DEFINITION
ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle), UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicle) and Side-by-Side (two seats and sometimes back seats also) are all-terrain, off-road vehicles for recreational, agricultural, competition, and/or utility task purposes, mostly known as four-wheelers, buggies or quads.
TRANSPORT OPTIONS
Although the shipping process of all-terrain vehicles is quite similar to standard vehicle transport, they require an appropriate and specific trailer to meet their unique shape and size, equipped with air-ride suspension and soft-tie straps.
- Open trailer: The cheaper method to transport vehicles, consists of a multiple-vehicle trailer, although with this option they are exposed to the elements during the journey,
- Enclosed Auto Transport: This service provides your vehicle with protection against external damage from debris and weather during transit by traveling inside a fully enclosed trailer.
- Door-to-Door: All-terrain vehicles are not allowed to be used on public streets and roads in most parts of the country, so this should be the best auto transport option, which means pick-up and delivery as close to your door as possible.
PRICES AND DELIVERY TIMES
There are several factors that can impact auto shipping quote prices and timeframes, such as:
- Vehicle Specifications: Weight, size, and shape are the primary costs and will determine the shipping price, the required trailer, and its subsequent availability.
- Vehicle Condition: A non-running vehicle will increase the price significantly as it requires more time and special equipment to be loaded and unloaded onto the carrier
- Distance: Longer trips are more expensive than short-distance shipping.
- Origin and Destination: Urban locations between major cities are more affordable than rural locations and therefore the cost will be lower.
- Timeframe: If you are flexible on your shipping dates, you will probably be able to get better rates
- Transport Option: Open transport is cheaper and faster than the enclosed option.
- The Delivery Service: Door-to-Door is more expensive as your vehicle is delivered directly to your driveway.
- Fuel Costs: Variations in gas prices will be reflected in shipping rates.
- Time of the Year: Off-season booking can save you lots of money.
PREPARING YOUR ALL-TERRAIN FOR SHIPPING
- Wash your vehicle so scratches, dents, and bumps are visible as evidence of preexisting damages.
- Remove accessories: Tuck-in side mirrors, antennas, spoilers, and fog lights and remove radios and other equipment.
- Check for leaks: Leaking represents potential harm to your own vehicle and to others and the driver may refuse to clear it for shipping.
- Pressure tire: Tires shouldn’t be deflated or over-inflated as it would represent an issue when loading and unloading.
- The battery: Unless specifically declared inoperable, your all-terrain should start up and roll on and off the trailer, otherwise you might face extra charges
- The gas: Your tank should be only ¼ gallon of fuel to avoid unnecessary extra weight and leaking during the shipping journey.
- Device deactivation: Turn off alarms and alert devices before shipping as the trailer’s movement may activate them during transit.
