Minnesota Auto Transport Rates

Minnesota Car TransportYou can save a lot by choosing open transport rather than enclosed. Auto dealerships safely receive vehicles from open car carrier trailers daily. To save money we recommend this option unless of course you are transporting an irreplaceable luxury, high end sports car, or antique vehicle. Other important factors include the size, weight and type of your vehicle. The body style such as extended cab pickup, full size pickup, convertible, mid-size crossover and kingcab pickup you are shipping may also impact your transport rate. Usually the larger the vehicle the higher the transport cost. If your auto has any non-standard accessories that have altered the width, height, or length of your car or truck this could also increase the cost of shipping. Below are some of the accessories that can impact cost.
  • Side steps
  • Grill guards
  • Nerf bars
  • Extended side mirrors
  • Running boards
  • Oversized tires
  • Rear bumper guards
  • Oversized antennas
  • Lift kits
Minnesota 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.

Minnesota Auto Shipping Process

The best way to avoid any problems with your Minnesota car shipping is by careful preparation. 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. Vehicles that are not steerable and/or do not have operable 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.
Minnesota Auto TransportYou 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 critical to an easy auto transport. Our Minnesota auto transport partners will attempt to keep you informed every step of the way. Our partners typically deliver on-time, however occasionally situations created by weather, road conditions, or other traffic problems are possible. Keeping an open line of communication to your carrier or driver can help eliminate a lot of stress.

Shipping Impacts

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. Big rigs are difficult to maneuver on many roads and streets. Minnesota has 285,084 miles of highways and byways with many rural roads and other road conditions that could prevent or limit access for big rigs. If the pickup and/or delivery locations have any impediments that could prevent the truck from accessing either, 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 often the best solution. 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 Minnesota. Below are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.
