Factors Influencing Transportation Costs

When planning your vehicle shipment with Outbounds Auto Transport, various factors can influence the overall cost of transportation. Here’s what you need to consider:

• Mileage: The distance between the pickup and delivery locations directly impacts the price.
• Time of Year: Seasonal fluctuations can affect pricing, with certain times of the year being more expensive due to higher demand.
• Booking Timeframe: Booking well in advance can often secure a lower rate, whereas last-minute shipments typically incur higher costs.
• Season: Specific seasons, like summer or winter, can influence costs due to increased demand or challenging driving conditions.
• Weather: Severe weather conditions may lead to additional costs due to delays or the need for special equipment.
• Vehicle Size and Modifications: Larger vehicles or those that have been modified (e.g., lifted trucks) often require special accommodations, increasing the shipping cost.

Impact of Snowbird Season

The snowbird season notably affects vehicle shipping trends and costs, especially routes from Michigan to warmer states like Florida. During the fall and winter months, many residents move south to escape the cold, leading to a surge in demand for vehicle shipments:

• High Demand Months: From October to December, as residents move southward, and then again from March to May when they return to Michigan.
