Car Shipping Quote Calculator

Distance

The transport distance from start to finish is usually the primary factor determining the cost. Longer transports cover more miles and tend to cost more overall, though you will likely pay less per mile.

Running condition

Non-running and inoperable vehicles are associated with higher costs due to the unique challenges they present with loading and unloading.

Time of year

Some shipping routes are more seasonal. An example is the flood of vehicles and their owners heading south for the winter. The increased demand for these routes can decrease costs.

Other factors

Every transport is unique, and your quote reflects the circumstances of your specific needs. Some extras can cost extra, and our shipping calculator reflects that. Ocean travel and customs fees add to the transport cost. If you are shipping a vehicle overseas, these costs will be included. Enclosed transport for exotic cars, luxury vehicles, and restored classics costs more, but White Glove Treatment with ShipLux guarantees your vehicle will be showroom-ready upon arrival. And, when your schedule demands expedited service or rush delivery, ShipLux can make it happen. We keep our promises so you can keep yours.

Vehicle type and size

The vehicle’s make, model, and size dictate the method of transport and how much space it will occupy, which can affect transport costs. Our shipping calculator will adjust your quote based on your specific vehicle type.

Route

Heavily traveled routes and routes through metro centers reduce costs because of increased demand within these areas. When multiple shipments are transported together on the same route, many of the fees can be split between customers, reducing costs for each. On the other hand, if yours is the only transport within a geographical area, you may be alone in paying the relevant fees.

Weather

Great weather keeps costs down. Conversely, bad weather can increase costs. Snow, ice, and heavy rains can complicate everything, including transport!
