Auto Transport Quotes
Getting accurate auto transport quotes shouldn’t be confusing. At Mercury Auto Transport, we make it simple to compare prices, carriers, and delivery options in one place. Whether you’re shipping a car across the state or across the country, our licensed agents help you understand the factors that affect your rate — distance, timing, vehicle type, and transport method — so you can book with confidence.
What Impacts Your Auto Transport Quote?
Three main factors shape every quote — here’s how each one works.
1. Route & Distance
Metro-to-metro routes (like Miami to LA) cost less per mile than rural or remote pickups. High-traffic lanes are more competitive; low-demand zones may run higher.
2. Vehicle Details
Accurate quotes need pickup/drop-off ZIP codes, year, make, model, and whether the car runs. Larger, heavier, or inoperable vehicles cost more.
3. Timing & Seasonality
Rates shift with seasonal demand, weather, and how flexible your pickup date is. For the best price, ship off-peak or choose Standby if you’re flexible.
Quote Types: Know What You’re Getting
Every quote is real-time and market-based — never a low-ball estimate designed to bait you into a higher price later.
Standby
Our lowest starting price for flexible timing. Best if your pickup window can flex a week or more.
Priority
Pickup and price confirmed by your agent before dispatch. The right balance of speed and value for most shippers.
