One of the biggest factors in the cost of your auto transport is selecting open or enclosed transport. Auto dealerships safely receive vehicles every day on open car trailers. To save money we highly recommend this option, unless of course you are shipping an irreplaceable luxury, high end sports car, or antique vehicle. Other factors that impact shipping cost include the size, weight and type of car or truck. The body type such as hatchback, sedan, convertible, sub-compact car and off-road vehicle you are shipping can also affect your shipping cost. Usually the larger the vehicle the higher the shipping rate. If your vehicle has any non-standard accessories that have altered its dimensions they can also increase the cost of shipping. Below are some of the accessories that can increase cost.

• Roof rack
• Side steps
• Running boards
• Grill guards
• Rear bumper guards
• Extended side mirrors
• Oversized antennas
• Front bumper guards
• 4 wheel drive

Massachusetts auto transport rates are calculated by the mile and rates change depending on the cost of fuel. Often you can save money by driving your vehicle to a shipping terminal and picking the vehicle up at another shipping terminal near your delivery address. Terminal to terminal can save you a lot of money but if you need or prefer door to door auto transport make sure that your pick-up and delivery locations are accessible by a full-size tractor trailer. The method of payment you choose to use for your vehicle delivery can sometimes affect your rate. Although some companies prefer COD, most carriers accept both COD and credit cards. Please check with your carrier first if you intend to pay with a check. The time of year also affects the rates of shipping a vehicle, summer is high season and the rates are higher. If the vehicle you are transporting is not operational this will significantly add to your rate. You must inform the shipping company if your vehicle is inoperable.

The best way to avoid any problems with your Massachusetts 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.

When your vehicle is picked up you will complete a bill of lading. It is extremely important to complete this document accurately. You and the driver will inspect your vehicle and document any damage to the vehicle, such as paint scratches, dents, broken windshields, etc. When your vehicle is delivered be sure that you or your authorized representative, carefully check the entire vehicle prior to signing the bill of lading. Failing to do this can make it very difficult if not impossible to process a claim against the driver or shipping company. We carefully choose the best auto shipping carriers in the business but should any unexpected issue or problems come up you should definitely report them to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Maintaining open communication is the best method to assure a hassle-free vehicle delivery. Our Massachusetts trusted auto shipping partners will try to keep you in the loop every step of the way. Our affiliate carriers normally run as scheduled but sometimes road conditions, traffic issues, weather or other problems can impact scheduled times. Staying in contact with your driver can help eliminate any aggravation in the unlikely event your pick up or delivery time need to be adjusted.

Occasionally local road conditions and heavy traffic, especially in and around Boston, can impact pickup and delivery times and locations. Most auto transports are accomplished via semi-trucks. These 18 wheelers are difficult to maneuver on narrow roads and streets. Massachusetts has 76,855 miles of interstates, highways, and many rural roads and other road conditions that may prevent or limit 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. Selecting a mall or supermarket parking lot is usually best. 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 Massachusetts. Following are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.

• Narrow bridges
• One way streets
• Narrow Cul-de-sacs
• Low overpasses

• Railroad tracks
