Whether you’re moving across the country or shipping your new car from a seller in another city, there are many factors to consider before choosing a car shipping company. These factors, such as the time of year, vehicle size and shipping location, will affect the price of the service.
For example, if your vehicle is a classic or luxury car, you may want additional protection by shipping it in an enclosed carrier, which is more expensive than an open carrier. Large vehicles are often more costly to ship because they take up more carrier space.
The time of year affects price as well. Shipping during the summer may be more expensive due to a higher volume of cars being shipped, especially to large urban areas. Shipping during winter is usually cheaper, but shipping to rural areas may not be, especially if bad weather might create dangerous road conditions.
If you’re short on time, you should also consider whether the company has express auto transport or door-to-door service. These services will be more expensive, but you’ll have your car back sooner.
Shipping a car to and from The Queen City varies in price as noted below.

You can get a more accurate quote from car shipping companies by specifying:
When you start to gather quotes, ask exactly what each one covers and remember that quotes aren’t final. Companies will also take into account factors such as the car’s exact destination as well as its mileage and overall condition.
Be sure to ask if the company is licensed and provides insurance in case your vehicle is damaged. Any answer other than “yes” may be a red flag. Check around for reviews and recommendations. One of the most important things you can do is choose a company that is reliable and trustworthy. You are, after all, entrusting one of your most valuable assets to them.
Finally, know whether you would prefer to deal directly with a car shipping company or a broker that works with multiple carriers. If you’re working with a broker, be sure to ask if the carriers they use are licensed and insured.
