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 Pennsylvania, choose a location near major highways. Spots close to the PA Turnpike or near Philadelphia 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.

Pennsylvania Vehicle Transport FAQs

How do I prepare my vehicle for transit to/from PA? +
Before shipping to or from Pennsylvania, remove all personal items and document any existing damage with photos. Ensure your gas tank is only a quarter full, disable your toll transponder (like E-ZPass) so you aren't charged on the PA Turnpike, and make sure the vehicle is operational.
Is my vehicle insured transporting from Pennsylvania? +
Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport. Every carrier navigating Pennsylvania's highways in our network carries active cargo insurance to cover any unlikely damage during transit.
How far out should I schedule my pickup service in Pennsylvania? +
For shipments in Pennsylvania, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance. During harsh Pennsylvania winters or peak summer moving seasons, booking 2–4 weeks ahead helps lock in preferred dates.
How do I pay for my auto transport? +
No upfront payment is required. You provide a payment method to secure your Pennsylvania carrier. The balance can be paid in full by card, or you can pay the remaining balance to the driver upon delivery using cash or a certified check.
Can I pack personal items inside my vehicle? +
Generally, you can pack up to 100 lbs of personal items in the trunk or below the window line. Keep in mind that carriers crossing state lines from PA are not responsible for personal items.
Do I need to be present at both pickup and delivery? +
Yes, you or a designated adult must be present at your Pennsylvania pickup and delivery locations to inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading.
What's the difference between Open vs Enclosed Auto Transport? +
Open transport is the most popular and budget-friendly method for PA shipments. Enclosed transport protects your vehicle from Pennsylvania's unpredictable weather and road debris in a covered trailer, which is highly recommended for classic or luxury cars, but usually costs 30-40% more.

Factors that Affect Pennsylvania 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.
