Car Transport
How to transport a car in the most inexpensive way
What is the cheapest way to transport a car? Shipping car via open transport (open trailer) would be one of the cheapest and most common ways to ship a car, minus using a drive-away. You can ship any car using an enclosed trailer, but it’s more expensive, and not often worth it-unless you are shipping an expensive car (see section below). Other factors that determine pricing would be the size of your vehicle. If you have a small sedan or a two-door car coupe, it would be cheaper than shipping something larger, such as an SUV. 2 Way Auto Transport offers free calculation for all different types of vehicles to see how much you will pay for the car you want to transport. Simply fill out our online form, and within minutes, you can see your estimated rate! To give some examples…if you were transporting a small car via open transport, the estimated cost would be $0.40 - $0.50 cents per mile, not including the broker fee. It also depends on the distance since shorter distances can cost $1.00 or more per mile. In contrast, transporting a car via open trailer from Miami, FL to Chicago, IL would range from $650-$850, which would be only $0.47-$0.62 per mile.Luxury car shipping via enclosed trailer
As mentioned above, we have options for shipping expensive cars using an enclosed trailer. We do not recommended luxury cars to be on open trailers because the fine paint can damage easily since the cars would be dangerously close to the ground. Shipping using an open transport with a luxury vehicle(s) can also cause damage from weather conditions such as, sun, ice, rain, dust, debris, etc, therefore, your best option would be an enclosed trailer. 2 Way Auto Transport offers high quality enclosed trailers anywhere from 2- 6 cars. The most common question we get is how much does it cost to ship a car via enclosed transport and will it break my bank? The answer is no. Although the rate for enclosed car carriers is twice as much as an open transport, 2 Way Auto Transport will always find you the best rate and cheapest carrier. For example, we can help you ship a luxury car via enclosed transport from Miami, FL to Chicago, IL for about $1300-$1700
What is the best way to transporting old car
Vehicles that are 25 years and over are defined as an "Antique Vehicle". We suggest an enclosed transport for an old antique car and if the vehicle is in bad condition too. Antique cars can have difficulties starting, moving and braking. Sometimes old vehicles need a winch to pull the vehicle into the trailer and some drivers don't have it, so be prepared with the cost and waiting time. Customers can get frustrated when we can't find a driver, but it takes time to find the right carrier for this type of car. In addition, the shipping price can be even higher if the old car doesn't start, roll or brake, as well as if you select enclosed trailer. Before you accept any orders online, please call 2 Way Auto Transport and we can fully explain all your options.
Transporting SUV or Pickup Truck vs Shipping car
Transporting vehicles as large as an SUV or pickup truck have a higher shipping cost than smaller cars. In the auto transport industry prices are determined by the vehicle size and distance. The car haulers range from 3 cars up to 10 cars. Shipping SUV's or pickup trucks vary from $0.50 up to $0.75 per mile depending on the distance and could also go up to $1.00 or more per mile. Our car shipping quote form will automatically calculate the estimated rate for transporting an SUV or pickup truck anywhere in the USA or Canada.
