Difference Between Open and Enclosed Car Shipping
Open car shipping is the most cost-effective way to ship a car. Eight out of every 10 car shipments are done via an open truck. You will always find more truck space available for open shipping, making the cost much lower vs enclosed car shipping.
Average Cost Per Mile
The cost per mile can vary between one route and another. Also, the longer the trip, the more economical the cost per mile. It usually ranges from 50 cents a mile to $1.25 per mile. The price per mile may also vary according to the season. Sometimes rates rise in the winter.
Average Car Shipping Cost
The average cost of a local move is $250. The average cost of a coast to coast move is $950. These are estimates for a 2 - 4 door running car.
Is Open Car Shipping The Cheapest Way To Transport A Car?
Most people and companies choose to transport their cars in open trucks because it is much cheaper and on some occasions faster. Why is it cheaper? The answer is simple, for every ten open trucks, there is one enclosed truck, so you will simply find more trucks, and therefore more spots available to transport your car, making the rates more competitive among car transporters.
