Shipping a 2024 model with a dead engine typically adds $100 to $200 to your total because the carrier must use a winch or specialized loading equipment. Not all trailers are equipped for inoperable vehicles, so disclosing this is vital to avoid failed pickup fees. For a precise breakdown, you should request an instant car transport quote to see how the "non-running" status affects regional rates. Most open and enclosed trailers can handle winching, but the driver needs extra time and labor to safely steer and secure the vehicle without its own power. Ensuring the tires hold air and the steering rolls freely will help keep these additional labor costs to a minimum during the loading process.
