TO USE OR NOT TO USE A CALCULATOR?

A car shipping quotes calculator is a software that calculates your price in an instant. This kind of a software has predetermined parameters that define the price based on your input. So, the whole process is automated and that is why it is also called automated quoting. The predetermined parameters are as follows: vehicle type (make and model); vehicle condition (running or not running); type of transport (open or enclosed carrier); distance; location (rural area vs. major city); seasonality and gas prices. In general, the prices for all routes have set base prices and then the company can add surcharges like special city or terminal fees. Additionally, all companies add their fee. This is how a car shipping quotes calculator works, in general. The calculator is usually updated every three or four months, or with some companies more often.

CALCULATOR VS. MANUAL AUTO

TRANSPORT QUOTES

The key term here is automated quotes. When this is the case, the

prices given are not being verified with current market prices on

national dispatch boards. Moreover, the quotes are not

personalized and adjusted to the customer’s unique situation. In

this industry, one important aspect of the business is being able to offer the best possible solution. When it comes to shipping a

vehicle there could be, in most cases, at least a couple of

options available to the customer.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

We are not going to argue one over the other – manual vs.

automated quotes. We are just presenting a comparison.

Automated prices come form a software, while manual quotes

are determined by a transport specialist looking at current

industry price fluctuations. When an auto transport specialist personally assesses the situation, they can give the customer the

best option available via email or on the phone.
