There are many items that impact the rate of your South Dakota to California auto transport. The time of year is important factor as more people are transporting vehicles during the summer which means fewer transport spots are available. The type of shipping (enclosed or open) is another big factor in cost. The size of your extended cab pickup, full size pickup, pickup truck or compact car also has a big impact on your shipping cost. The bigger the vehicle the higher the transport cost. Keep in mind, inoperable vehicles will significantly increase your shipping rate. Not informing a transport company that your vehicle is inoperable (flat tires, dead battery, blown engine, no brakes, etc) may result in them leaving your vehicle.
