What else should I know about auto shipping?

The major factors for shipping your car are: 1. Current location of the vehicle and the intended destination. 2. Time frame – do you need to ship your vehicle urgently or do you have a little time to get your auto broker to find the best price?. 3. Fuel costs – most shippers use diesel, which causes the shipping cost to increase when the price of diesel increases. 4. Whether you need door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal pick-up and delivery. 5. If you wish to ship your car enclosed or in an open carrier. These factors play an important role in setting prices.
