There are many factors that impact the cost of your Virginia to California auto transport rate. The size of your full size pickup, lower rider, mid-size car or sports car also has a big impact on your shipping cost. The bigger the vehicle the higher the transport cost. Other factors include accessories and/or vehicle modifications such as Roof rack, Grill guards, Extended side mirrors and Rear bumper guards which can increase the height and width of a vehicle. The time of year is another important factor as more people are transporting vehicles during the summer which means fewer transport options. Inoperable vehicles (flat tires, dead battery, no brakes, blown engine, etc) will significantly increase your transport rate. Not informing a transport company that your vehicle is inoperable may result in them leaving your vehicle. The type of transport (enclosed or open) is another big factor in cost.
