Why Shipping Prices Are All Over the Place (And How Car Carrier Group Fixes It for Good)

Let me ask you a question.

Have you ever tried to get a car shipped across the country and thought…

“What the heck? Why are these quotes all over the place?”

One guy tells you $800.Another guy tells you $1,400.Then some genius in a polo shirt says, “Oh, we can do it for $500!” — and you just know something smells fishy.

Well, let me save you some pain, money, and possibly a broken windshield: most people quoting you are guessing.

That’s right. Guessing.

They’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping you’re dumb enough to book before you realize the truth.

Here’s the ugly secret about shipping brokers

Most brokers don’t actually know what it costs to move your car.

They’re not bad people (most of them). They just haven’t moved enough vehicles to have real, battle-tested data.

So what do they do?

They quote you a price they think will hook you.And later, when reality hits them in the face, they call you back and say:

“Uh… there’s been a change in the market. We need to re-quote your shipment.”

Translation:“We lowballed you to get your signature. Now the driver wants more, so either you pay up or your car sits there collecting dust.”

Sound familiar?

If you’ve been burned by this before, you’re not alone. It’s the oldest trick in the shipping playbook.

The difference between a guess and the truth

Here’s where Car Carrier Group is different — and it’s why we’ve been in business for over 20 years moving thousands of vehicles nationwide.

We don’t guess. We know.

When you’ve arranged transport for everything from a college kid’s Corolla to a 44-story crane in 20 truckloads…When you’ve shipped cars during blizzards, hurricanes, and cross-country relocations with the clock ticking down to the second…

You start to understand something most brokers never will:

What the market will actually pay a driver, when they’ll take your vehicle, and how to get it delivered without surprises.

That’s why when we give you a price… it sticks.

• No “market change” excuses.

• No “we didn’t realize your car was that big.”

• No “the driver backed out.”

We quote you right the first time because we’ve already learned the hard lessons — and we’re not about to make you pay for our mistakes.

Why “cheap” is the most expensive choice

Here’s something I want you to tattoo on your brain:

If someone quotes you way lower than the rest of the market, you’re about to become their guinea pig.

They’ll take your booking, throw it on a load board at that cheap price, and then watch as drivers laugh and scroll past.

Because no driver in their right mind is going to take your car for $200 less than the going rate.

What happens next?

• Your car sits for days, maybe weeks.

• The broker calls you with “bad news.”

• The “new” price magically matches or even exceeds the highest quote you got in the first place.

By then, you’re stuck.

This is why Car Carrier Group doesn’t play that game. We’d rather give you an honest, accurate price up front — even if it’s not the lowest — and then deliver exactly what we promised.

How 20+ years makes the difference

Most brokers are either new, part-time, or just internet cowboys with a laptop and a cell phone.

We’re not.

For over two decades, we’ve built relationships with the best drivers in the country — the ones who know how to handle your vehicle and deliver on time without drama.

We know:

• The seasonal trends.

• Which routes have competition for space.

• Which routes require extra incentive to book fast.

• How fuel prices, weather, and driver availability affect costs.

And here’s the kicker: We know how to leverage all that to get you the best possible price without sacrificing service.

Because let’s be honest — you’re not hiring us to gamble with your shipment. You’re hiring us to get your vehicle from Point A to Point B in one piece, on time, and without headaches.

The Car Carrier Group way

When you call Car Carrier Group, here’s what happens:

• We ask smart questions: “When do you need it there?” “Is it running?” “Any modifications?” — because every detail matters.

• We tap into 20+ years of real shipping data. Not guesses, not Google searches.

• We give you a quote that’s accurate and fair — one drivers will actually take.

• We back it up with 7-day-a-week support so you always know where your shipment stands.

No surprises. No bait-and-switch. Just professional, straightforward service.

Why our clients keep coming back

After you ship with us once, you won’t shop around anymore.

Not because we hypnotize you (though some clients swear we must)… but because you’ll see the difference between “rookie broker roulette” and experienced, precision pricing.

You’ll remember:

• How painless it was.

• How the driver showed up exactly when we said.

• How your vehicle arrived in perfect shape.

• How the price we quoted on Day One was exactly what you paid on Delivery Day.

That’s why dealerships, relocations, military families, snowbirds, collectors, and businesses keep our number on speed dial.

Because in this business, trust is the most valuable cargo we move.

Here’s the bottom line

If you want the cheapest quote, we’re not your guys.

If you want the right quote — the one that’s going to get your vehicle shipped quickly, safely, and without drama — you’re in the right place.

• 20+ years of experience
