Tips for Conversion Van Auto Transport Services
When you ship a car, emphasis is placed on what exactly it is you’re shipping. A Toyota Prius is shipped much differently than a Dodge Sprinter, for instance. Where you’re going is important, too, but what you’re looking to ship has a major impact on your auto transport prices.
So when you’re searching for conversion van auto transport services, what kind of conversion van you need to ship is important for your price. Conversion vans can be built out of almost any type of cargo van, from a Ford Transit Connect to a Chevy Express. These are all different sizes, which can and likely will impact your price.
The particulars of conversion van auto transport
With conversion van auto transport services, the first thing you need to tell your auto transport representative is what kind it is. Many new conversion vans are built out of “2500”-sized cargo vans, such as the Chevy Express 2500.
There are a number of different conversions available, but the two most common are for luxury and wheelchair access. Each one adds weight to the typical cargo van, which can affect auto transport prices. This is why it’s important to tell your car shipping agent what kind of conversion has been done. This way, they can get you more accurate prices.
Luckily, the vast majority of cargo van auto transport services take place on an open car carrier. They’re usually small enough to fit on a standard hauler and as such prices tend to be lower. However, some conversion vans, particularly those with high roofs, may encounter problems. This is common especially for Ford Transit and Dodge Sprinter conversions.
Those are often used because they already have high roofs, and some are extended to allow passengers more room to maneuver. However, shipping those may require a flatbed auto transport truck. These are designed to ship vehicles that are too tall or heavy for a standard hauler. Flatbeds are more expensive to ship a vehicle on. However, they are useful in getting around height restrictions often seen by standard haulers.
