In order to get a free car shipping quote, you will need:
When you are getting a quote, you will not need the address that the car is being picked up or dropped off at yet, just a general location (town and state). However, when you decide to book your order later on, then you will need the exact pickup and drop-off locations ready.
A free car shipping quote is a very useful tool that can help you gauge which auto transport company to use for your shipment. A free quote is quite easy to come by and should be offered instantly when you are on a car shipping company’s website.
These quotes are subject to change based on variables that we will discuss below. So, feel free to get a quote whenever you please, but doing so as you are ready to book your shipment is the best way to go about the process.
Car shipping rates are determined by the distance of the shipment, the type of the vehicle that you are shipping, what fuel prices are at the time of the shipment, what time of the year that you are shipping, and the method of shipping that you chose.
Generally, the further you ship your vehicle the more it will cost. The more your car weighs, the more shipping it will cost. If you ship your car during a busier time of the year, such as during the summer when demand for car shipping is at its highest, it will cost a bit more to ship.
Other variables such as the cost of fuel have a smaller impact unless there is a large spike in fuel prices such as there was in 2008.
That is the beauty of getting a free quote though, you can always check and see what your shipment might cost whenever you want.
Getting a car shipping quote is extremely easy, but there are a few things that you should know first:
The first step in shipping your car anywhere should always be getting a free quote from any company that you might be considering using. Getting a quote is easy and instant from any reputable shipping company. These quotes will give you the best idea of what your shipment will end up costing you. If a company takes your information and says they will “contact you later” with the result of your quote, they likely are not a trustworthy auto transport company.
