The auto shipping cost of the vehicle directly correlates with the size of the vehicle. Rationally, a Sports Utility Vehicle will cost more than a small or mid sized vehicle. It is important to keep this in mind while obtaining a vehicle shipping quote for the shipment of your vehicle.

An SUV will weigh more than a car, and be larger in size therefore take up more room while in transport, and have a greater weight and therefore costing more money to ship.

Net weight is a measure often used through the process of auto shipping. Net weight means the weight of the vehicle determined on a standard scale. This includes all equipment naturally attached to the vehicle, as well as all fuels inside the vehicle.

For example a large SUV such as a Ford Expedition is literly two times the size for a Ford escort. Therefore it puts more weight on the auto transport carriers truck which will burn more gas. Also the length of a large SUV or truck is sometimes one and a half times as long as a regular sedan, leaving less room on the auto transport carriers trailer for other vehicles. Please be sure to note if any vehicle that is larger the a regular sedan to the auto transport company so that your price quote will be accurate.
