When you need to transport a vehicle, using a car shipping calculator to get a free auto transport quote is the first step in the process.
When you need to transport a car, the auto shipping cost is probably the biggest factor in your decision. A car shipping calculator is how you generate your quote and find out how much it will cost to ship your car, but not all cost calculators are the same.
Many car shipping websites have cost estimators that require you to provide your name, email, and phone number before they’ll give you a quote. Worse yet, many of them won’t even provide an instant quote on their websites. They’ll only provide a quote after talking to your via email or phone.
We don’t play those games. Our car shipping calculator provides an instant quote without asking for your name, email or phone number! We only need the pick up and destination locations, what type of vehicle you’re shipping, and if it’s operable or not.
Here is part of a review from a customer that commented on how easy our car shipping calculator was to use:
“I went on your site, punched up my estimate really quick and actually booked it online. The ordering was real easy and worked out really well. I was amazed.” – Richard Hook Review
And here’s another review from a customer who commented on how easy it was to use our website to generate an instant quote and eventually book an order.

Factors That Impact How Our Car Shipping Calculator Determines Pricing
You may be wondering how our car shipping calculator determines the instant quote you receive.
The main factors that affect your auto shipping quote are the size of the vehicle and the distance of the transport. The larger the vehicle and the longer the distance of the transport route, the more the quote will be.
That’s why the primary information we ask for in our shipping calculator is the pick up location (either the name of the city or the zip code), the destination location (city name or zip code), what type of vehicle it is, and the year, make and model.
Our car shipping calculator has four basic categories when asking what type of vehicle you have:
- Car
- Crossover / Mini Van / Small SUV
- Large SUV / Truck
- Cargo Van / XL Truck
The only additional information we ask is whether the vehicle runs or not. Inoperable vehicles cost more to ship because it takes time and special planning by our drivers and dispatch team.
You won’t need to submit any personal information. We’ll only need your contact info if you decide to proceed to book an order, or if you have any questions.
Once you fill out all the fields and click on the “Get Instant Quote” button, your quote is generated instantly! No need to wait for an email or a phone call. Assuming all the information you entered is correct, the quote will be all inclusive and accurate.
You can trust that what you see is what you get here, our quote is all-inclusive.
There are no hidden fees or charges, and insurance is included.

Things to Consider After Using a Car Shipping Calculator
After getting a cost estimate using our calculator, we’re confident you’ll find our pricing is competitive. We’re not the cheapest but we’re also not the most expensive. We price our services to move your vehicle promptly and safely with a minimum of delay. That’s how we’ve always priced our services and it’s what’s made us a favorite for over 20 years.
While we’re confident you’ll be impressed with how we do business and our fair pricing, we encourage consumers to shop around to get several quotes from different types of auto transport companies. The main types of car hauling companies are brokers, carriers, and broker-carriers.
J&S transportation is a broker-carrier. By getting quotes from these different types of companies, you’ll get a better understanding of shipping costs and how the prices differ depending on the type of company shipping your car.
You should also check out a potential shipper’s online reviews on websites such as TransportReviews.com, Google, and the BBB.
Once you know the cost to ship your car and you’ve had a chance to read reviews of various companies, then you’ll be able to confidently choose an auto transport company to work with to ship your car.
