The biggest factor is the miles your car has to travel, but other factors can affect your shipping cost.
Routes: Transporting a car from North Dakota to Tennessee is a slightly shorter distance than Oregon to Arizona, but the latter typically has a cheaper cost per mile because it’s more commonly traveled.
Time of Year: The time of year can have a big impact on the shipping cost. Summer is a common time for people to move, either permanently or for the season, so it can be more expensive with the high demand. Winter is slower, but there can be delays because of extreme weather that cause drivers to reroute shipments – increasing the cost.
Scheduling: If you need your car at a certain time or book close to your delivery timeframe, it’s more expensive. Just like travel, booking early and staying flexible about your drop-off and pickup times can get you a better deal.
Make and Model: The make and model of your car, specifically how big and heavy it is, can affect the price of transporting your car to Mississippi. Smaller cars and SUVs are lighter and don’t cost as much to ship as large trucks and SUVs. If you have oversized vehicles to ship, you will likely have higher prices because shippers need specialized equipment to secure your vehicle and ship it safely.
Type of Transport: Thetype of transport is a big factor as well. The most economical option is an open-air trailer. This is often used for daily driving vehicles since it exposes cars to road debris and rain or snow in transit. High-value vehicles, such as antique and exotic vehicles, are often transported in enclosed trailers for protection with added expense.
