What are oversize vehicles?
Oversize vehicles are those that exceed the standard size and weight restrictions for road transportation. Some examples of oversize vehicles include large trucks, RVs, and construction equipment.
Oversize vehicle transport regulations
Before shipping an oversize vehicle, it’s important to research the regulations and laws in the state or states it will be transported through. Each state has specific permit requirements, and some may require escorts or special routing. Special routing may include avoiding low bridges, narrow roads, and other obstacles that may pose a risk to the safety of the transport vehicle and other road users. Our transport professionals will be happy to do that for you and give you all the information you need to transport your oversize vehicle safely.

How Much does oversize vehicle transport cost?
When it comes to oversize shipping, the cost can vary based on a multitude of factors. Every vehicle and route is unique, which is why consulting with a transport specialist is crucial to get an accurate estimate.
While online vehicle shipping cost calculators can be convenient, they may not always provide an accurate representation of the final cost.
It’s also important to be cautious of lowball prices, as they could potentially hide additional fees or lead to unexpected price increases after signing the contract.
By working closely with a transport expert, you can ensure a smooth and transparent vehicle shipping process without any surprises along the way.
| Type of vehicle | The shipping cost is influenced by the type of vehicle that you want to transport. Larger vehicles incur higher shipping costs because of their size and the fuel and labor needed. Due to their size, larger vehicles take up more space on transport trucks, leading to higher expenses. |
| Vehicle condition | The shipping process is impacted by the overall condition of your vehicle. Inoperable vehicles call for extra equipment and labor to ensure secure transportation. Vehicles unable to independently drive onto carriers will need specialized equipment such as a winch for loading and unloading. |
| Distance | The distance of the shipment is one of the main factors in calculating the cost of oversize shipping. Longer distances typically result in higher costs because of the increased fuel and labor needed. |
| Type of carrier | The method of transport or type of carrier influences the overall cost. Towing a vehicle is typically more cost-effective than hauling. |
| Seasonal fluctuations | Seasonal variations greatly impact oversize vehicle shipping costs. High demand during peak summer months can lead to price hikes. Conversely, lower demand in the off-season may result in reduced prices. However, adverse weather conditions such as heavy snow in winter can cause delays and increased expenses. |
| Fuel price | Fluctuations in fuel prices can directly impact the overall cost of transporting a vehicle. Higher fuel prices can result in increased shipping costs as carriers pass on these expenses to customers. On the other hand, lower fuel prices may lead to more competitive rates for oversize vehicle shipping services. |
The cheapest way to ship an oversize vehicle
So what is the best way to keep oversize vehicle shipping cost to a minimum? If you keep a few things in mind, you can avoid unnecessary costs for transport.
Opt for open transport (if the size and weight of your vehicle allows it): The standard and most economical way to ship vehicles in the industry.
Ensure your vehicle is operable: Carriers charge extra for handling inoperable vehicles, so make sure your vehicle runs and drives.
Plan ahead: Booking in advance helps avoid expedited or last-minute fees.
Keep your schedule flexible: A flexible schedule often leads to more budget-friendly quotes.
Consider low-season transportation: Shipping an oversize vehicle is usually cheaper during winter compared to summer.
Choose major city locations for pickup and delivery: If you live in a rural area, arranging for vehicle pickup and drop-off near a major city can be more cost-effective.
Transport multiple vehicles: Shipping more than one vehicle on the same truck can result in savings.
Inquire about discounts: Active military members, seasonal travelers, or repeat clients may be eligible for discounts.
