Many factors can impact the rate of your Maine to South Dakota auto transport. The size of your extended cab pickup, crew cab truck, sports car or kingcab pickup has a major impact on cost. The bigger the vehicle the higher the shipping cost. Other factors include modifications and/or vehicle accessories such as Oversized antennas, Trailer hitch, Camper trailers and Front bumper guards which can increase the width and height of your vehicle. The type of shipping (enclosed or open) is another big factor on your shipping rate. Inoperable vehicles will cost significantly more. Not telling a transport company that your vehicle is inoperable (dead battery, flat tires, no brakes, blown engine, etc) may result in them refusing to pick up your vehicle. The time of year is another important factor as more people are shipping vehicles during the summer which means fewer transport slots and higher cost. Finally, shipping distance is one the biggest factors in your shipping cost.
