Frequently Asked Questions
What factors influence the cost of car transport?
Costs are influenced by distance, fuel prices, vehicle size, type of carrier, urgency of delivery and pickup or drop-off locations. Larger vehicles, remote destinations and enclosed carriers usually cost more. Prices may also fluctuate based on seasonal demand. If the vehicle is not operational or requires special handling, additional fees may apply. Comparing multiple quotes and being flexible with delivery dates can sometimes lower the price. Always request a full cost breakdown before confirming.
Can I transport a car that doesn’t run?
Yes, most companies can transport non-running or damaged vehicles as long as they can be rolled, steered and braked. Special equipment such as winches or lift gates may be required, and an additional fee usually applies. Inform the provider upfront about the vehicle’s condition so the right arrangements can be made. If the car is completely immobile, loading and unloading will require careful planning and may take longer than standard transport services.
What’s the difference between enclosed and open transport?
Open transport involves transporting your vehicle on an open-air carrier, which is the most common and economical option. It’s suitable for everyday vehicles and short- to mid-range distances. Enclosed transport places the car inside a fully covered trailer, protecting it from weather, debris and road conditions — ideal for classic, luxury or specialty vehicles. Enclosed transport costs more due to limited space and higher protection, but offers peace of mind for valuable or delicate vehicles.
