Car Transport
Have you ever needed to have your car moved from one point to another, and were not able to do it yourself? From a cross-country relocation to an extended vacation down south, to taking up a temporary overseas residence
Looking for a Car Shipping Service?
there are any number of reasons to have a Pennsylvania Car Shipping Company ship your car. However, choosing a car moving company is not as straightforward as it may seem at first. There are several considerations. You will need to research items such as the types of shipping quotes, the shipping prices, the kind of transport vehicle used, as well as insurance policies. Additionally, you will want to factor in the time of year at which you wish to move your car, as well as how remote your pickup and delivery locations are. Then, there is the option of whether you would like your vehicle delivered to your front door or not. With so much to consider, it can easily seem overwhelming.
To help give you some much needed clarity and understanding, we have put together this helpful guide about the process of automobile transport should you decide to ship a car from Pennsylvania. In it, you will learn how easy and convenient it really is to transport your vehicle whenever and wherever you need it.
What Are Your Needs and Requirements?
Based on such factors as price considerations, shipping location, and speed of delivery, we would recommend one of the following auto transport quotes:
If price and affordability are your chief concerns, you will want to select a Standard Shipping Quote. This is usually the most popular option for car shipping. However, since this option is indeed the most popular, do know that you will be competing for limited space. Because of this, you likely will experience greater delays when we ship your car as compared to more expensive quotes.
If you desire to ship a car from Pittsburgh to a remote location as in the case of a cross-country or international relocation, an Expedited Shipping Quote is your best option. Of course, there are many other advantages to this option, with a faster delivery time being the most obvious. The small amount extra you pay over the standard car shipping prices goes a long way towards a much smoother and convenient delivery.
If you’re under a time crunch, consider choosing our Rush Hauling Quote. You may be paying a fair bit more than the expedited car shipping prices, but every penny spent will go towards ensuring that you receive the speediest delivery with the highest quality of service we have available.
No matter what your needs or requirements for shipping your car may be, at Pennsylvania Transporter, we will do all that we can to save you the most money with our custom auto shipping quotes!
There’s no need to worry about insurance, either! We offer complete and high quality coverage for vehicles on both our open carriers and enclosed carriers, whatever your requirements may be!
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car?
Aside from the Transport Quote you select, our shipping costs will vary based on a diverse set of factors, including the method of transport used, the season of the year, and the shipping destination.
Method of Transport
We will transport your car using either an open-air transport trailer, or the more secure enclosed box trailer. The open air trailer, since it can transport more vehicles at once, will be the cheaper option of the two. Do be aware that shipping your car in an open trailer increases the risk of theft or damage from exposure to the elements. Shipping times may be longer due to the larger volume of cars to be delivered.
On the other hand, our enclosed trailers offer much greater security and excellent protection against the elements and external damage, and so we charge a much higher premium for their use. However, since the enclosed trailers do carry less, we are able to make deliveries faster than with our open air trailers.
Of course, we do offer full coverage insurance for vehicles shipped on both the open and enclosed carriers. Rest assured that your car will be in good hands using either transport vehicle.
Seasonal Rates
Our shipping rates will vary based on the time of the year, with the highest rates being in the wintertime. We may be something of a snowbird auto transport service, but the road and weather conditions in winter and the distance to warmer destinations such as Texas and Florida require greater expenses that we must account for. This is especially the case if you request that your vehicle be delivered to your front door.
Shipping Location and Destination
The pickup location of your car, as well its intended destination also factor greatly into the final cost of shipping. The cost of shipping a car to or from an urban area is a good deal cheaper than shipping to or from a location in the countryside. Whether your location is rural or urban also affects the cost of our door-to-door delivery service, with delivery to rural residences being more expensive
How Do You Go About Shipping a Car?
On our end, shipping a car depends upon many factors outside of our control such as the travel distance, weather conditions, road conditions, traffic flow, and whether the customer chooses door-to-door delivery. For you, the customer, shipping a car is simple process:
- First, contact your chosen shipping company and receive your transport quote
- Then, go to their website and request to have your car shipped to your desired location.
- Next, wait to receive your assignment from the shipping company
- After that, confirm the pickup time and location with the truck hauling company
- Lastly, arrive at the assigned destination where your vehicle is to be delivered
