Your auto transport needs can greatly increase or decrease the cost of having your car or truck shipped. You can save significantly by choosing an open rather than an enclosed transport. Every day auto dealerships safely receive vehicles from open car carrier 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 important cost factors include the size, weight and type of car or truck. The body type such as sports coupe, sedan, lower rider, crossover and sub-compact car you are shipping can also impact your rate. Usually the larger the vehicle the more it will cost to ship. If your vehicle has any non-standard accessories that have altered its size, this can also increase the cost of shipping. Listed below are some of the accessories that may increase cost of your shipment.

• Nerf bars
• Side steps
• Lift kits
• Running lights
• Extended side mirrors
• Grill guards
• Roof rack
• Running boards
• Oversized tires

Pennsylvania auto transport rates are calculated by the mile and rates change dependent upon 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. This method 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. You must inform the shipping company if your auto is inoperable. If the auto you are transporting is not operational this will significantly raise your rate. The time of year also affects the rates of shipping a vehicle, summer is high season and the rates are increased. The method of payment you choose to use for your vehicle delivery can sometimes affect your rate. Many companies prefer COD, but most carriers will also accept credit cards. Please check with the company first if you desire to pay with a check.

• Vehicle Accessories - Moderate Impact

Careful preparation is the most effective way to prevent any issues with your Pennsylvania vehicle delivery. If your vehicle is inoperable or partially inoperable it can still be shipped although the extra logistics, time, and labor will be reflected in your rate. You MUST inform the carrier of any such defects BEFORE you arrange your shipping schedule. Typically a pick-up driver that arrives without prior knowledge that a vehicle is inoperative will refuse to take possession of that vehicle. Always verify that both your pickup and delivery addresses are accurate. Do not utilize your vehicle as a secondary shipping container. Weight is an important calculation in determining your rate and personal belongings are usually not insured. Also leave no more than a quarter tank of fuel in your vehicle.

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. Keeping in contact with your driver will help reduce a lot of potential stress.

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. Pennsylvania has 250,199 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 Pennsylvania. Below are some of the road conditions to consider when selecting a pickup or drop-off location.

• Narrow bridges
• Narrow Cul-de-sacs
• One way streets
• Extreme grades
• Weight restricted bridges
• Low overpasses
• Access hours
• Limited Access Avenues
• Low hanging phone cables
