Factors to Keep in Mind When Shipping
Cost
Price is usually first and foremost on anyone’s mind, and there’s definitely a wide variety among car transport companies. It’s important to note the cost will also vary depending on the vehicle.
Other variables that impact pricing include any modifications to the car, whether the vehicle runs, geographic distance to travel, pick-up location (rural or metro), seasonal considerations and what type of trailer your car needs.

Transport Type
The majority of Global Auto’s customers choose open auto transport for their cross-country shipping needs. This is easily the most cost-efficient method and is generally selected for everyday cars.
If you’re in the market for shipping a luxury, classic, or rare car then it’s wise to explore the enclosed transport option. This method is doubly secure, guarding against the threat of dust, dirt, and other road debris.
Timing
Moving a car across the country can take as much as two whole weeks. That’s a lot of time considering you need your car on a daily basis. Doing without can impact your schedule and your pocketbook. Are you ready for that inconvenience?

Research Your Options
Once you’ve done the heavy-lifting of considering all the factors involved in shipping your car, take the time to read some company reviews. Whether it’s our site or another, these customer evaluations can be a super helpful resource.
Forums, blogs, and discussion boards are great places to find opinions that allow you to make an informed choice. Again, your car is a prized possession, make sure you pick the most qualified carrier for the job.
