What is Expedited Auto Transport?

What is Expedited Auto Transport?

Have you seen the term ’expedited shipping’ tossed around the internet when browsing through car transport websites? Or maybe you know what it means but want to confirm that you know it right?

Well, whatever it is that brought you here, this guide will help you learn everything about it. So read on till the end:

So, What’s an Expedited Car Transport?

It’s exactly what it sounds like; fast shipping. Unfortunately, in the car transport industry, delays are normal as the traffic, weather, and road conditions can hinder the speed with which a carrier moves. Furthermore, the availability of the car carrier can also make it difficult for the car shipping company to deliver your vehicle quickly. This is where the option of expedited car shipping comes into the equation. It is when the car is shipped with a guarantee of getting delivered on or by a decided date.

However, not all car shipping companies offer expedited car transport service, which is why your options are limited when it comes to finding a top-quality auto transport company with expedited shipping. But just to let you know, we at Easy Auto Ship do offer this service and that too at incredibly affordable prices.

Does Expedited Car Transport Cost More?

Yes, it does cost more – a few hundred to a thousand bucks. Now the question is, why does it cost more? Well, besides the fact that you are getting something extra (guaranteed delivery by a specific date), the car transport company goes the extra mile to offer fast shipping. It does that by getting a smaller truck with the capacity of just one car and shipping your vehicle on it. Some companies might not do this and cheap out by adjusting the car with other vehicles on a larger truck but most, – the good ones – get a separate truck.

The reason for doing so that smaller truck moves faster, so it gets the car delivered faster. Furthermore, if there’s only one car attached to a truck, it has less load, which also increases the speed. And lastly, picking up and dropping off just one car is a lot faster than doing the same for 5 more cars. So this is how a professional auto shipping company cuts the time short and delivers the vehicle faster.

Now ask yourself, hiring a separate truck and going hundreds of miles just to deliver one car, is this going to be cheap? It won’t be, and that is why expedited shipping service comes with an extra cost.

When Do You Need Expedited Car Transport?

Although we are not really in favor of getting expedited shipping because it will cost you several hundred bucks, there can be instances when you need it at all costs. These can be transportation of your car to an auction or a car show when time is limited.

Or, you are travelling somewhere for a few days of trip and don’t want to wait 3-5 days for the car to get there, so you get expedited shipping to have it delivered in 1-2 days.

Parting Words:

Using expedited shipping can really save you a few days but if you can, avoid it as paying an extra few hundred or even a few thousand bucks is not worth it, especially if the need is not urgent. For instance, if you are on vacation, get regular shipping until your car gets there and use a rented one for commute; it’ll be a lot cheaper than expedited shipping.
