TIPS & TRICKS

Tips & Tricks for Saving on Vehicle Shipping

Off Season Savings

Car shipping rates drop during the off-season. Even shifting your shipment by a few weeks can lead to real savings. Avoid peak moving seasons like summer and major holidays to get the best rates.

Flexible Pickup & Delivery

Choosing a five-day window for pickup and delivery can lower your shipping cost. Carriers can plan routes more easily with flexible dates, which means more options and better pricing for you.

Hub City Advantages

For pickups and drop-offs in Idaho, choose a location near major highways. Spots close to I-84 or near Boise attract more carriers, giving you more options and more competitive rates on your shipment.

Open Trailers

Open trailers cost less than enclosed trailers and work well for most standard vehicles. If your car doesn’t need extra protection from the elements, an open trailer is the smart, budget-friendly choice.

Factors that Affect Idaho Shipping Prices

Distance

The farther your car travels, the more you’ll pay. However, longer trips often cost less per mile than shorter ones.

Route

Shipping along major highways is cheaper and faster. Rural or off-the-beaten-path routes cost more due to limited carrier access.

Season

Summer and snowbird season drive prices up. Shipping during slower months, like fall or early spring, can save you money.

Vehicle Type

Larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks take up more space and use more fuel. Expect to pay more than you would for a standard sedan.

Traffic Patterns

Busy travel weeks, like Thanksgiving, can slow down delivery times. Booking during lighter traffic windows helps keep costs and delays down.

Carrier Availability

During peak season, carriers fill up fast. You may wait longer for pickup, so book early to lock in your preferred dates.

Open vs Enclosed

Open trailers are the most affordable option. Enclosed trailers offer extra protection but cost more — ideal for luxury or classic cars.

Population Density

Shipping to or from a busy city can cost more. Dense urban areas have more traffic and tighter access for large carriers.

Idaho Vehicle Transport FAQs

How do I prepare my vehicle for transit to/from ID? +
Remove personal belongings and document existing damage with photos. Ensure your gas tank is about a quarter full, disable alarms, and ensure the vehicle is operational unless stated otherwise.
Is my vehicle insured transporting from Idaho? +
Yes, your vehicle is insured during transport. Every carrier in our network is required to carry active cargo insurance to cover any damage that may occur in transit.
How far out should I schedule my pickup service in Idaho? +
For most Idaho shipments, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance. During peak summer and snowbird seasons, booking 2–4 weeks ahead helps lock in preferred dates.
How do I pay for my auto transport? +
No payment is due at the time of booking. You provide a payment method to secure a carrier. The balance can be paid in full by card, or you can pay the remaining balance to the driver on delivery day using cash or a certified check.
Can I pack personal items inside my vehicle? +
Your shipment generally includes up to 100 lbs of personal items stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. Note that carriers are not responsible for personal items left inside the vehicle.
Do I need to be present at both pickup and delivery? +
Yes, it is important that you or a trusted adult is present for pickup and delivery to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle's condition.
What's the difference between Open vs Enclosed Auto Transport? +
Open transport is the most affordable and common method, where your car rides on an open-air carrier. Enclosed transport shields your vehicle from weather and road debris in a covered trailer, ideal for luxury or classic cars, but typically costs 30-40% more.
