money saving tips

It seems that everything nowadays has a secret “hack” or insider tip that, if you are in the know, can save you money. Auto transport is an affordable way to get your car, truck, SUV or motorcycle from point A to point B, but just everything else nowadays, there are some insider tips that can help you lock down the best price. The question is: are you in the know?

5 tips to get the best auto transport price 

  1. Clear the clutter. While you may be able to transport some of your personal belongings in your vehicle, if you tip the scales over 100 pounds, you may get an extra charge. Be sure to check with your auto transport company if special accommodations are needed and see how it will affect your car shipping price.
  2. Stick to the facts. To make sure that you get the best car shipping price (and the most accurate), you’ll need to communicate all the details of your auto transport needs. Tell your auto shipper what kind of car you are shipping and whether it is oversized, inoperable or needs extra layers of protection from the elements. All these things can impact your car shipping price.
  3. Pick your dates wisely. There is a seasonality that can impact your car shipping price. For example, snowbirds travel from the Northern parts of the country to the Southern parts where it’s warm. They transport their vehicles during the fall and spring seasons which can drive up prices.
  4. Meet your car shipper where it’s convenient. Door-to-door car shipping is an option if it makes your life easier, and you don’t even have to be home. But, to get the best auto transport price, you can drop your car off and pick it up at a conveniently-located intake center close to your location.
  5. Skip the cover. Your luxury sports car or vintage motorcycle might require an enclosed carrier, but a standard car can be shipped in an open carrier is the most cost-effective choice.
