The dimensions of the car to be shipped mean that it will either fit a single slot on the truck or that it will require several slots, raising the price. Moreover, a closed carrier, which costs more in itself, accommodates less vehicles; which means that transportation of a odd sized car in a closed carrier is even costlier.
Carriers are prohibited by law the overall weight they are allowed to carry at any one time. A reliable, law abiding trucking company will be forced to impose additional fees because they can carry fewer vehicles. Some cars are just plain built heavy and nothing can be done about that. But for your normal average-sized auto, weight may be reduced by removing all personal belongings and any custom add-ons before you ship it.
The date you ship your vehicle is subject to variables like the price of fuel, the weather conditions, and the competition. It is possible to get a cheaper quote by just changing the date of shipment.
For the most part, companies operate trucks which accommodate more than one car, serving more than one customer at a time. For this reason, and because customers book the services at different times, with individual specifications, it may either not be possible for a specific available truck to deliver your car as and when you require it, unless perhaps you change their priorities by paying more. In any case, requiring delivery on a specific date, rather within a more or less flexible time-frame, costs more.
If the company is very large, you may actually be able to get your car shipped alone on one truck, which as mentioned above, will cost you. However, you will get the advantage of a safer, speedier delivery and on the required date. If you are not pressed for time, though, make arrangement to ship your car on a multi-vehicle carrier, which will save you money.
Overseas shipping is highly likely to be more expensive than domestic. Different countries have different rules and regulations. Add to that the fact that more than one method of shipment may be required, such as air, water, rail or possibly a combination of these. This requires more of a concern for safety and insurance.
This process may seem frightening to you considering all the ramifications and details involved, but bear in mind, that auto shipping is now a large global enterprise and growing. The amount of detail and services offered for the client's consideration is testimony to the fact they are in the business to endure and offering more is to your advantage as well as theirs. Their proliferation also gives the customer the capability to make comparisons among the companies and select the one most suitable to their needs.
Competition among these burgeoning enterprises may drive them to be more flexible with their pricing, though this is less true of foreign companies than domestic. Most companies will offer free quotes so don't limit yourself to just the gargantuans of the industry. The quotes for similar services among the contenders may vary also by the specific states or borders required. Try the young, energetic companies and don't be afraid to negotiate for your best price. - 30242
