Understanding “Runs and Drives but Inoperable Option” in Auto Transpor
This seemingly contradictory phrase is common in the auto transport industry. It means the car can start and move under its own power (it “runs and drives”), but for the purpose of transport, it’s being declared “inoperable.” This usually implies one of the following:
Minor issues that prevent safe road use: The car might start and move, but has issues with brakes, steering, lights, or other critical safety components.
Missing keys or locked steering/transmission: Even if the engine works, if the keys are missing or the steering wheel/transmission is locked, it’s considered inoperable for loading purposes.
Damage: The car might have damage that, while not preventing it from starting, makes it difficult or risky to drive onto a standard transport trailer without specialized equipment.
Factors Affecting the Cost of Shipping a Vehicle:
Distance
The distance the vehicle needs to be shipped is a major factor in determining the cost. Generally, the more miles the vehicle needs to be shipped, the higher the cost will be. However, the cost per mile may be lower for longer distances because the shipping company can spread the fixed costs of the shipment over a greater number of miles. For example, if a vehicle is being shipped 1,000 miles, the cost per mile may be $0.85. If the vehicle is being shipped 3,000 miles, the cost per mile may be $0.45
Location
The location of the origin and destination of the shipment can also affect the cost. Shipping a vehicle to or from a remote location will typically be more expensive than shipping to or from a major city. This is because shipping companies often charge higher rates for remote locations due to the increased cost of fuel and labor. For example, shipping a vehicle from New York City to Los Angeles may cost $1,000, while shipping a vehicle from a small town to Los Angeles may cost slightly more.
Size and Weight
Larger and heavier vehicles will cost more to ship than smaller and lighter vehicles. This is because larger vehicles take up more space on the trailer. Longer and taller vehicles require additional adjustment during transport, which may slightly increase the cost of transporting the vehicle For example, a standard sedan may cost $500 , while a large SUV may cost little bit more to ship.
Type of Shipping
There are two types of shipping method : Open transport and Enclosed transport. Open car transportation offers a budget-friendly way to ship vehicles over long distances. It’s convenient, with door-to-door pickup and delivery. Enclosed car transport is a type of shipping service that involves transporting a car in a fully enclosed trailer. This type of transport is often used for high-value or classic cars, as it provides the best protection but the same time price of the vehicle shipping is more pricy.

Your vehicle is protected by the carrier’s cargo insurance during shipping. This coverage ensures that your vehicle is insured against physical damage or loss while in the carrier’s possession. In addition to the carrier’s cargo insurance, we offer contingent cargo insurance that provides up to $250,000 in protection. This insurance acts as a safety net in case the trucker’s policy does not fully cover a valid claim.
