What is an Accessorial Charge?
An accessorial charge is an additional fee added to your vehicle transport quote for services beyond standard pick-up and delivery. These might include liftgate service, inside delivery, storage fees, or residential pick-up. These charges are not always included in your initial quote and can vary depending on the shipping route, delivery type, and carrier policies.
Why Are Accessorial Charges Important to Know?
Knowing about accessorial charges helps you avoid surprise costs. Whether you’re planning long distance towing or non-running car transport, understanding these extra fees ensures transparency. For example, if your drop-off location is hard to reach or requires special handling, the carrier may apply an additional charge.
