within 500 mile radius, however if distance between the locations is higher 500-1000 miles you are looking at approximately $0.75 per mile. This may sound absurd, but shipping a car across the country may be cheaper than relocating your vehicle within a smaller distance. This is because truckers will schedule more clients within the same pickup and delivery window.

TYPE OF THE VEHICLE THAT NEEDS TO BE SHIPPED CROSS COUNTRY

Another important factor that needs to be considered when you decide to ship a car cross country is the size and type of your vehicle. Smaller cars like regular hatchbacks will cost less than SUV’s for example for the simple reason - smaller car will take less space on the trailer and drivers will be able to load more vehicles on the same trailer. In case you have a larger SUV or pickup truck you may expect higher cost because your car will take more space, and basically you are renting / paying space on the trailer itself.

TYPE OF SERVICE THAT IS REQUIRED FOR SHIPPING CAR CROSS COUNTRY

Depending on your moving needs and type of the vehicle that is shipped cross country price may significantly vary. If you need to transport the car urgently you may expect premium cost of service, also type of the vehicle is important as well. If you own a modified vehicle or high end vehicle such as a Lamborghini or Ferrari that requires extra care, the price of shipping a car cross country will be higher for sure.

DELIVERY TIME
FLEXIBILITY

When it comes to shipping car cross country there is a certain delivery window when the car gets delivered from point A to point B. In case you need your vehicle at the earliest possible time you may have to find a company that does expedited shipment and that will increase the cost of the shipping as well. On the other hand if it's planned for the car to arrive at the destination before you, be advised that you will have to add the cost of storing your vehicle if you don’t have anyone to receive the vehicle on your behalf.

PERIOD OF THE YEAR WHEN YOU NEED TO SHIP YOUR CAR CROSS COUNTRY

When you decide to ship a car cross country, consider timing may affect the cost of the shipping as well. If there is flexibility in your schedule and you don’t need your car right away you may save some money by waiting for the right time so prices may go down. Bear in mind that shipping car cross country may be more expensive during October, November, April and May.

In case you are flexible try to avoid these months, but if you need to relocate the vehicle during this time period you may expect higher cost. In contrast to the mentioned months, for example February may be the least expensive month to ship car cross country.

Also prices are affordable in September and March as well since there are no holidays, weather is good and way more drivers will be on the road ready to ship car cross country.

RANKING OF
TRANSPORTATION COMPANY

You sure did your homework and called multiple companies to get a price quote for your upcoming shipping of the car cross country, and for sure you noticed that price varies from company to company. If you did your research diligently for sure you checked all the reviews and checked if the company is registered with BBB.

Higher ranked companies will have higher prices, but bear in mind that level of service that those companies offer is not comparable to the service that some cheaper companies offer. Remember sometimes less is more. Make sure to choose a company that will match your expectations and provide you with a premium level of the service even though it may cost more.

Safety of your vehicle is number one priority and that is why My Car Shipping LLC is aiming to provide the best quality of service and affordable price that match that level of service.

IS MY CAR INSURED
WHEN IT'S ON A TRAILER?

Auto shipping companies who do shipping cars across the country are obligated by the law of Department of Transportation (DOT) to have insurance for the cars that they transport, and that leads to the positive answer - yes your car is insured and the insurance will cover if any damages occur during the shipping of the car cross country.

Also the majority of the auto transport companies have as well cargo insurance, but be advised that in most cases insurance applies only on the vehicle itself. If you are shipping your car on an open trailer, insurance coverage is between $100 000 to $150 000 while insurance for the enclosed trailers varies from $250 000 up to $3 000 000.

THE MOST COMMON WAYS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR SHIPPING
CAR ACROSS COUNTRY

Nowadays there are various ways to transport the vehicles, however the most common one is to ship car cross country with the truck on a trailer. Shipping your car across the country has bever been easier with My Car Shipping LLC, it’s only up to you to decide what type of the trailer you want based on your needs. Open and enclosed trailers are the most common options that most of the transportation companies will offer you. Learn more about them in the following text, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

SHIPPING A CAR ACROSS COUNTRY ON
AN OPEN TRAILER

The larger your vehicle is, the more space it will take on a truck – and make less space for other vehicles, making it more expensive to ship. The heavier your vehicle is, the higher the fuel costs will be, again – making it more expensive to ship. Keep both of these factors in mind when looking for a car shipping quote.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

If you transported your vehicle on an open trailer make sure once when the car arrives to do the detailed inspection of the vehicle together with the truck driver and to wash your car right after. Only when the car is completely clean you’ll be able to notice if there is any damage or dents.

Open trailer car shipping is great chose if:

  • If you are looking for an affordable option and want to save the money. Open trailer is definitely the most cost effective option that you can choose to ship a car cross country because an open trailer can carry more vehicles at once that cuts the cost down substantially.
  • If you care about the environment you should definitely consider using an open trailer to ship car cross country. Open trailers, especially ones with multi levels can carry more than eight vehicles at once, they are much lighter than enclosed ones and use less fuel to ship multiple vehicles.
  • If you are looking for fast transport, an open trailer option is the perfect choice. Considering that open transportation is the most popular option to ship car cross country there are more companies that offer this kind of service, so you will be able to find a company that suits your needs much easier and in a timely manner even if you need expedited shipping.

SHIPPING CAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON AN ENCLOSED TRAILER

Enclosed transport considers shipping car across country in an enclosed trailer that's completely enclosed and protected on all sides. Since the
trailer is completely closed, the car will be better protected from any kind of damage due to road conditions, weather and possible oil leaking.

PROS OF SHIPPING CAR ACROSS COUNTRY ON ENCLOSED TRAILER:

  • Your car will be completely safe because the trailer is protected from all sides, so both road and weather conditions won’t have any impact on your car itself.
  • Enclosed trailers carry less vehicles at once so shipping car across the country will be much faster than on open trailers.
  • Possibility of expedited shipping car across country. Enclosed trailer option usually carries cars on a much smaller scale, the most common case is that an enclosed trailer will carry only one or two cars. This type of shipping car across country can be quicker than choosing a multi-level open trailer since that type of transport will be required to make multiple stops to make car drop-offs along the route to your vehicle's final destination.
  • Drivers of the enclosed trailers are way much experienced with dealing with high end vehicles. Since the enclosed trailers are primarily intended to carry high end vehicles the drivers themselves are way more experienced with handling those types of vehicles.

Cons of shipping car across country on enclosed trailer:

  • Using enclosed trailers to ship car cross country even though it is safer than open trailer transport, is also more expensive. Be advised that shipping a car across country on an enclosed trailer may cost double than on an open trailer. Due to carrying much less vehicles than an open one, enclosed trailers are less fuel efficient that significantly increases the cost of the shipping itself.
  • If you chose to ship a car cross country on an enclosed trailer shipping of your car can take longer than anticipated. Due to cost and less popularity most companies won’t be able to offer you an enclosed trailer, so if you choose to use an enclosed trailer make sure to start searching for the company at least a month ahead of time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How should I choose the right company to ship car cross country?

It is very important to do detailed research, call at least three companies and compare pricing, also after checking the pricing check online reviews and see previous experience that people had with the company itself.

Can I ship an inoperable car?

Yes, inoperable vehicles can be shipped as well, it is mandatory to bring that to attention when you call a transportation company because some of the companies don’t have the proper equipment to relocate inoperable vehicles. Also bear in mind that the cost for shipping inoperable cars cross country is usually higher than to ship operable vehicles because loading of the car requires special equipment and it is more time consuming than loading an operable car. My Car Shipping LLC will be able to assist you with shipping inoperable vehicles if it steer, brakes and rolls so feel free to contact us anytime.

What is door to door service?

Door to door service is the form of shipping car cross country when the company picks up and delivers your vehicle as close to your desired destination as possible. If it's possible our drivers will always aim to pick up and deliver your vehicle in front of your door, but sometimes that is not possible due to narrow streets, low branches, street access or regulations etc. In case we are not able to pick up or deliver your vehicle in front of your house our drivers will provide you with possible options in terms of locations where the car can be safely picked up or delivered. Sometimes that may be the closest parking lot or parking lot of the nearest supermarket.

Can I transport personal belongings in the vehicle?

Personal belongings can be shipped inside the vehicle when you ship car cross country, but there are few conditions that must be fulfilled:

  • You can transport up to 100 lbs of personal belongings, but that may increase the cost of shipping car cross country
  • Personal belongings can be shipped only in the trunk of the vehicle, in case that vehicle doesn’t have a truck your personal belongings can be placed on a back seat below the window level. In case of pick up trucks you can place your personal belongings in the back only if you have cover and if the items are secured with straps
  • Fragile, extremely valuable and flammable items cannot be transported in the vehicle due to safety reasons.
  • You cannot transport live animals or plants in the vehicle

Bear in mind that insurance covers only the vehicle itself but not the personal belongings placed in the vehicle. My Car Shipping LLC offers transporting 100 lbs of your personal belongings free of charge, so rest assured that we won’t charge you for a suitcase or few boxes that were left behind after your household move.

Can ship car across the country from a dealer or auction?

Yes we can do it, My Car Shipping LLC offers the service of relocating your vehicle from and to the dealership or an auction. If you ship a car cross country from the dealer or an auction you must provide us with the VIN number as well as the point of contact who will release or receive the vehicle on your behalf. VIN or Vehicle Identification Number is like a social security number just for cars and the VIN almost never changes and it is the most important number on your car, it is also on your title and your insurance card as well.

How much fuel is required to have in the gas tank while shipping car across the country?

It is common confusion that there is a certain amount of fuel that is required to have when you are shipping a car cross country. The reality is different, you can have as much fuel as you want but the mandatory is to have enough fuel just in case the driver needs to take it up or down the trailer during loading and unloading. The car won’t be much heavier and it won’t affect the price if your tank is full, but make sure not to leave it empty just in case.

What does the process of shipping a car across the country look like?

Once you make a decision and choose the company you will be provided with a certain pick up window (usually that is a three day period) meaning the car will be picked up on one of these days. One day prior to pick up the driver or dispatcher will give you a call and inform you in what time the car will be picked up.

On a day of the pickup driver will inform you what would be the exact location where the car will be picked up so you will meet him, do the vehicle inspection , sign the BOL and hand over the keys. Right after the pickup you will be provided with a delivery window when the driver expects that your car will be delivered. Do not be confused or scared, delivery windows are normal things, drivers have certain responsibilities and regulations that need to be followed when shipping a car across the country and cannot predict the exact date and time of delivery.

A day before your car will be delivered the driver or dispatcher will give you a call and the process will be the same as for the pickup, you will set up location for delivery, again do the vehicle inspection and finally sign the BOL. Be advised even if there is damage that occurred during shipping, you need to sign BOL, only signed BOL is a legal document that can be used for filing a complaint.

My Car Shipping LLC besides the pick up and delivery notifications will keep you updated during the whole process of shipping the car across the country so you will know at any moment where your car is and also when you can expect your car to be delivered.
