There are many items that impact the rate of your Maine to Idaho auto transport. The size of your full-size car, kingcab pickup, pickup truck or extended cab pickup has a big impact on your transport rate. The bigger the vehicle the higher the transport cost. The time of year is another important factor as more vehicles are shipped during the summer which means fewer available shipping slots. Other factors include accessories and/or vehicle modifications such as Oversized antennas, Running lights, Camper trailers and 4 wheel drive which can increase the height and width of a vehicle. The type of transport (enclosed or open) is another big factor in cost. Inoperable vehicles (flat tires, no brakes, dead battery, blown engine, etc) will significantly increase your transport cost. Not informing a transport company that your vehicle is inoperable may result in them not picking up your vehicle. Finally, shipping distance is another one of the biggest factors impacting your shipping rate.
