The honest answer is that it depends on the specifics. Compare the written scope first, then the price. The answer can shift with the Idaho market, so check locally.
Is Auto Transport cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in Idaho.
How many quotes should I get for auto transport?
