For most things you purchase your insticts will tell you to go with the cheapest. The auto transport industry is quite different. In order to get your business other companies will quote whatever price is necessary. After your car sits for a few weeks, then they will try to find a truck that is desperate or upsell you to a higher price. We own and operate a fleet of trucks and know what price it taks to move cars. Our best customers are frustrated ones that come from other companies. For example a small car that needs to move coast to coast. The going rate is about $1000 – $1200 depending on market conditions. If a company quotes you $900 then that car will sit until either they find a truck that is desperate to fill one last spot or they can convince you to raise the price. If you try to move the same car at $1100, then you will open up the potential number of trucks that will take your car. Most likely you will get the car moved and ON TIME.
