Your transport requirements can greatly impact the cost of having your auto transported. You can save significantly by choosing open transport instead of enclosed. Auto dealerships safely receive autos from open car carrier trailers every day. To save money we highly recommend this option unless you are shipping an irreplaceable antique, sports car, race car, or luxurious vehicle. Other important cost factors include the size, weight and type of car or truck. The body type such as convertible, lower rider, pickup truck, extended cab pickup and full size pickup you are shipping can also impact your rate. Typically, the larger the vehicles size, the higher the transport cost. If your vehicle has any non-standard accessories that have altered the length, width, or height of your vehicle they can also increase the cost of transport. Listed below are some of the non-standard accessories that can increase cost.

• Roof rack
• Running boards
• Side steps
• Camper trailers
• Lift kits
• Nerf bars
• Trailer hitch
• Rear bumper guards
• Front bumper guards

Delaware auto transport rates are computed per mile and regularly fluctuate in direct relation to fuel prices. You can typically reduce your rate by dropping off your vehicle at a freight terminal and then picking it up from another freight terminal near your delivery address. If you require or prefer door to door pickup/delivery keep in mind that both the pickup and delivery addresses must be accessible to full sized trucks. If your vehicle is inoperable it can still be shipped open transport but as this increases time and labor for the carrier it will cost a lot more. You must inform the carrier company in advance if your vehicle has any operational defects. How you choose to pay your bill may also affect your final rate. Some carriers prefer COD but most will accept credit card payments as well. If you intend to settle your invoice by check it is important to arrange this with the shipper beforehand.

• Door to Door - Major Impact
• Vehicle Size - Moderate Impact
• Dropoff Location - Minor Impact
• Open or Enclosed - Major Impact
• Inoperable - Major Impact
• Multiple Vehicles - Moderate Impact
• Vehicle Accessories - Moderate Impact
• Pick-up Location - Minor Impact
• Shipping Schedule - Moderate Impact

The best way to avoid any problems with your Delaware car shipping is by careful preparation. Vehicles that cannot be steered and/or do not have functioning brakes will cost significantly more. You MUST inform the carrier of the vehicles condition and be prepared to pay a higher rate. Many drivers will not transport an inoperable vehicle if they have not been first notified. Be sure that both your delivery and pick up addresses are correct. Remember that weight is a major factor in your rate. Do not use your vehicle as a method to ship other personal items and have only a quarter tank of gas or less in your vehicle at the time of pick up. You can ship an inoperable vehicle, but it will be more expensive.

You will receive and complete a bill of lading when your vehicle is picked up. Carefully check the accuracy of everything on this document prior to signing it. Next, you should meticulously inspect your vehicles condition, inside and out, with the pick-up driver. Any defects or damage such as dents, cracked glass, scrapes etc. should be noted at this time. This step is crucial for resolution in the unlikely event of your vehicle sustaining any damage during the shipping process. Many customers and some carrier drivers will take pictures of the vehicle from multiple points to help with any unfortunate claims upon delivery. Damages are rare as we only associate with reputable, experienced auto shippers, however in the unlikely event that any issues or unexpected problems arise you certainly should report them to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Communication is the key to a successful and easy auto transport experience. Our {mainStateFullName}} auto transport partners will attempt to keep you informed every step of the way. Our partners schedules normally run on-time, however sometimes situations created by weather, road conditions, or other traffic related problems are possible.

When selecting door to door transport services, local road conditions can impact pickup and delivery times and locations. Most auto transports are accomplished by semi-trailers. These trucks are difficult to maneuver on narrow roads and streets. Delaware has 13,849 miles of highways, roads and many rural roads and other road conditions that could prevent or hinder access for semi-trailers. If the pickup and/or delivery locations have any obstructions that could prevent the truck from accessing the location we recommend you select a different location. This can easily be accomplished by coordinating with the driver. Traffic can also impact pickup and/or drop-off schedules. We recommend you check road and traffic conditions for delays. Check here to find current traffic conditions in Delaware. Selecting a mall or supermarket parking lot is usually best. Below are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.
