Ship open, keep dates flexible, avoid the semester crunch and meet the truck near a main road: the levers that actually move a student’s price, and the ones that do not.
The essential car shipping checklist: wash it, empty it, photograph it, leave a quarter tank, disable the alarm, fold the mirrors, pick open or enclosed, and confirm the details. Nine steps that prevent nearly every shipping problem.

When enclosed transport is worth the premium of about a third, what the equipment differences are, and what to confirm before booking.
