How Much Does Auto Transport Cost?
Determining the cost of auto transport involves several key considerations. At PAL Moves, we believe in transparency and want to help you understand the factors that contribute to your shipping quote. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
Pricing Based on Several Factors:
Vehicle Type & Condition – Sedan, SUV, Non-Operational Vehicles
The size and weight of your vehicle significantly impacts the cost. Larger vehicles require more space, so the carrier has less inventory to move. This results in a higher price. There are also higher costs when you have a specialty vehicle with different requirements, like a classic car. Non-operational vehicles require special equipment to move them resulting in other charges.
Transport Type – Open or Enclosed Carrier
PAL provides a choice between an open or enclosed carrier. While the open is the most common and cost-effective, the enclosed provides the most protection. Open carriers are very safe, but they allow your vehicle to be exposed to the elements, while the enclosed protects your classic, luxury or high value vehicles another layer of protection.
Distance & Route – City-to-City or Cross-Country
The distance your vehicle travels is a primary factor in determining the cost. The longer the distance, the higher the cost. The route the carrier takes is also a factor. When moving a vehicle from city to city, along major routes, the costs are less than if the move was in more rural settings.
Season & Availability – Higher demand in peak seasons
There are two important factors to consider while pricing vehicle transport. During peak seasons such as summer and early fall, there are more vehicles being shipped and there is a much higher demand. The availability of carriers may be less, leading to increased pricing. Holidays and inclement weather can create traffic issues on the roadways, slowing down trips for the carriers, therefore increasing demand.

Can I put personal items in my car?
Yes, up to 100 lbs, stored in the trunk. The items must be contained in a single box or suitcase. Both front and back seats and the front seat floorboards must be empty and free of any personal items to prevent damage during shipping.
Is my car insured during transport?
Yes, all vehicles are covered under our carrier’s cargo insurance from the time of pick-up to the time of delivery. The motor carriers in our network have been carefully screened to ensure their insurance meets the US Department of Transport regulations requirements. How much your vehicle will be insured depends on the motor carrier’s coverage, the type of trailer, and the value of the vehicle. We can provide you with the carrier’s certificate of insurance upon request.
How long does auto transport take?
Typically, 5-7 days for cross-country transport. However, several factors can affect this timeframe:
- Distance: Longer distances increase travel time.
- Traffic/Roadwork: Congestion and construction slow carriers.
- Weather: Storms and extreme conditions can halt travel.
- Season/Demand: Peak seasons and holidays increase delays.
- Carrier Routing: Consolidation and routes affect timing.
- Vehicle Size/Condition: Larger or non-running vehicles take longer.
- Shipping Type: Enclosed transport may add time.
- Location: Rural areas often have longer transit times.
