What Determines Your Auto Shipping Quote?
Distance and Geography
Pickup to Delivery Distance: Longer distances typically result in higher overall costs, though the cost per mile often decreases for extended routes, making long-distance shipping more economical compared to alternative transportation methods.
Urban vs. Rural Delivery: Urban destinations generally offer lower shipping costs due to better infrastructure and accessibility, while rural areas command premium pricing due to challenging access routes and less developed transportation networks.
Economic and Market Variables
Real-Time Fuel Price Adjustments: Tessa automatically incorporates current fuel market trends into quote calculations, ensuring pricing remains competitive and fair while compensating for fluctuating operating costs.
Route Popularity and Demand: High-demand shipping routes benefit from competitive pricing and reduced wait times, while low-demand routes may incur additional costs due to longer scheduling delays, necessary detours, or deadhead miles.
Vehicle Specifications
Vehicle Size and Dimensions: Larger vehicles require more trailer space, consume additional fuel during transport, and may necessitate specialized equipment, all of which contribute to increased shipping costs.
Transportation Method Selection: Enclosed carrier transport typically costs 30-60% more than open shipping due to enhanced protection, privacy, and specialized handling requirements throughout the journey.
Seasonal and Timing Considerations
Seasonal Demand Fluctuations: Peak seasons, including fall, spring (snowbird migration periods), and winter, experience heightened demand and correspondingly higher pricing structures.
Service Speed Requirements: Expedited auto transport commands premium pricing compared to standard shipping options, as it guarantees accelerated delivery timelines and priority scheduling for time-sensitive shipments.
Why Choose Open Transport?
Open transport car shipping is the go-to choice for many because it delivers a great balance of value, speed, and reliability. Here’s why it works so well:
Cost-Effective
Open car shipping services are the most affordable option, ideal for budget-conscious shipping without compromising on safety.
Widely Available
With more open carriers on the road, it’s easier to find a service that matches your schedule, with no long waits.
Faster Scheduling
Quicker pick-up and delivery times make open transport car shipping perfect for time-sensitive moves.
Great for Most Vehicles
Suitable for everyday cars, SUVs, and trucks with no need to pay extra unless your vehicle requires special protection.

Questions About Your Quote
Yes, you usually have to pay a deposit, especially when shipping high-value or exotic vehicles. The deposit demonstrates commitment, and it is commonly required only after a carrier is assigned.
If you have to transport a high-value car, you can expect the deposit to be a larger percentage of the total cost compared to a standard domestic shipment.
The remaining is typically due upon delivery, or if you are shipping internationally, prior to customs release at the destination port.
If you arrange door-to-door delivery, the balance can be paid directly to the local driver when they deliver the car to your specified location.
The answer is no. At Haulin, the quote provided once the booking process is finalized is the final price. You won’t have to incur any additional fees.
Deposits become non-refundable once a carrier has been dispatched, so keep that in mind. If you want a full refund, the ideal time to cancel is before a carrier is assigned.
No. At Haulin, we are committed to providing our customers full transparency from beginning to end. No hidden fees, no additional charges.
