Vehicle Shipping to Massachusetts

What Affects the Cost of Shipping a Car to Massachusetts?
The cost of shipping vehicles varies depending on several factors and different companies give you very different shipping quotes. Here are some of the major factors that influence the cost of shipping:
Distance and Location
The distance between the origin of your vehicle and the location to which it is to be delivered greatly influences the cost of shipping. It would cost less to ship across shorter distances. Though there is a discount on the cost per mile when you are shipping across long distances, the overall cost of shipping is still higher since the distance is significantly longer.
The location also affects shipping quotes, if you are shipping your vehicle to major cities you are likely to pay less than when you are shipping to rural areas. This is because major routes get more business and the carrier can transport several vehicles at once depending on the size, thus saving the cost of transportation. It costs more to ship to rural areas because they do not get a lot of carriers passing through and can be several miles off major roads.
Flexibility of Delivery
Auto shipping companies often give you a time frame within which your car would be picked up and delivered. Having a flexible transport schedule will help you get better shipping quotes because it gives the company room to efficiently plan their routes. However, if you need an expedited pickup and delivery you will have to pay more.
Open Vs. Closed Auto Carrier
The type of auto carrier you choose to ship your vehicle is another major factor that affects the cost of shipping your vehicle.
Open auto carriers are readily available and are a standard for shipping companies; therefore, this mode of shipping is less expensive. Depending on the size, several vehicles can be transported at the same time. The downside to this option is that your vehicle would be exposed to the elements and road debris during transit.
With the enclosed carrier option, your car would be covered and protected from road hazards and bad weather conditions. This is the ideal option for high-end cars such as classics and sports cars. Some enclosed carriers are designed to transport low-ground cars to allow for easy loading unto the truck and the truck drivers usually have a good knowledge of handling expensive cars. The type of truck and expertise required makes the enclosed auto carrier relatively more expensive.
Type and Condition of Vehicle
The kind of vehicle you want to transport will affect your shipping quotes. Transporting larger vehicles are relatively more expensive than smaller ones. Larger vehicles weigh more and take up more space on the carrier.
The condition of the vehicle you want to ship to Massachusetts affects how it would be handled. An inoperable vehicle would need special equipment to place it on the truck, which makes it more expensive to ship inoperable vehicles.
Type of Shipping
When it comes to the location of pick-up and delivery there are two major options; terminal-to-terminal and door-to-door shipping.
In terminal-to-terminal shipping, you will drop off your vehicle at the terminal in the city from which you are shipping your vehicle and pick it up at the shipping terminal in Massachusetts. This option is more economical.
In door-to-door shipping, the auto shipping company will pick up your vehicle from your address and deliver it to your doorstep in Massachusetts. The option is more expensive because the truck driver might have to leave major routes depending on your location and extra miles attract more cost.
How to Select a Competent Auto Shipping Company
There are a lot of auto shipping companies that claim to ship your car to Massachusetts effectively and hassle-free, but end up failing at delivery. You need to be well informed when you hire a shipping company to transport your car.
Choose a Company that Offers the Services you Need
Auto transport companies offer different services based on the resources at their disposal. The different services they offer include door-to-door shipping, terminal-to-terminal shipping, and enclosed shipping – just to name a few. Make sure you verify the services of the company you want to hire.
Hire an Experienced Company
Go for a company that has a successful record of accomplishment of picking up and delivering vehicles to Massachusetts. It helps the delivery process when the company is familiar with the routes in the state and the different scenarios they might encounter. The company should also be legally allowed to operate in the state.
Check the Insurance Policy of the Carrier You are Placed With
During transit, some unexpected events might be encountered that could lead to damage to your vehicle. You should make inquiries about what kind of damage the insurance policy of the company covers. You can also purchase additional insurance to put your mind at ease.
Extensive Research
Once you make a list of the companies you are considering, you should research thoroughly to find out how the companies operate. Online reviews are a great way of knowing the satisfaction levels of previous customers. You can also get recommendations from family and friends. Check if the company is legitimate, they should have all the necessary paperwork and licenses required to operate in all states in the United States.

I had a truck I needed to ship from California to Texas. I check around to see who had he better rate and Service. I found Ship a Car Inc was the one for me. They were a little high in price, but you can’t beat the service. The Agent I was working with was Bob. He held my hand throughout the whole process. Even after my truck was delivered, he call me up to see if everything went OK and If I had any questions. Would I use Ship a Car Inc again? Yes, for sure. Ask for Bob.

Quinten worked for several days and got a great rate with a quick delivery date from the west coast. Thank Quinten. This was the first experience shipping a vehicle. Ship a Car will certainly be used for any future business. Before using Ship a Car I tried Uship. Being around the christmas holidays it didn't look good shipping a truck cross country. Within 24 hours I recieved a good bid and immediately was scammed by an alleged hauler that cleaned out my bank account.

The entire process was so smooth and professionally handled. From Meredith our transport agent to Justin our transport driver it was a seamless process. We needed our car shipped from the west coast to our new home nearly 2200 miles away. We were in nearly constant communication with Meredith who provided updates promptly. When we had a hiccup on our end, our driver, Justin worked with us with no problem. Our car was delivered on the date and time promised and in undamaged condition. This was such a positive experience for us.

I had a classic VW Beetle shipped from California to New York. Danny (the representative from Ship A Car) was the BEST! He explained everything to me step by step. I had never shipped a car before and I called a bunch of different companies and was feeling leery. But Danny was patient, very kind, and trustworthy. He explained everything to me. He encouraged me to look up the company on the BBB website, which I did. After doing my research, I knew this was the company for me. If you need to ship a car, CALL DANNY He's aces! My car arrived as scheduled and the price was fair. Thanks Dan - you're the best!

I needed to transport my car from Kentucky to Nevada. I requested a quote and received one via email. I then received a phone call from Bob M. Bob worked with me explaining the process for shipping a car and once I had sent in my paperwork he went to work finding a driver to transport my car. When the first driver's dispatcher called to let me know my driver's truck broke down, I immediately called Bob and explained the situation. He got to work finding a new driver for my car. Having Bob on my side, to arrange this transport was a huge relief to me and I was glad to know that things would be taken care of. My car arrived on time (actually it was there before I was expecting it) and l was very pleased with this company. I would highly recommend them and Bob M. to anyone looking to ship a vehicle safely and with no worries. Thank you.

I really enjoyed working with him as he's just so pleasant and on top of things.

Jocelyn was straight up with me, she gave me her word that she would not stop until she got me a driver and stay in contact with me the entire process which she did. even after my son received the car she checked with me to make sure everything was good. Thank you for your help.

I recently used the services from Ship A Car INC to ship a vehicle I have from Ohio to California and was quite satisfied with how well the work from them went. The people that came to my home to get the vehicle were very friendly and courteous while they were here and were very cautious while moving my vehicle on to the truck. Overall I think Ship A Car did a great job moving my vehicle, it arrived at the correct location with no dents or damages, I will definitely use them again if needed and I highly recommend their services.

I am very pleased with my experience with Ship A Car. My broker is Howard, and he is courteous and professional with his all encounters with me. I was shopping a car from Mississippi to California. Their price point is higher than other companies, but it is worth paying a little more for the peace of mind that the job is going to get done. I shipped cars before with other companies who didn't deliver service as promised and it left me in a bind. So, it was very refreshing to have someone call me as promised, several days before to finalize plans, and the day before the car's pick up to confirm the time of pick up. My car was picked up the day before planned and the delivered a day early. I am so happy with this stellar service that I am using this company again to transport a different car. The service you receive is second to none. I had questions as my timeline was tight, and Howard answered my questions every step of the way; he returned my calls promptly and I was never left in the dark. Highly recommend!! You get what you pay for.

Worked with Larry from Ship a Car a few months ago to ship a vehicle I purchased on the east coast back home to San Diego. Larry was detail-oriented, provided a driver with a fair rate, and picked up the car within the allotted time frame.
The car was delivered earlier than expected which was the joy hiccup; as the vehicle was transferred from a tractor-trailer car hauler to a flatbed trailer from LA to San Diego. In doing so the delivery driver was given an incorrect phone number for contacting me. Fortunately, I was home at 10:30 pm to accept delivery.
The other issue with this unexpected delivery is I didn't have the cash on hand to satisfy the balance due to the driver. However, a call to his supervisor and the payment was made via credit card. Would definitely recommend this coming and would use it again as they're properly insured as well.

The rep was very helpful. Pickup was Clarkston, Michigan on a Wednesday and the car wasn’t delivered until the following Saturday. It was in the email, very clear, that it would probably be delivered on that Friday, 10 days later. I thought it would come on a Monday or Tuesday. But when I looked at the email, it clearly said Friday. It ended up showing up on Saturday, which was fine. I was out of state, traveling for work. So, I didn’t need the vehicle, but I just had to schedule my friend to be there. Thankfully, she’s a very good friend. I saw the car on Monday. It was very dirty but that’s expected. It was dirty when it left, but it was way dirty. But it was in the same shape as it was when I left it with my sister for it to be picked up. I already recommended Ship A Car, Inc. to a coworker.
