Provide complete pickup and delivery addresses, including street addresses, cities, and ZIP codes. Include contact information for individuals at both pickup and delivery points, especially if they differ from the primary contact. Indicate your preferred shipping dates, including the earliest date your vehicle is ready for transport and any time constraints or preferred delivery dates.

What factors are used to calculate the cost of car shipping?
Distance
The total distance between pickup and delivery locations directly impacts the shipping cost. Longer distances generally result in higher overall prices, though the cost per kilometer may decrease with extended routes.
Vehicle type
The size and weight of your vehicle play a significant role in determining shipping costs. Larger vehicles, such as SUVs or vans, require more space and may incur higher fees compared to compact cars.
Transport type
Choosing between open and enclosed transport affects the price. Open transport is more economical and commonly used for standard vehicles. Enclosed transport offers additional protection and is recommended for luxury, classic, or high-value cars, albeit at a higher cost.
Pickup and Delivery Locations
Urban areas with well-established transport routes may offer more competitive pricing. In contrast, rural or remote locations might incur additional fees due to accessibility challenges.
Urgency & Lead Time
Need your car picked up immediately? Expedited services usually cost more. Booking further in advance allows for better logistical planning and typically results in more competitive pricing.

Load volume (single car vs. full load)
Shipping multiple vehicles at once as a full load (typically 7-9 standard-sized cars, depending on car model) between the same pick-up and delivery points significantly improves logistical efficiency. This typically results in a lower cost per car compared to shipping individual vehicles separately along the same route.
Seasonal Demand
Auto transport prices can fluctuate based on demand. Christmas holiday periods often leads to a shortage of drivers. Conversely, transporting during off-peak seasons might be more economical. Severe winter weather in certain European regions can also impact availability and pricing.
Additional Services
Services such as expedited shipping or specific pickup/delivery timeframes can influence the total cost. Discuss your requirements with our team to understand any potential additional fees.
Auto transport insurance
Auto transport companies operate under strict legal insurance mandates. Transport companies must maintain comprehensive liability and cargo insurance coverage. As a customer, understanding your protection is crucial.
When discussing insurance with your auto transport representative, focus on these critical questions:
- What specific types of vehicle damage are included in the policy?
- What is the total limit of insurance coverage?
At Autoholly every vehicle is fully insured up to €250,000 (most other transporter only insure up to €70,000. Our rigorously transport process, includes pick-up/delivery photos and CMR handling, and ensures that any damages are typically resolved in days instead of months.
