Factors that affect New Mexico shipping rates
Car shipping prices can vary based on several factors.
Distance and route
Longer trips cost more in total but less per mile. Busy interstate corridors are usually cheaper than remote or rural routes.
Vehicle size and weight
SUVs, pickups and vans take up more space and weight on a carrier than a sedan, so they cost more to ship.
Open or enclosed transport
Enclosed trailers carry fewer cars and protect them from weather and road debris, so they cost more than open carriers.
Season and demand
Prices rise when demand outpaces truck space, such as summer moving season and snowbird routes in late fall and spring.
Vehicle condition
A car that doesn't run needs a winch or special equipment to load, which adds to the price.
Pickup timing
Flexible pickup dates give carriers more ways to fit your car on a truck. Expedited pickup costs more.
