What goes into the pricing quote for shipping a car to Maryland?

Several factors go into the pricing quote to ship a car to or from Maryland, including:

  • Vehicle type: car, truck, boat, etc
  • Vehicle dimensions: height, weight, length
  • Trailer type: open or enclosed car shipping
  • Route: Tolls can affect the price

How to Save Money When Transporting a Car to Maryland?

There are several ways to save money when shipping your car to Maryland. Here are a few tips to save on cost:

  1. Open carrier transport is often cheaper than closed carrier transport. So, unless you have a high-end luxury vehicle or vintage car, open carrier is probably the best bet.
  2. Share space on the trailer. When you transport your vehicle with other cars on the same trailer, you don’t pay as much as you would with direct and dedicated transport.
  3. Getting multiple quotes from legitimate companies also allows you to find the best price for your needs.

When you partner with AutoTransport.com we search for the best price to ship your vehicle to Maryland. With 15+ years of experience, we know how to find prices that fit your car shipping needs.

 

How to Prepare Your Car For Auto Transport Service in Maryland

You’ve called AutoTransport.com and received your free, no-obligation Maryland auto transport quote. Now, it’s time to start the transport process. Here are the steps to prepare your vehicle for hauling.

1. Wash Your Car

A clean car ensures you can easily document any damage before pickup or after delivery.

2. Take Photos

Take photos of your vehicle before and after loading, as well as upon delivery. This way, if you need to make a claim, you have documented proof of the condition of your vehicle before and after transport.

3. Remove Personal Items

Speak with your transport specialist. Sometimes it is possible to haul some of your personal effects in a vehicle, but if you aren’t able to, make sure to remove them.

4. Check Your Gas Tank

The gas tank should only be 1/8 to 1/4 full. This is safer for transport than having an empty tank or a full one.

5. Deactive Toll Tags

If you have toll tags attached to your vehicle, it’s a must to deactivate them. Otherwise, you might find unwanted toll charges on your account.

FAQ: Maryland Car Shipping and Delivery

The short answer is, it depends. Transporting a vehicle from California to Maryland is going to take longer than shipping a car from Connecticut to Maryland.

If the car carrier is using a multi-vehicle trailer, it takes longer to ship your car because there are other stops along the way.

Plus, drivers must adhere to the Maryland Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation regulations.

When you speak with an AutoTransport.com shipping agent, they’ll provide you with an estimated time of delivery.

That’s an important question. There are some very unprofessional companies who have been known to strand cars in the middle of nowhere after they get your money. You have to be extremely cautious when choosing a vehicle shipping company.

Things to look for include:

  • If the company is licensed, bonded, and has the proper insurance coverage.
  • Ask for the DOT number.
  • A company that DOES NOT require money up front.
  • A Maryland car shipping company that provides accurate transport routes.
  • A company that offers inclusive and multiple types of car shipping services.

Red flags that may be an indication to avoid a company include:

  • If they ask for money up front.
  • If they only take cash.
  • If they refuse to provide you with proof of license, bonding, and insurance.
  • If they they don’t have any online reviews.
  • If the online reviews are mostly negative.

AutoTransport.com is licensed, bonded, and insured for every Maryland car shipment. Our team provides you with a free, no-obligation shipping quote, with no hidden fees.

It depends on the vehicle, the amount you’re willing to spend, and if it’s worth it for what you need.

Open trailer, or open carrier transport, is the most common way of car shipping in Maryland. Open carrier transport can be a car hauling trailer with multiple vehicles on it, or a flatbed trailer. It simply means your vehicle is open to the air and may incur natural wear and tear from the road during transport. Because this is the most common method, and because you can often ship with other vehicles, it’s usually less expensive.

Enclosed transport, on the other hand, means the trailer covers your car on all sides. It adds a layer of protection from the elements. It also means it’s a dedicated transport, so the driver doesn’t have any other car shipping locations. It’s a popular car shipping method for classic or vintage cars, high end luxury cars, and motorcycles. It also costs a bit more than open trailer transport.

No. Unless your vehicle exceeds the standard dimensions, you do not need permits to haul your vehicle to or from Maryland.
