2. Schedule Pickup
3. Vehicle Delivery
California, a western U.S. state, stretches from the Mexican border along the Pacific for nearly 900 miles. Its terrain includes cliff-lined beaches, redwood forest, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Central Valley farmland and the Mojave Desert. The city of Los Angeles is the seat of the Hollywood entertainment industry. Hilly San Francisco is known for the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and cable cars. California is bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada and Arizona to the east, and the Mexican state of Baja California to the south. Auto transport to and from California is a daily routine at Nationwide United. From the thousands vehicles we’ve shipped, many route through the Golden State. We transit on any of the highways that cover the state as well as the spiderweb of freeways that crisscross the metropolitan areas of California on a weekly basis.
Top factors that affect car shipping cost
Factor 1: Distance of Shipment
The distance of the shipment is one of the most significant factors that will determine the cost of car shipping. Longer distances will typically cost more than shorter ones. The farther the distance, the more fuel and labor will be required, and the higher the cost will be.
Factor 2: Type of Vehicle
The type of vehicle you’re shipping will also affect the cost. Larger vehicles, such as SUVs and trucks, will cost more to ship than smaller cars. This is because they take up more space on a transport truck, and require more fuel and labor to move.
Factor 3: Shipping Method
The shipping method you choose will also affect the cost of car shipping. Two methods for shipping a car are open transport and enclosed transport. Open transport, where the vehicle is shipped on an open trailer with other vehicles, is the most affordable option. Enclosed transport, where the vehicle is shipped in a closed container, is more expensive but offers greater protection for the vehicle.
Factor 4: Seasonality
The season of the year can also affect the cost of car shipping. During the peak summer months, demand for car shipping is typically higher which can drive up prices. On the other hand, during the off-season, there may be less demand and therefore lower prices. Additionally, inclement weather during certain seasons, such as heavy snow during winter, can cause delays and increase costs.
