1- What is the best way to get my vehicle shipped?
Open Car Haulers: Cost-Effective Way to Ship Your Car
Looking for the most affordable option to ship your car? An open car hauler is the way to go! Here’s why:
- Multiple cars, lower cost: These carriers can transport up to 10 vehicles at once, bringing down the price per car significantly.
- Smart planning, efficient hauling: Carriers strategically plan pickups and deliveries to optimize fuel and maintenance costs.
- Competition drives down prices: With many carriers on similar routes, they compete for business, offering you the best deals.
The trade-off? A slightly longer wait time. Open car hauler pickups typically take 3-5 days, compared to enclosed carriers which might take a week to ten days due to their lower availability.
Open vs. Enclosed Carriers: Choosing the Right Fit
Open car haulers are ideal for:
- Most vehicles (especially those that depreciate with use)
- Cost-conscious shipping
Enclosed car haulers are best for:
- High-value vehicles (luxury cars, classics, etc.) where you want maximum protection
Need Help Finding a Reliable Shipper?
An auto broker can save you time and money. They have connections with many carriers and can find you the best deal on open car transport. Check out our article on how to choose a reliable broker!
2- How long will it take to have my car delivered?
Here’s what to consider when estimating your car shipping timeframe:
- Average daily distance: Shipping companies typically cover around 500 miles per day, so you can use that as a starting point to calculate your route’s timeframe.
- Not guaranteed: These are just estimates. Unexpected events like bad weather or traffic jams can cause delays.
- Other factors: Mechanical issues or other vehicles on the carrier can also impact delivery time.
Need a More Precise Timeline?
- Terminal-to-terminal shipping: This option avoids residential or city traffic delays, offering a more predictable timeframe.
- Nominate someone for delivery: If you can’t be there, designate a trusted person to receive your car and keep things moving smoothly.
Want it Faster?
- Expedited service: For an extra fee, some carriers offer expedited service with guaranteed pickup dates and potentially faster delivery times.
