The time of year can make a big difference in the final cost of transporting a car to Vermont. Summer has favorable weather, but it’s a high-demand shipping time for people moving or buying cars from out of state. Winter is slower and usually cheaper, but there’s a rush around holidays and inclement weather can affect the available routes.
The make and model of your car can influence the price too. Big trucks and SUVs are bulkier than small cars, so they’re more expensive to ship. Oversized vehicles may need specialized equipment to secure and ship safely, leading to higher prices.
Booking your shipment early can get you a better deal on your car shipment. Rush deliveries and tight deadlines are more difficult to book and more expensive. It’s best to be flexible in your pickup and delivery dates.
The type of transport you choose matters as well. Open-air trailers are more affordable and generally safe for daily driving vehicles, but your car is exposed to the elements and road debris on the ride. High-value vehicles like rare and exotic cars are best for enclosed trailers, which are more expensive but protect your car from the elements.
