How far ahead should I schedule my pickup?
Generally, auto transport companies require 1-7 days notice so they can schedule you on the next available truck. Because this industry is route-based, it is often difficult to find a truck to transport your auto on short-notice. Some brokerages offer “express service,” but unless they a) own their own trucks and b) live where you do, express service generally takes more time than if you just scheduled a week or so ahead.
If an immediate pickup is absolutely necessary (in case of emergency), the auto transport company can probably help you. Many companies have contracts with hundreds of smaller trucking companies (and some even own their own trucks), so chances are they can get to you pretty quick. Don’t rely on this, however, because things have been known to go wrong. If you really want your auto picked up in the time frame that you requested, make sure theauto transport company has plenty of notice.

Auto Transporter RateAn auto transporter rate is the rate given by any auto transporter company to transport a auto. Prices depend on several factors including the length of the route, the location of the route (what areas of the United States the route travels through) and the season of transportation. Typically, auto transporter rates go up during the summer months because they can pick and choose which shipments to pick up, so they take the most expensive ones; during the winter months, however, people do not transport as much so they take loads for less money.
