The Toyota RAV4 was the first crossover SUV to be available for sale worldwide and has been in production since 1994. It is currently in its third generation, so most auto transport companies shouldn’t have any major problems when it comes to moving it for you. In this helpful auto transport article we’ll discuss the current available models for the 2012 Toyota RAV4, including giving you a quick run-down on their current options as well as what can affect your auto transport quote when it comes to finding the right price to move it at.
The current RAV4 lineup consists of three different models, the RAV4, Sport and Limited. The RAV4 features hands-free phone capabilities and music streaming via Bluetooth, a USB port with iPod connectivity, cargo area second-row seats with one-touch-fold-flat capabilities and Toyota’s Star Safety System. The Sport features 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, an available appearance package with a unique rear door, sport-tuned suspension and exclusive Dark Charcoal interior. The Limited, the most expensive model, features available Display Audio with navigation and Entune, dual-zone automatic climate control and a Smart Key system.
When it comes to actually booking auto transport for your own RAV4, there are a few things that you may need to keep in mind while searching for the right quote for you. Though the RAV4 is a smaller SUV, it’s an SUV nonetheless, and some auto transport companies may charge a small oversize vehicle shipping fee on account of it being a sport utility vehicle. The RAV4 is not as large as some SUV’s on the market, however, so any auto transport companies that do charge some type of oversize fee for a RAV4 will keep it small, usually between $50-$100. But really, the main determinate factor for your final price will be where the vehicle is being picked up from and delivered to. Auto transport companies like to move vehicles in or out of major metropolitan areas, preferably along major interstate highways. If your pickup or delivery location is difficult to get to or from, many auto transport companies will charge more to ship to or from that city in order to maintain their bottom line. This is standard in the auto transport industry, and if you’re looking for shipping services on a budget it may be best to speak to a live representative and see if they can help you keep your costs as low as they can be.
