rv shipping calculator for clear cost planning

Fast path to a firm estimate

Skip guesswork. Use the calculator to translate miles, weight, and access constraints into a workable price range and timeline.

• Enter pickup and drop-off.
• Add RV type, length, height, and running condition.
• Flag extras: escorts, winch, or enclosed transport.
• Review route risks, then lock dates.

Inputs that move the number

1. Distance: line-haul rate per mile scales with lanes and fuel.
2. Size/weight: oversize thresholds trigger permits.
3. Accessibility: tight parks or dirt roads add handling time.
4. Timing: storms and holidays tax capacity.

Example run

On Tuesday, I priced a 34-ft fifth-wheel Boise → Tampa. The rv shipping calculator showed two lanes: economy in eight days with hub transfer, or priority in five with direct carrier. I chose priority; the calendar and cost aligned, and the dispatcher confirmed a low-deck route to clear 13'6'.

Decide and proceed

Confirm VIN and dimensions, upload photos, and reserve. Expect a ±7% swing until the carrier sees the site; low branches and gate codes can nudge the final. Still, this workflow compresses planning hours into minutes - and lands the outcome you need.
