What is a Non-Running Vehicle?

An inoperable or non-running vehicle is a type of vehicle, like a car, motorcycle, heavy equipment, or any other transportation, that is not operating as designed or intended. These vehicles are considered inoperable due to various reasons such as mechanical issues, lack of important elements, serious damage, or legal compliance issues, making them inappropriate for use on public roads.


What Types Of Inoperable Vehicles Do We Ship?


Here is a list of inoperable vehicles BAH Logistics ships:


    Classic Cars and Motorbikes. Sometimes classic cars and motorbikes become inoperable due to age or some mechanical problems. They might need to be safely transported for restoration or presentation at exhibitions.

    Vintage Cars and Motorbikes. As in the case of classic vehicles, vintage vehicles may become non-running due to age or condition. They also need to be safely transported for repair work or display at car events

    Salvage Cars and Motorbikes. Salvage vehicles are usually damaged, wrecked, or declared totaled. They often need shipping for repair or resale.

    Junk Cars and Motorbikes. A junk car or motorbike is a vehicle that has been damaged so much that it isn’t worth the cost to repair it. They are transported for vehicle recycling or scrapping because they are beyond economical repair. 

    Collector Cars and Motorbikes. You may find non-running cars or motorbikes in the collection of some car collectors. So these types of vehicles may need transportation for future restoration or display at car exhibitions.

    Impounded Cars. Non-running vehicles that are taken by law enforcement may be moved to impound lots or auction sites.

    Off-Road Vehicles. Many off-road vehicles, such as UTVs and ATVs, need transportation for repair or resale.

    Factors That Determine the Inoperable Vehicle Shipping Costs

    The price of non-operable car shipping can be influenced by several factors, including:


    • Distance. The most significant factor is the distance between the pick-up and drop-off locations. The more miles your vehicle is transported, the more you can expect to pay.
    • Vehicle size and weight. The size and weight of the vehicle can affect the shipping price. Larger cars cost more to ship because they take up more space in the transporter.
    • Vehicle condition. The condition of a vehicle can also affect the price of shipping. Inoperable cars may need significant equipment to handle the transport, which can lead to higher transportation fees.
    • Shipping type. You can choose between enclosed or open carriers. Enclosed carriers provide more protection for your vehicle but they are more expensive.
    • Season. The season can also impact shipping pricing, with peak seasons usually leading to higher costs.
