What Affects the Cost of Shipping a Car to Massachusetts?
The cost of shipping vehicles varies depending on several factors and different companies give you very different shipping quotes. Here are some of the major factors that influence the cost of shipping:
Distance and Location
The distance between the origin of your vehicle and the location to which it is to be delivered greatly influences the cost of shipping. It would cost less to ship across shorter distances. Though there is a discount on the cost per mile when you are shipping across long distances, the overall cost of shipping is still higher since the distance is significantly longer.
The location also affects shipping quotes, if you are shipping your vehicle to major cities you are likely to pay less than when you are shipping to rural areas. This is because major routes get more business and the carrier can transport several vehicles at once depending on the size, thus saving the cost of transportation. It costs more to ship to rural areas because they do not get a lot of carriers passing through and can be several miles off major roads.
Flexibility of Delivery
Auto shipping companies often give you a time frame within which your car would be picked up and delivered. Having a flexible transport schedule will help you get better shipping quotes because it gives the company room to efficiently plan their routes. However, if you need an expedited pickup and delivery you will have to pay more.
Open Vs. Closed Auto Carrier
The type of auto carrier you choose to ship your vehicle is another major factor that affects the cost of shipping your vehicle.
Open auto carriers are readily available and are a standard for shipping companies; therefore, this mode of shipping is less expensive. Depending on the size, several vehicles can be transported at the same time. The downside to this option is that your vehicle would be exposed to the elements and road debris during transit.
With the enclosed carrier option, your car would be covered and protected from road hazards and bad weather conditions. This is the ideal option for high-end cars such as classics and sports cars. Some enclosed carriers are designed to transport low-ground cars to allow for easy loading unto the truck and the truck drivers usually have a good knowledge of handling expensive cars. The type of truck and expertise required makes the enclosed auto carrier relatively more expensive.
Type and Condition of Vehicle
The kind of vehicle you want to transport will affect your shipping quotes. Transporting larger vehicles are relatively more expensive than smaller ones. Larger vehicles weigh more and take up more space on the carrier.
The condition of the vehicle you want to ship to Massachusetts affects how it would be handled. An inoperable vehicle would need special equipment to place it on the truck, which makes it more expensive to ship inoperable vehicles.
Type of Shipping
When it comes to the location of pick-up and delivery there are two major options; terminal-to-terminal and door-to-door shipping.
In terminal-to-terminal shipping, you will drop off your vehicle at the terminal in the city from which you are shipping your vehicle and pick it up at the shipping terminal in Massachusetts. This option is more economical.
In door-to-door shipping, the auto shipping company will pick up your vehicle from your address and deliver it to your doorstep in Massachusetts. The option is more expensive because the truck driver might have to leave major routes depending on your location and extra miles attract more cost.
How to Select a Competent Auto Shipping Company
There are a lot of auto shipping companies that claim to ship your car to Massachusetts effectively and hassle-free, but end up failing at delivery. You need to be well informed when you hire a shipping company to transport your car.
Choose a Company that Offers the Services you Need
Auto transport companies offer different services based on the resources at their disposal. The different services they offer include door-to-door shipping, terminal-to-terminal shipping, and enclosed shipping – just to name a few. Make sure you verify the services of the company you want to hire.
Hire an Experienced Company
Go for a company that has a successful record of accomplishment of picking up and delivering vehicles to Massachusetts. It helps the delivery process when the company is familiar with the routes in the state and the different scenarios they might encounter. The company should also be legally allowed to operate in the state.
Check the Insurance Policy of the Carrier You are Placed With
During transit, some unexpected events might be encountered that could lead to damage to your vehicle. You should make inquiries about what kind of damage the insurance policy of the company covers. You can also purchase additional insurance to put your mind at ease.
Extensive Research
Once you make a list of the companies you are considering, you should research thoroughly to find out how the companies operate. Online reviews are a great way of knowing the satisfaction levels of previous customers. You can also get recommendations from family and friends. Check if the company is legitimate, they should have all the necessary paperwork and licenses required to operate in all states in the United States.

Meredith made this experience a great one! She was thorough at taking down all the details of my shipping needs and coordinating everything quickly. She also stayed in contact with me to let me know the status of my request and when a driver had been secured for the job. I highly recommend this organization for your transport needs.

Just moved two classic cars from Chicago to KC in the dead of winter. I asked for a two car hauler and the found someone fast. Was scheduled to have the cars picked up on Monday but the drive contacted me to see if he could pick the cars up a day early to get ahead of a big snow storm and bitter cold. On the back end I needed him to drive the cars up a long driveway and park them in the garage. He was easy to work with and did a great job.

Recently we had an opportunity to have our vehicle transported to an auction out of state. We dealt with Bob Moran of your company and was totally pleased with his response. He followed the procedure to the very end and kept us informed daily. We would definitely recommend your company in the future.

Worked with Larry from Ship a Car a few months ago to ship a vehicle I purchased on the east coast back home to San Diego. Larry was detail-oriented, provided a driver with a fair rate, and picked up the car within the allotted time frame.
The car was delivered earlier than expected which was the joy hiccup; as the vehicle was transferred from a tractor-trailer car hauler to a flatbed trailer from LA to San Diego. In doing so the delivery driver was given an incorrect phone number for contacting me. Fortunately, I was home at 10:30 pm to accept delivery.
The other issue with this unexpected delivery is I didn't have the cash on hand to satisfy the balance due to the driver. However, a call to his supervisor and the payment was made via credit card. Would definitely recommend this coming and would use it again as they're properly insured as well.

I live in Texas and purchased a classic car in Virginia. The seller suggested using Ship A Car and we were put in touch with Larry Farber at Ship A Car. Despite hiccups with the seller, Larry Farber worked with us in the most courteous, conscientious and professional manner and accomplished the delivery of the vehicle to me. I would highly recommend Larry Farber and would not hesitate to contact him and/or Ship A Car for future shipping needs.

Excellent Service!! After speaking to three transport companies that didn't impress me, I called Ship A Car, Inc...Wow.Danny, the agent, made me feel at ease as he spoke with confidence and assured me I will not have to worry and I did not worry at all. Danny founded a driver in one hour!! Issachar Simmons (truck driver ) was efficient and professional! He transported my son's truck to Ft Hood Texas without any problems or delays and did not hesitate to pick up the truck from my house. Wow! I highly recommend Ship A Car Inc.Money Well Spent!

Peter Minko provided excellent service, I had talked to peter months before regarding another move that I no longer needed, I had misplaced Ship a Car's info and I was trying to get my sister car shipped from California to North Carolina, everybody's quotes where all over the place and all the other companies stated that nobody was moving that direction or to that state. I had finally accepted a offer from another company that ended up giving me the run around and after awhile would not return my messages. Then out of the blue Peter Minko called with Ship a Car and I accepted his offer, Basically everything came to a HAPPY ENDING and I would use Ship a Car again and nobody else for future car shipping needs.
