What you need to know about transporting your Dodge
2012 Dodge Charger SE The Dodge Charger nameplate has been around since the mid 1960's and has been a name used by Dodge in one form or another pretty much ever since.

Best Way to Ship a Dodge Charger Part 1
Our recommendation based on vehicle type, value, and industry experience
Enclosed Auto Transport
The Dodge Charger Part 1 is the kind of vehicle that deserves extra protection during shipping. Whether it is the value, the finish, or the sentimental attachment, enclosed transport keeps your Dodge shielded from road debris, weather, and prying eyes. An enclosed carrier holds fewer vehicles — typically two to six — which means less handling and more individual attention for your Charger Part 1.

Alternative: Open Auto Transport
Open transport is also available for the Dodge Charger Part 1 if budget is your primary concern. It is safe and reliable — the same method dealerships use to move inventory across the country. But for a vehicle like the Charger Part 1, most owners opt for enclosed.
Dodge Charger Part 1 Shipping Costs
What affects the price of shipping your vehicle
The cost to ship a Dodge Charger Part 1 depends on a handful of real-world factors. There is no single flat rate — every shipment is different. Here is what moves the needle on pricing:
Distance
Longer routes cost more in total, but the per-mile rate drops on long shipments: our published formula charges less per mile past 500, 1,000 and 2,000 miles. The shipping cost estimator shows the range for your Charger Part 1's route.
Transport Type
Enclosed transport for the Dodge Charger Part 1 typically runs 40% to 60% more than open; our published formula uses 50%. For a vehicle like this, most owners consider it worth it.
Vehicle Size & Weight
The Dodge Charger Part 1 takes up a specific amount of space on the carrier. Larger, heavier vehicles cost more to ship because they reduce the number of vehicles a carrier can haul in a single trip.
Season & Demand
Summer and the snowbird runs (south in October and November, north in April and May) are the busy periods. Shipping your Dodge in December, January or September usually costs less.
Pickup & Delivery Location
Major metro areas have more carriers running routes, which keeps pricing competitive. A rural pickup or delivery adds about 10% in our published formula for your Charger Part 1.
Condition
If your Dodge Charger Part 1 is not running, you will need a carrier with a winch or special equipment to load it. Our published formula adds 20% for a non-running vehicle.

How to Prepare Your Dodge Charger Part 1 for Shipping
A few simple steps to make sure everything goes smoothly
Getting your Dodge Charger Part 1 ready for transport is straightforward, but do not skip these steps. A little prep goes a long way toward making sure your vehicle arrives in the same condition it left.
- 1
Wash your vehicle
Give your Dodge Charger Part 1 a good wash before pickup. This makes it easier to spot any existing damage during the pre-transport inspection. Document everything with photos — close-ups of any scratches, dents, or chips.
- 2
Remove personal belongings
Carriers are not licensed to transport household goods. Remove everything from the interior and trunk of your Charger Part 1. Personal items are not covered by carrier insurance if something goes missing.
- 3
Check fluids and battery
Make sure your Dodge Charger Part 1 starts and runs. The carrier needs to drive it on and off the trailer. Check that the battery is charged, tires are properly inflated, and there are no major fluid leaks.
- 4
Disable alarms and toll transponders
Turn off any aftermarket alarm systems. Remove or deactivate toll transponders like E-ZPass so you do not rack up charges while your Dodge is on the carrier.
- 5
Keep fuel low
A quarter tank of gas is plenty. Extra fuel adds weight, which costs more to transport. The carrier only needs enough to load and unload your Charger Part 1.
- 6
Note existing damage
Walk around your Dodge Charger Part 1 with the driver during the pre-transport inspection. Both you and the driver should sign off on the condition report. This protects you if any damage occurs during transit.
Dodge Charger Part 1 Shipping FAQs
The cost to ship a Dodge Charger Part 1 depends first on distance, then on vehicle size, open or enclosed transport, the season and the pickup and delivery locations. The shipping cost estimator shows the current range for your route from our published formula, and the licensed companies that make offers set the final price.
