Factors That Influence Your Shipping Quote

Once you provide your details, CarXnow’s calculator will give you an estimated shipping price. Several factors impact the final cost:

1. Time of Year

The cost of shipping a vehicle varies throughout the year. Prices are generally higher in summer and moving seasons, but they drop in fall and winter, except during the holidays.

2. Shipping Locations

Where you’re shipping to and from matters. For instance, if you’re moving to warm states like Florida or Arizona, transport to these areas in the winter will be pricier due to higher demand.

3. Vehicle Size and Features

The size, weight, and features of your vehicle, like exterior accessories (wheelchair lifts, ramps), can also affect the cost. Specialty vehicles such as luxury cars, RVs, motorcycles, or oversized vehicles may need special transport trailers, which can increase the price.

4. Vehicle Condition

Vehicles that are not in running condition or cannot drive, steer, or brake require extra equipment, like a winch, to load and unload. This additional labor and equipment will increase your shipment’s cost.

5. Your Schedule

If you need your vehicle picked up or delivered quickly, you might have to pay more. Expedited shipping and guaranteed pickup dates often come with higher costs.
