This method involves securing your vehicle to an open transport truck for delivery to your destination. Choosing an open auto transport service is an excellent option for most vehicles, particularly if they have a value under $50,000 and over four inches of ground clearance.

Car shipping quotes and rates California - Virginia
With AmeriFreight, you get the best auto transport rates possible for the highest quality shipping services. Our prices stay transparent, and we're sure to let you know exactly how we calculate your rate.
The following criteria will factor into your final car shipping rate:
- Size - If your vehicle is larger, it will require more space in a trailer. This means it will likely cost more than a smaller car to ship.
- Weight - Carriers have strict maximum weight limits for each shipment. The heavier your car, the more you'll have to pay to ship it.
- Condition -Inoperable cars require additional equipment to move. We may have to use a forklift or winch to secure it on a trailer. This service will add a fee to your shipping cost.
- Type - Certain cars have specific requirements for shipping. Convertibles require top-loading to avoid leaks, and larger vehicles need more space on a trailer. Your shipment price may reflect these specific requirements.
- Distance - Distance plays into the overall price of your shipment. The further we travel, the lower the shipping cost per mile. In-state car transport will be $3 per mile, while coast-to-coast rates start as low as 50¢ per mile.
- Time - If you're flexible on the delivery date, you'll receive a lower rate for your shipment, while expedited vehicles require an additional fee.
