Among the vast range of vehicles shipped by M&M VEHICLE TRANSPORT, vans are considered a special category. Due to its unique features, a van´s shipping process is a little bit different, as they are not a size of a regular car, nor as big as a bus, they are somewhere in the middle.

TYPES OF VANS

• Cargo van (for moving goods)
• Minivan (transports passengers in small quantities)
• Work van (carrying equipment)
• Extended van (passengers and storage room in the back)
• Conversion van (a cargo van rearranged for other purposes)
• Mobility van/ Wheelchair van (with a wheelchair entry, ramps and powered lifts)

COST OF SHIPPING A VAN

Shipping a van is expensive for they require special procedures and treatment, as well as more space. If they fit on a normal carrier, like minivans, the rate over the price of a regular car won´t be excessive, for their size and height is similar to a standard SUV. Larger vans that fit on a regular carrier but are bigger, will need a flatbed rig. The bigger the size, the bigger the price.

OVERSIZED VANS

If a cargo van is too large (taller and heavier than the norm) and cannot fit onto an open transport trailer, it is considered oversized and will therefore need to be transported in a flatbed platform. The shipping process of this kind of vehicle is much slower, for they need a more individual approach, special carriers, drivers, and different procedures. 

FACTORS AFFECTING THE SHIPPING PRICE

• Season
• Size of the vehicle
• distance
• Route
• Type of carrier (open or enclosed)
• Time of delivery
